2. Configuration
2.1. Operation Modes
In addition to the serial port configurations the Parani-SD1100 also requires some settings for
Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD1100, user should understand the following Bluetooth
connection schemes.
A Bluetooth device can play a role as a master or slave. Master tries to connect itself to other
Bluetooth devices, and slave is waiting to be connected from other Bluetooth devices. A Bluetooth
connection is always made by a pair of master and slave devices. A slave can be in two modes,
Inquiry Scan or Page Scan mode. Inquiry Scan mode is waiting for a packet of inquiry from other
Bluetooth device and Page Scan mode is waiting for a packet of connection from other Bluetooth
device. Every Bluetooth device has its unique address, called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is
composed of 12 hexa-decimal numbers.
Parani-SD1100 has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as
illustrated in next section.
Table 2-1 The Parani-SD1100 Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0 In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-SD1100 is
just waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-SD1100 in
mode0. User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-SD1100 in this mode.
Parani-SD1100 must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1 Parani-SD1100 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD1100 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device. Parani-SD1100 always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani-
SD1100 has connected last. When Parani-SD1100 is initially used or after hardware reset,
there is no BD address stored in Parani-SD1100. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work
properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made after Parani-SD1100 succeeds to connect
to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-SD1100 will try to connect
automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software
reset.
Parani-SD1100 in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Mode2 Parani-SD1100 is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD1100 in Mode2 is to be a slave and waiting for the connection only from the last
connected Bluetooth device. Just like Mode1, if there is no BD address stored in Parani-
SD1100, the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once
changed to Mode2, Parani-SD1100 will wait for the connection from the last connected
Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset.
Parani-SD1100 in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than
the last connected device.
Mode3 Parani-SD1100 is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the
Parani-SD1100 is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.

11
2.2. LED Indicators
RS422/485-Tx and RS422/485-Rx LED will flash accordingly when data is transmitted. For small data
transmissions, it may be hard to recognize the quick flashing action of the LED. Charge Led and Low
battery LED will be off, if you don’t use battery pack.

and none parity. At this time, master and slave are Parani-SD, Parani-ESD or Parani-MSP series. But
7 data bit and none parity is not support.

12
2.5. Reset to Factory Defaults
To set all the configuration settings to its factory default parameters, press the reset button, depicted in
Fig. 3-1. Press and hold (for at least 1 sec) the reset button with a narrow pointed tool like paper clip.
Reset works only when power is on.
2.6. Dipswitch
With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, RS422/485 select, baud rate 9600 select, 485 echo and
termination on/off control can be set.
ParaniWIN or terminal program should be used to set these speeds. To set a baud rate not shown
below the dipswitches should be in the S/W Config setting. When in the S/W Config setting the baud
rate will go back to 9600 as default.

2.7. Pairing Button
Parani-SD1100 provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without a PC to make an automatic
connection between two Parani-SD1100s. In this example we will refer to the two Parani-SD1100s as
SD1 and SD2. (Only single connection mode)
Step 1. Turn on SD1 and SD2 and reset both of them by pressing Factory Reset Button.
Step 2. Press the Pairing Button of SD1 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds.
Keep the power ON.
Step 3. Press the Pairing Button of SD2 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds.
Now press again the Pairing Button for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks every second.
Step 4. Wait for SD1 & SD2 to connect to each other until the Connect LED’s of SD1 and SD2 blink
every 1 second. It takes about 10 seconds to make a connection. If there are many Bluetooth
devices nearby, it may take longer.
Step 5. Turn SD1 off and on. Mode LED blinks twice in green every 3 seconds.
Step 6. Turn SD2 off and on. Mode LED blinks in green every second.
Step 7. Now SD1 and SD2 are configured to make automatic connection to each other, whenever they
are powered on.
Using a pair of Parani-SD1100 in this fashion is similar to that of using a wireless serial cable.
* Note: When using the pairing buttons, the Command Response option will be deactivated
automatically. The Parani-SD1100 will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and
Disconnect.

Figure 2-5 Menu Bar at Upper Left corner of ParaniWIN
When the ParaniWin software is able to access the Parani-SD1100 properly, the icons in the left side
window come will become available for use.
In device configuration window, hardware reset can be executed or operation mode and RS422/485
can be configured as well. Security option also can be configured in this window.
Figure 2-6 Device Setting Window
Parani-SD1100 supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you enable the
Authentication option, you must also enter a Pin Code value. If the authentication is enabled, the
connection, between the Master and Slave device must share the same Pin Code. In case that Parani-
SD1100 connects to another Bluetooth device, that requires authentication, you must know the other
device’s Pin Code. In general, most Bluetooth devices have a pincode of 1234 or 0000. If you check
Encryption option, the Parani-SD1100 will encrypt packets and sent to the device. The Encryption
options works well in case that only one of the devices between Master and Slave use the Encryption
option.

17
Parani-SD1100 has 4 response messages, ‘OK’, ‘ERROR’, ‘CONNECT’, and ‘DISCONNECT’. In
some cases, these responses can affect the host system unexpectedly. To prevent this, user can set
the Command response to ON or OFF.
For Parani-SD1100, hardware flow control can be configured only by dip switch. And parity, stop bit
can be configured only SW config mode. Thus H/W Flow Control option will not work in this case.
When the dipswitch value isn’t ATcommand mode, the Baud Rate menu will be disabled.
Click [Apply] button to apply any changes made to the Parani-SD1100.
Connection(out) icon will show the following window to search and connect other Bluetooth devices.
