Note *:
Bluetooth v2.0 supports improved AFH function. AFH function is to mitigate the interference
between WiFi and Bluetooth radios by automatically avoiding the active WiFi channel from
Bluetooth link. However, AFH does not provide a complete solution making WiFi and Bluetooth
work together in harmony. It is highly recommended for users to test their wireless system
enough before deployment since the overall system performance is affected by various
environmental factors such as distance between them.

3. Configuration
3.1. Operation Modes
In addition to the serial port configurations the Parani-SD1000 also requires some settings for
Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD1000, 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-SD1000 has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as
illustrated in next section.
Table3-1The Parani-SD1000 Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0 In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-SD1000is
just waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-SD1000 in
mode0. User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-SD1000 in this mode.
Parani-SD1000 must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1 Parani-SD1000 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD1000 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device.Parani-SD1000 always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani-
SD1000 has connected last. When Parani-SD1000 is initially used or after hardware reset,
there is no BD address stored in Parani-SD1000. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work
properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made after Parani-SD1000 succeeds to connect
to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-SD1000 will try to connect
automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software
reset.
Parani-SD1000 in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Mode2 Parani-SD1000 is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD1000 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-
SD1000, the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once
changed to Mode2,Parani-SD1000 will wait for the connection from the last connected
Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset.
Parani-SD1000 in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than
the last connected device.
Mode3 Parani-SD1000 is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the
Parani-SD1000 is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.
3.2. LED Indicators
RS232-Tx and RS232-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.

3.3. Serial Ports
The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows.

Data bite 8
Parity No parity, Even parity, Odd parity
Stop bit 1, 2
Hardware Flow Control Use, No Use
The values in box are the factory defaults. The flow control setting is configurable only through dip
switch.
3.4 Data Bit
Parani-SD1000 supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit and even/odd parity, use SD 8 data
bit 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.
3.5 Hardware Flow Control
Parani-SD1000 plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth

15
device. This data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of Parani-SD1000 and sent repeatedly until
the transmission is completed packet by packet. When the radio transmission condition is not good
enough to send data promptly, it can cause a transmission delay. If the host sends more data when the
buffer is full, buffer overflow will make Parani-SD1000 malfunction consequently. In order to prevent
this buffer overflow, Parani-SD1000 works as follows.
When using hardware flow control, Parani-SD1000 disables RTS so that it stops receiving any further
data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be re-enabled again to begin receiving data
from the host when the buffer has created more room for more data.
When hardware flow control is not being used, the Parani-SD1000clears the buffer to secure room for
the next data when the buffer becomes full. This can mean a loss of data may occur. As the
transmission data becomes large, the possibility of data loss becomes greater.
For large data transmissions, the use of hardware flow control is highly recommended.
3.6 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.
3.7 Dipswitch
With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, baud rate and hardware flow control can be set.
Figure 3-1 The Parani-SD1000 Dipswitch
Upper 3 dipswitches are used for setting the baud rate, and bottom dipswitch is used for setting
hardware flow control option. If the baud rate needs to a baud rate not shown below, 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.

* Note: You cannot set the Parani-SD1000 to a Baud rate of 1200 and 230K by way of the Dipswitch. If
you want to use them, to set these speeds, please configure the dipswitch to S/W Config setting and
use ParaniWIN or AT commands. Please refer to ParaniWIN and Appendix B.3.4
AT+UARTCONFIG,Baudrate,Paraty,Stopbit.
3.8 Pairing Button
Parani-SD1000 provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without a PC to make an automatic
connection between two Parani-SD1000s. In this example we will refer to the two Parani-SD1000s as
SD1 and SD2, respectively. In pairing status, SD changes IAC value automatically (reference C.19).
Step 1. Turn on SD1 and SD2 and Factory 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 ModeLED 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 3 times 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-SD1000 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-SD1000 will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and
Disconnect.

Parani-SD1000 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-
SD1000 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-SD1000 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.
Parani-SD1000 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-SD1000, 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’tATcommand mode, the Baud Rate menu will be disabled.
