The Parani-BCDx10 is a Bluetooth OEM SMD/DIP module combining antenna for OEM manufactures
who want to implement Bluetooth functionality with their products cost effectively and also in timely
manner. Parani-BCDx10 have a built in antenna to lower the overall cost while benefit from the Parani-
BCDx10’s field-proven standard SPP firmware provided with no additional cost.
The Parani-BCD210 supports Class2 Bluetooth transmission level for the shorter communication
distance typically ranges from 50m up to 300m. The Parani-BCD110 supports Class1 Bluetooth
transmission level for longer communication distance typically ranges from 200m up to 1000m.
The Parani-BCDx10 is provided with Bluetooth v2.0+EDR compatible firmware runs internally for SPP
(Serial Port Profile) applications by default. The SPP firmware supports up to 4 simultaneous multiple
connections and is designed to work out-of-box for real world SPP applications such as POS (Point-of-
sales), industrial automation, remote metering and other various applications. Optionally, the Parani-
BCDx10 can be supplied with only software stack up to HCI level so entire Bluetooth stack runs on the
host side for the application such as USB dongles for computers or OEM manufacturers can even
develop and embed their own firmware into the Parani-BCDx10.
The Parani-BCDx10 is fully qualified with Bluetooth v2.0+EDR specification so OEM manufacturers
can save cost and time for overall OEM product certifications, which makes the Parani-BCDx10 ideal

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-BCDx10 requires also includes some settings
for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-BCDx10, 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-BCDx10 has 4 operation modes as follows:
Table 3-1 The Parani-BCDx10 Operation Modes
Mode
Description
Mode0
In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-BCDx10 is
just waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-BCDx10 in
mode0. User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-BCDx10 in this mode.
Parani-BCDx10 must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1
Parani-BCDx10 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-BCDx10 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device. Parani-BCDx10 always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani-
BCDx10 has connected last. When Parani-BCDx10 is initially used or after hardware reset,
there is no BD address stored in Parani-BCDx10. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work
properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made after Parani-BCDx10 succeeds to connect
to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-BCDx10 will try to connect
automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software
reset.
Parani-BCDx10 in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Mode2
Parani-BCDx10 is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-BCDx10 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-
BCDx10, the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once
changed to Mode2, Parani-BCDx10 will wait for the connection from the last connected
Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset.
Parani-BCDx10 in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than
the last connected device.
Mode3
Parani-BCDx10 is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the
Parani-BCDx10 is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.

3.3. Data Bit
Parani-BCDx10 supports only 8 data bit. But if both master device and slave device are one of Parani-
SD, Parani-ESD or Parani-BCDx10 or Parani-MSP1000 series, Parani series devices can support 7
data bit and even/odd parity by setting both Parani series devices to 8 data bit and none parity. But 7
data bit and none parity cannot be supported even if both master device and slave device are Parani
series devices.
3.4. Hardware Flow Control
Parani-BCDx10 plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth
device. This data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of Parani-BCDx10 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-BCDx10 malfunction consequently. In order to
prevent this buffer overflow, Parani-BCDx10 works as follows.
When using hardware flow control, Parani-BCDx10 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-BCDx10 clears 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. (Not support
flow control in Multi-Drop Mode.)
3.5. Remote Configuration
Parani-BCDx10 supports remote configuration. After connecting to the Parani-BCDx10 through
Bluetooth, before sending any other character, send three escape character (default :+). Then, the
Parani-BCDx10 will enter remote configuration mode and print “Please Enter Password”. You have to

Parani-BCDx10 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-
BCDx10 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-BCDx10 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-BCDx10 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.

Figure 3-7 Signal Strength Test
The signal strength test shows LInkQuality and RSSI values. The closer LinkQuality is to 255 and
RSSI is to 0, this means the Parani-BCDx10 has a good connection to the connected Bluetooth device.
In general, the wireless connectivity is at its best within 10 meters. You can push the STOP button at
any time in order to terminate the signal strength test. The signal strength test will continue until the
STOP button is pushed. If you close the ParaniWIN Window without pushing the STOP button, you
must restart Parani-BCDx10 to terminate the test.
Connection(in) icon will show the following window, which enables the Parani-BCDx10 to wait for a
connection from another Bluetooth device. If the waiting time is set to 0, Parani-BCDx10 will
continually wait for connection until [Cancel] button is clicked.
