3. Configuration
3.1. Operation Modes
In addition to the serial port configurations such as bit/second, data bit, parity, stop bit, flow control,
Parani-ESD has some configurations for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-ESD, 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 device, and slave is waiting to be connected from other Bluetooth devices. A Bluetooth
connection is always made by a pair of master and slave. A slave can be in two modes, Inquiry Scan
or Page Scan mode. Inquiry Scan mode is waiting the packet of inquiry from other Bluetooth devices
and Page Scan mode is waiting the packet of connection from other Bluetooth devices. Every
Bluetooth device has its unique address, called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is composed of
12 hexa-decimal numbers.
Parani-ESD has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as
illustrated in next section.
Table 3-1 The Parani-ESD Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0 Parani-ESD must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled byAT commands.
In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-ESD is just
waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-ESD in mode0.
User can change the configurations of Parani-ESD in this mode.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1 Parani-ESD tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-ESD in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device. Parani-ESD always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani-
ESD has connected last time. When Parani-ESD is initially used or after hardware reset, there
is no BD address stored in Parani-ESD. In this case, Mode1 does not make any sense and
mode change from other operation modes to Mode1 is not allowed. The mode change to
Mode1 can be made after Parani-ESD succeeds to connect to other Bluetooth device in
Mode0. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-ESD will try to connect automatically the last
connected Bluetooth device whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Mode2 Parani-ESD is waiting for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-ESD 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-ESD,
the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not allowed. Once changed to
Mode2, Parani-ESD will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device
whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the
last connected device.
Mode3 Parani-ESD is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices.
Parani-ESD in Mode3 acts like in Mode2, but allows any connection from other Bluetooth
device. Most of general Bluetooth device is set to Mode3.
Parani-ESD in Mode3 can be discovered and connected from any other Bluetooth devices.

3.2. Serial Ports
The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows.
Table 3-2 The Parani-ESD Serial Port Settings
Serial Port Settings Values
Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38200, 57600, 115200, 230400
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.
3.2.1. Data Bit
Parani-ESD supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit, please contact the technical support.
3.2.2. Hardware Flow Control
Parani-ESD plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth device.
These data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of Parani-ESD 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 the transmission delay. If the host sends more data when
the buffer is full, buffer overflow will make Parani-ESD malfunction consequently. In order to prevent
this buffer overflow, Parani-ESD works as follows.
In case of using hardware flow control, Parani-ESD makes RTS be ‘disable’ to stop receiving further
data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be ‘able’ to begin receiving data again from
the host when the buffer has some room for more data.
In case of not using hardware flow control, Parani-ESD clears the buffer to secure the room for next
data when the buffer becomes full. This means the loss of data. As the transmission data becomes
large, the possibility of data loss goes higher.
For large data transmission, use of hardware flow control is highly recommended.
3.2.3. Software and Utility
This configuration software and utility for firmware update comes with the product, which also can be
downloaded from http://www.sena.com

The icons in the left side window come to the corresponding windows.
In device configuration window, hardware reset can be executed or operation mode and RS232 can
be configured as well. Security option also can be configured in this window.
Figure 3-6 Device Setting Window
Parani-ESD supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you check the
Authentication option, you must also enter the Pin Code value. If the authentication is activated, the
connection, only between the Master and Slave device that share the same Pin Code, is established.
In case that Parani-ESD connects to other Bluetooth device that enables authentication, you must
know the other device’s Pin Code. In general Bluetooth devices, 1234 or 0000 is used as a default

16
value. If you check Encryption option, the Parani-ESD encrypts packets and sends them. The
Encryption options works well in case that only one between Master and Slave uses this option.
Parani-ESD 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.
Click [Apply] button to reflect the given options to Parani-ESD actually.
Connect(out) icon will show the following window to search and connect other Bluetooth devices.
Figure 3-7 Connect(out) Window
Click [Search] button to search nearby Bluetooth devices. The maximum number of devices to be
searched can be controlled. Select one of the devices searched and click [Connect] button. The
selected Bluetooth device must be in Page scan mode. Click [Disconnect] button to cancel the
connection normally.
After the connection is established, you are able to test sensitivity by pushing the START button.
