1. About Parani-MSP™
Parani-MSP™ is a Bluetooth-wireless multiple serial server for minimum 7 to maximum
14 devices; an option to conventional multi-serial ports. Wireless Parani-MSP™ results
in dramatic installation cost and time savings.
With Parani-SD™ installed at RS-232 interfaced terminals, Parani-MSP™ affords
dependable convenience for a variety of serial communications environments.
Refer to the figure 1.1. below:
<Fig. 1.1>
Parani-MSP™ has Bluetooth protocol stack qualified by Bluetooth SIG, which assures
standardized, secure and scaleable serial communications. Parani-MSP™ identification of
data, per each additional unique Bluetooth SPP enabled device address, prevents data
jam.
Bluetooth’s 2.4GHz frequency-hopping system is resilient to RF interference from
sources such as Wireless LAN. Increased communications security is possible via
optional user set-up authentication.
Parani-MSP™ transmits data from each Bluetooth devices to Host PC via TCP/IP
Ethernet. Host PC also responds to each Bluetooth devices wirelessly via Parani-MSP™.
Non-TCP/IP legacy serial applications can make use of Parani-MSP™ without any

①DIP Switch
Users may select the way of data communication with host PC. Default setting is TCP/IP
communication using no. ④RJ45 marked EXT, but if users need, data communication via
no. ③RS232 Interface marked “IOIOI” is also possible.
* If DIP switch is on the side of drawing , Parani-MSP communicates with Host via
Ethernet line (TCP/IP).
* If users want to use RS232 com. please change the direction of switch to the other way.
(effective after power-cycling)
②Power Port: For Power Adapter connection
③RS232 Interface marked “IOIOI”:
For Parani-MSP network configuration via RS232 serial cable - One RS232 serial cable,
both ends female DSUB interfaces, is provided with Parani-MSP. This port can be used for
both Configuration of Parani-MSP and Data communication with Host.

④RJ45 marked EXT.: For connection to Host or hub devices. For connection to PC, use a
Crossed cable; for connection to hub, use Straight Ethernet cable.
⑤RJ45 marked INT.: Hub port for connection to another Parani-MSP™. With this,
Parani-MSP can be chained without network hub. This is for the better user experience of
convenient installation. Use a straight cable for this purpose.
⑥USB Extension Port: For expanding multi-connection beyond 7 devices. A Bluetooth
USB extension dongle will be supplied with Parani-MSP100(b) for extension of 7 connections.
