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.

made will be lost and the previous values restored. But the changes that are already saved or applied
cannot be canceled.
2.4.3. Configurations using Bluetooth wireless connection
The Parani-MSP1000 provides PAN(Personal Area Network) profile service as a way to access
the configuration interface of the box through TCP/IP using Bluetooth connection. Users may initially
configure the box using Bluetooth connection when their PC or lap-top has Bluetooth communication
capability. The following is the brief guide to do this way.
1) Hook up the power adapter to the Parani-MSP10000. Do not wire the Ethernet connection.
2) Search Parani-MSP1000 using Bluetooth Scan software and then connect to the device using
[Network Access Point] protocol.
3) Make sure the connection is made, and then check the IP address of the PC or laptop.
The Parani-MSP1000 has a built-in DHCP server, and it lease the 10.0.0.x IP address to the
client computer. The default IP address of the Parani-MSP1000 in this PAN is 10.0.0.1.
4) Try to connect to the Parani-MSP1000 by IP address, 10.0.0.1 using web or telnet program.
5) Users can configure the box using wireless connection.

3. Network Configuration
3.1. ETHERNET0 (eth0) Configuration
The Parani-MSP1000 requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment.
If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address
for the Parani-MSP1000. Please note that the Parani-MSP1000 requires a unique IP address to
connect to the user’s network.
The users may choose one of two Internet protocols in setting up IP address: i.e.
•Static IP
•DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The Parani-MSP1000 is initially defaulted to STATIC mode, with a static IP address of 192.168.161.5.
Table 3-1 shows the configuration parameters for all three IP configurations. Figure 3-1 shows the
actual web-based GUI to change the user’s IP configuration.

Figure 3-1 IP Configuration
3.1.1. When using a Static IP Address
When using a Static IP address, the user must manually specify all the configuration parameters
associated with the IP address of the Parani-MSP1000. These include the IP address, the network
subnet mask, the gateway computer and the domain name server computers. This section will look at

18
each of these in more detail.
Note: The Parani-MSP1000 will attempt to locate all this information every time it is turned on.
zIP address
A Static IP address acts as a “static” or permanent identification number. This number is assigned to
a computer to act as its location address on the network. Computers use these IP addresses to
identify and talk to each other on a network. Therefore, it is imperative that the selected IP address be
both unique and valid in a network environment.
Note: 192.168.1.x, 172.16.x.x and 10.x.x.x will never be assigned by and ISP (Internet Service
Provider). IP addresses using this form are considered private. Actual applications of the Parani-
MSp1000 may require access to public network, such as the Internet. If so, a valid public IP address
must be assigned to the user’s computer. A public IP address is usually purchased or leased from a
local ISP.
zSubnet mask
A subnet represents all the network hosts in one geographic location, such as a building or local area
network (LAN). The Parani-MSP1000 will use the subnet mask setting to verify the origin of all packets.
If the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is in the same geographic location (on the local
network segment) as defined by the subnet mask, the Parani-MSP1000 will establish a direct
connection. If the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is not identified as belonging on the local
network segment, a connection is established through the given default gateway.
zDefault gateway
A gateway is a network point that acts as a portal to another network. This point is usually the
computer or computers that control traffic within a network or a local ISP (Internet service provider).
The Parani-MSP1000 uses the IP address of the default gateway computer to communicate with hosts
outside the local network environment. Refer to the network administrator for a valid gateway IP
address.
zPrimary and Secondary DNS
The DNS (Domain Name System) server is used to locate and translate the correct IP address for a
requested web site address. A domain name is the web address (i.e. www.yahoo.com) and is
usually easier to remember. The DNS server is the host that can translate such text-based domain
names into the numeric IP addresses for a TCP/IP connection.
The IP address of the DNS server must be able to access the host site with the provided domain
name. The Parani-MSP1000 provides the ability to configure the required IP addresses of both the
Primary and Secondary DNS servers addresses. (The secondary DNS server is specified for use

19
when the primary DNS server is unavailable.)
3.1.2. When using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses centrally in an organization’s
network. DHCP allows the network administrator the ability to supervise and distribute IP addresses
from a central point and automatically send a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a
different network location.
When in static IP mode, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If a computer is
moved to another network location, a new IP address must be assigned. DHCP allows all the
parameters, including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS servers to be automatically
configured when the IP address is assigned. DHCP uses a “lease” concept in assigning IP
addresses to a computer. It limits the amount of time a given IP address will be valid for a computer.
All the parameters required to assign an IP address are automatically configured on the DHCP server
side, and each DHCP client computer receives this information when the IP address is provided at its
boot-up.
Each time the device is reset, the Parani-MSP1000 broadcasts a DHCP request over the network. The
reply generated by the DHCP server contains the IP address, as well as the subnet mask, gateway
address, DNS servers and the “lease” time. The Parani-MSP1000 immediately places this information
in its memory. Once the “lease” expires, the Parani-MSP1000 will request a renewal of the “lease”
time from the DHCP server. If the DHCP server approves the request for renewal, the Parani-
MSP1000 can continue to work with the current IP address. If the DHCP server denies the request for
renewal, the Parani-MSP1000 will start the procedure to request a new IP address from the DHCP
server.
Note: While in DHCP mode, all network-related parameters for the Parani-MSP1000 are to be
configured automatically, including the DNS servers
A DHCP sever assigns IP addresses dynamically from an IP address pool, which is managed by the
network administrator. This means that the DHCP client, i.e. the Parani-MSP1000, receives a different
IP address each time it boots up. The IP address should be reserved on the DHCP server side to
assure that the user always knows the newly assigned Parani-MSP1000 address. In order to reserve
the IP address in the DHCP network, the administrator needs the MAC address of the Parani-
MSP1000 found on the label sticker at the bottom of the Parani-MSP1000.
3.2. ETHERNET1 (eth1) Configuration

20
The Parani-MSP1000 has two ETHERNET ports. The users may configure the secondary ETHERNET
(eth1) to “Bridged with eth0” or “Bridged with pan0.”
zBridged with eth0
The eth1 will be bridged to eth0. If then, it works as a link fail-over of the eth0. When the eth0 is
unplugged, the Parani-MSP1000 sends packets through eth1 instead of eth0. While in this
operating, the IP address of eth1 is the IP address configured for the eth0. When the switching
from eth0 to eth1 or from eth1 to eth0 occurs, it doesn’t affect the TCP sessions.
zBridged with pan0
The eth1 will be bridged to network interface for Personal Area Network (pan0). The Parani-
MSP1000 treats the hosts connected via eth1 as the hosts Bluetooth profiles (PAN, LAP and
DUN). This means that the hosts connected to Parani-MSP1000 via eth1 are able to
communicate the hosts connected to Parani-MSP1000 via Bluetooth.
3.3. SYSLOG server Configuration
The Parani-MSP1000 supports the use of a remote message logging service, SYSLOG service for the
system and port data logging. To use the remote SYSLOG service, the user must specify the
SYSLOG server’s IP address and the facility to be used. Figure 3-2 shows the SYSLOG server
configuration page which is located in the Web interface.
Figure 3-2 SYSLOG server configuration
To receive log messages from the Parani-MSP1000, the SYSLOG server must be configured as
“remote reception allowed”. If there is a firewall between the Parani-MSP1000 and the SYSLOG
server, there must be a rule that allows all outgoing and incoming UDP packets to travel across the
firewall.
The Parani-MSP1000 supports SYSLOG facilities from local0 to local7. The user can employ
these facilities to save messages from the Parani-MSP1000 separately in the SYSLOG server.
If the SYSLOG service is enabled and the SYSLOG server configuration is properly set up, the user
may configure the storage location for the system log of the Parani-MSP1000 as SYSLOG server. For
more information about the configuration of system log storage location, please refer to 7.2 System
