Note *:
Bluetooth v2.0 supports the AFH function. The AFH function is used to decrease the amount of
interference between WiFi and Bluetooth radios by automatically avoiding any active WiFi
channels. However, AFH does not provide a complete solution, allowing WiFi and Bluetooth to
work together in harmony; AFH will only decrease the likelihood of interference. It is highly
recommended for users to test their wireless system throughly before deployment, since the
overall system performance can be influenced by various environmental factors such as
distance and other environmental radio interference.

2.4. Configurations
The Parani-MSP1000 provides several techniques to configure your unit for the environment.
RS232 Serial console
If users want to configure the MSP1000 before connecting the unit to a network or if a network
connection is not available, they can accomplish this by using RS232 serial console cable
provided in the package.
Remote console
Users who require a menu-driven interface from a remote location can utilize Telnet (port 23) or
SSH (port 22) connections to the Parani-MSP1000 using Telnet or SSH client. The menu-driven
user interface provides limited functions for initial configuration.
NOTE : Please note that Parani-MSP1000 supports only the SSH v2, so user must use the SSH client
which is able to support SSH v2.
WebInterface
Remote users who want to use a web browser to configure the Parani-MSP1000 can connect to
the Parani-MSP1000 using a conventional web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox
Navigator. The Web Interface comprises of an Easy-to-use menu-driven user interface that
provides full-featured configurationof the MSP1000 .

14
2.4.1. Configuration using the RS232 serial connection
1) Connect one end of the console cable to the console port on theParani-MSP1000.
Figure 2-4Connecting a system console cable to the Parani-MSP1000
2) Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of the user’s computer.
3) Run a terminal program (i.e. HyperTerminal). Set the serial configuration parameters of the
terminal program as follows:
9600 Baud rate
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
No flow control
4) Press the [ENTER] key.
5) Enter your username and password into the Parani-MSP1000. The factory default user
settings are as follows.

2.4.2. Configurations using Ethernet connection
The IP address of the Parani-MSP1000 must be known before users can access the box using the
Remote console. The default IP address of the Parani-MSP1000 is 192.168.161.5. Once users know
the IP address of the box, they can access to it either by using telnet/ssh program or a web browser.
The default user name and password is as same as the serial console interface as follows.
root : root
1) Telnet/SSH Access
The steps for accessing telnet/ssh interface is exactly same as in the serial console access.
Please take steps from 5) to 8) in chapter 2.4.1 to get into the menu-driven user interface.
2) Web Access
The Parani-MSP1000 supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocols.
Figure 2-5 Login screen of the Parani-MSP1000 web management

17
Figure 2-6 The Parani-MSP1000 web management screen
Figure 2-6 shows the configurationhomepage of the Parani-MSP1000 Web management interface. A
menu bar is provided on the left hand side of the screen. The menu bar includes the uppermost
configuration menu groups. Selecting an item on the menu bar opens a tree view of all the submenus
available under each grouping. Selecting a submenu item will allow the user to modify parameter
settings for that item. Every page will allow the user to [Save to Flash], [Save & apply] or [Cancel] their
actions. After changing the configuration parameter values, the users must select [Save] to save the
changed parameter values to the non-volatile memory.
To apply all changes made, the user must select [Apply Changes]. This option is available on the
bottom of the menu bar. Only when the user selects [Apply changes] will the new parameter values be
applied to the Parani-MSP1000 configuration. Users also can select [Save & apply] to save
parameters and apply changes in one step.
If the user does not want to save the new parameter values, the user must opt to [Cancel]. All changes
made will be lost and the previous values restored. Any 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 using a Bluetooth connection. Users may initially configure
the box using Bluetooth connection when their PC or lap-top has Bluetooth communication capability.

18
Please refer to the following:
1) Attach the power adapter to the Parani-MSP1000. Do not attach the Ethernet cable on the
MSP1000 or the PC.
2) Search for the 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 leases 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.

19
3. Network Configuration
3.1. IP Configuration
3.1.1. Ethernet 0 (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 two IP configurations. Figure 3-1 is an example of
what the actual web-based GUI display looks like.

3.1.1.1. 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
each of these in more detail.
Note: The Parani-MSP1000 will attempt to locate all this information every time it is turned on.
IP 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 anetwork 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.
Subnet 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 usethe 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, aconnection is established through the given default gateway.
Default 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.
Primary 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
