2. Configuration 2.1. Operation Modes In addition to the serial port configurations the Parani-SD1100 also requires some settings for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD1100, 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.
2.2. LED Indicators RS422/485-Tx and RS422/485-Rx LED will flash accordingly when data is transmitted. For small data transmissions, it may be hard to recognize the quick flashing action of the LED. Charge Led and Low battery LED will be off, if you don’t use battery pack.
2.5. Reset to Factory Defaults To set all the configuration settings to its factory default parameters, press the reset button, depicted in Fig. 3-1. Press and hold (for at least 1 sec) the reset button with a narrow pointed tool like paper clip. Reset works only when power is on. 2.6. Dipswitch With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, RS422/485 select, baud rate 9600 select, 485 echo and termination on/off control can be set. ParaniWIN or terminal program should be used to set these speeds.
2.7. Pairing Button Parani-SD1100 provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without a PC to make an automatic connection between two Parani-SD1100s. In this example we will refer to the two Parani-SD1100s as SD1 and SD2. (Only single connection mode) Step 1. Turn on SD1 and SD2 and reset both of them by pressing Factory Reset Button. Step 2. Press the Pairing Button of SD1 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds. Keep the power ON. Step 3.

Figure 2-5 Menu Bar at Upper Left corner of ParaniWIN When the ParaniWin software is able to access the Parani-SD1100 properly, the icons in the left side window come will become available for use. In device configuration window, hardware reset can be executed or operation mode and RS422/485 can be configured as well. Security option also can be configured in this window. Figure 2-6 Device Setting Window Parani-SD1100 supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption.
Parani-SD1100 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. For Parani-SD1100, hardware flow control can be configured only by dip switch. And parity, stop bit can be configured only SW config mode. Thus H/W Flow Control option will not work in this case. When the dipswitch value isn’t ATcommand mode, the Baud Rate menu will be disabled.
Figure 2-8 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-SD1100 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 anytime in order to terminate the signal strength test. The signal strength test will continue until the STOP button is pushed.
If the Connection Wizard icon is clicked, an easy to use pairing menu will appear: Figure 2-10 Connection Wizard Window In this example we will refer to the two Parani-SD1100s as SD1 and SD2 respectively. To use this menu, please do the following: Step 1. Connect SD1 and then push the START button. Step 2. Disconnect SD1, connect SD2 and then push the Next button after setting up Slave configuration. At this time, the dip switch value should be ATcmd mode.

If you are using Windows 98SE or higher version of Windows, HyperTerminal program is included as part of the operating system. Parani-SD1100 provides some extended AT commands for configuration of the Parani-SD1100. This manual will explain the method using HyperTerminal.
Make sure that the Connect LED is turned off and the Stanby LED is turned on before attempting to send any kind of AT commands to the Parani-SD1100. Then launch HyperTerminal, it can usually be found in start >programs >accessories >communication >HyperTerminal. Select the Serial port that Parani-SD1100 is connected to. Select the Serial port setting in the window displayed, please make sure the serial settings in Hyperterminal are set to the same settings as the Parani-SD1100’s serial settings.
3. Multiple Connection Mode 3.1. Overview Parani-SD1100 supports multiple connections up to 4 slave units. There are two types of multiple connection modes: Multi-Drop Mode and Node Switching Mode. Figure 4-1 Multi-Drop Mode In Multi-Drop Mode a master unit can connect to maximum 4 slave units at the same time and they transfer data bi-directionally as in Figure 4-1.
3.2. Configuration All the slaves should be in the status of waiting for connection either in Mode 2 or Mode 3 and the master unit tries to connect to the slave units. The master unit needs to be configured to work in a multiple connection mode using AT+MULTI,x command, which makes master reboots after execution.
3.3. AT Commands 3.3.1. AT+MULTI,n Select a multiple connection mode. Refer to Table 4-1 for descriptions. 3.3.2. AT+MLIST?
