Note Bluetooth v1.2 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.

Figure 3-8 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-SD 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.

Appendix B: AT Commands B.1. Terminology B.1.1. AT Command AT command set is the in fact standard language for controlling modems . The AT command set was developed by Hayes and is recognized by virtually all personal computer modems. Parani-SD provides the extended AT command set to control and configure the serial parameters and Bluetooth connection.
B.1.6. Symbols The symbols are used for the description of command syntax as follows: Symbols Meaning ASCII Code Carriage return 0x0D Line feed 0x0A Carriage return + Line feed 112233445566 Bluetooth device address N or m One digit decimal number Timeout in seconds B.2.
B.3. Command Description B.3.1. ATZ OK Response Purpose Software Reset Description This has the same effects as Powercycling the unit. This command disconnects any connected Bluetooth device, and stops ongoing tasks. After rebooting, the status will be decided by the preset operation mode. Some AT commands require the ATZ command be run so that the commands can take effect.
B.3.5. AT+USEDIP? m Response Purpose Check the Baud rate set by the dip switch Description m=0: Dip switches are set to ‘ S/W Config’ m=1: Please view the dipswitches to view your baud rate. Reference AT, ATZ, AT&F, ATS B.3.6.

Description For the given to, Parani-SD is waiting for the inquiry and connection from other Bluetooth devices. If the parameter of to is 0, it will wait forever. When connection is made with other Bluetooth device, response will be ‘ CONNECT’with its BD address.
Description Parani-SD attempts to connect to the Bluetooth device with the given BD address. To make successful connection, the Bluetooth device must be in Page scan mode. This attempt continues for 5 minutes. If it fails to make connection, response is ‘ ERROR ’ . Reference AT+BTINQ?, AT+BTSCAN Example...
Description Pin code is a string, which allows up to 16 alpha-numeric characters. Based on this pin code, Parani-SD generates a link key which is used in actual authentication process Reference AT+BTCSD, AT+BTFP, AT+BTSD?, AT+BTSEC, ATZ, AT&F Example AT+BTKEY=”apple” B.3.24. AT+BTSD? ...
Description If the authentication is activated, the pin code must be set by AT+BTKEY command. Data encryption cannot be used when authentication is not enabled, i.e. Authentication=0 and Encryption=1 will not work properly. Reference AT+BTCSD, AT+BTFP, AT+BTSD?, AT+BTSD?, ATZ, AT&F B.3.28.

Appendix C: S-Register S-registers contains 52 parameters for the Parani-SD Series. These are stored in flash memory and the values will be saved unless hardware reset is executed. The value of S-register can be accessed and changed with ATS command. Some S-registers not shown below are set to maximize the performance of Parani-SD Series.
C.7. S12: Clear Data Buffer When Disconnected (default 0) S12=0, Parani-SD does not clear the data buffer when disconnected. S12=1, Parani-SD clears the data buffer when disconnected. C.8. S13: Enable DCD Signal (default 1) S13=0, DCD signal off S13=1, DCD signal on C.9.
* When 10 bytes data are sent every intercharacter timeout, they are sent separately by 10 bytes at the optimal value. If the intercharater timeout is set below the optimal value, the date will be put together and sent by 20, 30, 40 bytes or more. C.15.
C.24. S48: Low Power Max Interval (default 2048) This is the max interval value to use low power mode, which is set to 2048 initially. (2048 x 625μsec = 1280msec) C.25. S49: Low Power Min Interval (default 800) This is the min interval value to use low power mode, which is set to 800 initially. (800 x 625μsec = 500msec) When sniff mode, a small sniff interval increases power consumption, a large sniff interval increases latency.
Appendix D: Trouble Shooting D.1. No Data Transmission D.1.1. COM Port Settings Check whether the Baud rate of Parani-SD matches that of its host equipment. Check whether the host equipment has a Data bit setting of 8. Parani-SD supports only 8 Data bit settings.
