3. Configuration 3.1. Operation Modes In addition to the serial port configurations such as bit/second, data bit, parity, stop bit, flow control, Parani-SD has some configurations for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD, user should understand the following Bluetooth connection schemes. A Bluetooth device can play a role as a master or slave.
3.2. LED Indicators RS232-Tx and RS232-Rx LED are blinking accordingly when data is transmitted. For small data transmission, it may be hard to recognize the quick blinking. Table 3-2 The Parani-SD LED Indicators Indicator Power / Charging finish Standby / Charging Connect LED (Green LED) (Red LED)
In case of using hardware flow control, Parani-SD makes RTS be ‘disable’ to stop receiving further data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be ‘able’ to begin receiving data again from the host when the buffer has some room for more data. In case of not using hardware flow control, Parani-SD clears the buffer to secure the room for next data when the buffer becomes full.

Appendix B: AT Commands B.1. Terminology B.1.1. AT Command AT command set is the d e facto standard l anguage for controlling m odems . The AT command set was developed by H ayes and is recognized by virtually all p ersonal computer modems.
B.1.5. 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 Bluetooth device address N or m One digit decimal number Timeout in seconds B.2.
B.3. Command Description B.3.1. ATZ SD Response Purpose Software Reset Description This is the same effect as power off and on. This command disconnects Bluetooth device, and stops ongoing task. After rebooting, the status is decided by the preset operation mode. Some AT commands need ATZ to take effect.

SD Response Purpose Convert the operation status of ‘Connect’ to ‘Standby’ Description In ‘Connect’ status, data from host is transmitted to the other side Bluetooth device, and any AT command is not accepted but this command, which is not echoed on the screen. When Parani-SD encounters a character ‘+’...
Description This allows the inquiry and connection from the other Bluetooth devices. The operation status will be in ‘Pending’ after this command. When connection is made and released, the operation status is back to ‘Pending’. To convert the operation status to ‘Standby’ AT+BTCANCEL must be used.
SD Response CONNECT 112233445566 ERROR Purpose Connect to the last connected Bluetooth device Description Parani-SD saves the BD address of the Bluetooth device most recently connected. ATD can make connection to it without input its BD address. If it fails to make connection, SD response is ‘ERROR’. Reference AT+BTINQ?, AT+BTSCAN B.3.20.
Example AT+BTKEY=”apple” B.3.23. AT+BTSD? SD Response 112233445566 Purpose Display the list of Bluetooth devices sharing the pin code Description Once a connection is made with pin code, Parani-SD saves the Bluetooth device with its link key generated by pin code. The connection to a device listed in Parani-SD can be made automatically without authentication process.

Appendix C: S-Register S-registers contain 46 parameters of Parani-SD. These are stored in flash memory and sustained the values unless hardware reset is executed. The value of S-register can be accessed and changed with ATS command by user. Some S-registers not shown below are set to maximize the performance of Parani-SD.
C.5. S6: Enable Low Power Mode (default 0) S10=0, deactivate Low Power Mode. S10=1, activate Low Power Mode. This value decides whether SD works in Low Power Mode or not. When this value is 0, SD works only in active power mode. When SD works in Low Power mode, delay in transferring data may occur. C.6.
S22=3, page/inquiry scan C.12. S24: Maximum Number of Inquiry Result (default 10) The maximum number of inquiry list can be controlled. This value is up to C.13. S28: Escape Sequence Character (default 43) The decimal number of the ASCII code of escape sequence character can be controlled. The initial value is 43, the ASCII code of ‘+’.
Appendix D: Trouble Shooting D.1 No Data Transmission D.1.1 COM Port Settings Check whether the Baud rate of Parani-SD is same as that of its host equipment. You can know the Baud Rare if you check the dipswitch. If it is Atcommand mode, you can initialize Baud rate to 9600 by pressing Reset Button.

The messages of AT response may affect the function of host system. Set ATS10=0 not to send SD response to host system and try again. Refer Appendix B. for details. D.3 Transmission Delay D.3.1 RF Processing Delay It takes 30msec approximately for a Parani-SD to complete the data transmission to the other side Bluetooth device.
