02 TA 1.2. Product Specification Parani-SD1000U Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR Class 1 Bluetooth Interface Working distance: Dipole Antenna - Dipole Antenna 150 meters Dipole Antenna - Dipole Antenna 200 meters Dipole Antenna - Dipole Antenna 300 meters Configuration ParaniWIN, Modem AT command set Firmware Update ParaniUpdater Diagnostic LED Mode, Connect, Serial Rx/Tx Environmental Operating temperature: -20 ~ 70 oC Storage temperature: -40 ~ 85 oC Humidity : 90% (Non-condensing) Physical properties - Dimension (L x W x H) 68 x 22 x 11.5 (mm) - Weight 14g Warranty 3-year limited warranty 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.

02 TA 2. Getting Started 2.1. USB Driver Installation In case the USB interface is used for the communication between the development board and the computer, the corresponding software driver needs to be installed on the computer. Windows XP and later versions already include the USB driver. When Windows asks for the location of the USB driver, you can select the option to “install the software automatically” as shown in Figure 2-7. You can also choose to install the driver from the CD included if the driver is not installed correctly for some reason. Figure 2-1 USB Driver Installation

02 TA 2.2. Operation Modes In addition to the serial port configurations the SD1000U also requires some settings for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of SD1000U, 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. A Bluetooth connection is always made by a pair of master and slave devices. A slave can be in two modes, Inquiry Scan or Page Scan mode. Inquiry Scan mode is waiting for a packet of inquiry from other Bluetooth device and Page Scan mode is waiting for a packet of connection from other Bluetooth device. Every Bluetooth device has its unique address, called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is composed of 12 hexa-decimal numbers. SD1000U has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as illustrated in next section. Table 2-1 SD1000U Operation Modes Mode Description Mode0 In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and SD1000U is just waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-SD1000 U in mode0. User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-SD1000 in this mode. SD1000U must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands. The factory default is set to Mode0. Mode1 SD1000U tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device. SD1000U in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device. SD1000U always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which SD1000U has connected last. When Parani-SD1000 is initially used or after hardware reset, there is no BD address stored in SD1000U. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made after SD1000U succeeds to connect to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, SD1000U will try to connect automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset. SD1000U in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices. Mode2 SD1000U is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device. SD1000U in Mode2 is to be a slave and waiting for the connection only from the last connected Bluetooth device. Just like Mode1, if there is no BD address stored in SD1000U, the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once changed to Mode2, SD1000U will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset. SD1000U in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the last connected device. Mode3 SD1000U is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the SD1000U is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices. 2.3. LED Indicators Serial-Tx and Serial-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.

02 TA Table 2-2 The SD1000U LED Indicators Indicator Mode LED Connect LED Mode 0 Green ┏━━━━━ Mode 1 Green (every 1 sec) ┏┓ Mode 2 Green (every 3 sec) ┏┰┓ Mode 3 Green (every 3 sec) ┏┰┰┓ Connected Green (every 1 sec) ┏┓ 2.4. Serial Ports The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows. Table 2-3 The SD1000U Serial Port Settings Serial Port Settings Values Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600 Data bite 8 Parity No parity, Even parity, Odd parity Stop bit 1, 2 Hardware Flow Control Use, No Use The values in box are the factory defaults. The flow control setting is configurable only through dip switch. 2.5. Data Bit SD1000U supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit and even/odd parity, use SD 8 data bit and none parity. At this time, master and slave are Parani-SD, Parani-ESD or Parani-MSP series. But 7 data bit and none parity is not support. 2.6. Hardware Flow Control SD1000U plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth device. This data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of SD1000U and sent repeatedly until the transmission is completed packet by packet. When the radio transmission condition is not good enough to send data promptly, it can cause a transmission delay. If the host sends more data when the buffer is full, buffer overflow will make SD1000U malfunction consequently. In order to prevent this buffer overflow, SD1000U works as follows. When using hardware flow control, SD1000U disables RTS so that it stops receiving any further data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be re-enabled again to begin receiving data from the host when the buffer has created more room for more data.

02 TA When hardware flow control is not being used, the SD1000U clears the buffer to secure room for the next data when the buffer becomes full. This can mean a loss of data may occur. As the transmission data becomes large, the possibility of data loss becomes greater. For large data transmissions, the use of hardware flow control is highly recommended. 2.7. 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. 2.8. Dipswitch With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, baud rate and hardware flow control can be set. Upper 3 dipswitches are used for setting the baud rate, and bottom dipswitch is used for setting hardware flow control option. If the baud rate needs to a baud rate not shown below, ParaniWIN or terminal program should be used to set these speeds. To set a baud rate not shown below the dipswitches should be in the S/W Config setting. When in the S/W Config setting the baud rate will go back to 9600 as default. Table 2-4 Baud rate Settings by Dipswitches 2400 4800 9600 19.2K 38.4K 57.6K 115.2K S/W Config baud rate Table 2-5 Hardware Flow Control Settings by Dipswitches No Use Use Hardware Flow Control Handshaking * Note: You cannot set the SD1000U to a Baud rate of 1200 and 230K by way of the Dipswitch. If you want to use them, to set these speeds, please configure the dipswitch to S/W Config setting and use ParaniWIN or AT commands. Please refer to ParaniWIN and Appendix 0 AT+UARTCONFIG, Baud rate,Paraty,Stopbit.

02 TA 2.9. Pairing Button SD1000U provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without a PC to make an automatic connection between two SD1000Us. In this example we will refer to the two SD1000Us 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. Press the Pairing Button of SD2 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds. Now press again the Pairing Button for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks every second. Step 4. Wait for SD1 & SD2 to connect to each other until the Connect LED’s of SD1 and SD2 blink every 1 second. It takes about 10 seconds to make a connection. If there are many Bluetooth devices nearby, it may take longer. Step 5. Turn SD1 off and on. Mode LED blinks twice in green every 3 seconds. Step 6. Turn SD2 off and on. Mode LED blinks in green every second. Step 7. Now SD1 and SD2 are configured to make automatic connection to each other, whenever they are powered on. Using a pair of SD1000U in this fashion is similar to that of using a wireless serial cable. * Note: When using the pairing buttons, the Command Response option will be deactivated automatically. The SD1000U will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and Disconnect. Table 2-6 Pairing Process by Pairing Button SD1 Status LED SD2 Status LED 1.

Software and Utility This configuration software and utility for firmware update is included with the product, which also can be downloaded from http://www.sena.com Table 2-8 Configuration Software Software Purpose Operating System ParaniWIN Configuration MS Windows 98SE or Higher ParaniMultiWizard Multi Configuration MS Windows 98SE or Higher ParaniUpdater Firmware Update MS Windows 98SE or Higher 2.11. ParaniWIN ParaniWIN is a program that runs on Microsoft Windows for the configuration of SD1000U. Install ParaniWIN on your computer. Plug a SD1000U into the serial port of the computer and turn on the power. Run ParaniWIN. Figure 2-1 Serial Port Setting Set each option properly and click [Confirm]. If the settings of the SD1000U are different from the ParaniWin, an error message will pop up. If the SD1000U is in the status of connection, warning message will pop up. Then the current connection can be cancelled by [Disconnect] button on the main window.

02 TA Figure 2-3 Main Window Figure 2-4 Information Window Serial port settings can be changed by <Start Configuration> and <ParaniWIN Configuration> of ParaniWIN in the menu bar at upper left corner of the window without re-running the ParaniWIN program.

02 TA Figure 2-5 Menu Bar at Upper Left corner of ParaniWIN When the ParaniWin software is able to access the SD1000U 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 RS232 can be configured as well. Security option also can be configured in this window. Figure 2-6 Device Setting Window SD1000U supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you enable the Authentication option, you must also enter a Pin Code value. If the authentication is enabled, the connection, between the Master and Slave device must share the same Pin Code. In case that SD1000U connects to another Bluetooth device, that requires authentication, you must know the other device’s Pin Code. In general, most Bluetooth devices have a pincode of 1234 or 0000. If you check Encryption option, the SD1000U will encrypt packets and sent to the device. The Encryption options works well in case that only one of the devices between Master and Slave use the Encryption option.

02 TA SD1000U 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 SD1000U, 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. Click [Apply] button to apply any changes made to the SD1000U. Connection(out) icon will show the following window to search and connect other Bluetooth devices. Figure 2-7 Connection (out) Window Click [Search] button to search nearby Bluetooth devices. Once several Bluetooth devices has been found, select one of the devices and click the [Connect] button. The selected Bluetooth device must be discoverable and connectable. Click [Disconnect] button to cancel the connection. After the connection has been established, you will be able to test signal strength by pushing the START button.

02 TA 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 SD1000U 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 you close the ParaniWIN Window without pushing the STOP button, you must restart SD1000U to terminate the test. Connection(in) icon will show the following window, which enables the SD1000U to wait for a connection from another Bluetooth device. If the waiting time is set to 0, SD1000U will continually wait for connection until [Cancel] button is clicked.

02 TA Figure 2-9 Connection (in) Window 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 SD1000Us as SD1 and SD2 respectively. To use this menu, please do the following:

02 TA 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. The flow control setting can be changed only through dip switch. Step 3. Disconnect SD2, once again connect SD1 and then push the Finish button. The pairing configuration should be completed. Make sure that each SD1000U’s connect LED is on. At this point, when both SD1000U’s restart the connection will be established automatically. 2.12. Parani Multi Wizard Parani Multi Wizard is the software tool for multiple connection mode configurations of the Parani-SD and Parani-ESD products. Figure 2-11 Parani Multi Wizard Window Parani Multi Wizard supports the Wizard mode and the Manual mode. The Wizard mode provide the user step-by-step instructions for multiple mode configurations. To run the Wizard mode, select “Multiple connection mode setting” and “1:N setting”, press “Start” button and follow the instructions.

02 TA Figure 2-12 Manual Setting Window In the Manual mode, all settings for the multiple connection mode can be configured in one window. If a Use field is unchecked or a slave address is entered as 000000000000, it is excluded from the Slave settings. The Auto Fill button will load the existing multiple connection mode settings from the Parani-SD/ESD connected, which can be useful when only some parts of the settings are changed. If the AT Command Response Disable check box is checked on, the AT command responses such as OK, ERROR, CONNECT, DISCONNECT are suppressed. 2.13. ParaniUpdater SD1000U supports firmware updates. You can download new firmware images for the SD1000U at http://www.sena.com. With the ParaniUpdater, you can update the firmware of SD1000U by selecting the firmware image file and pushing Start button. * Note: DO NOT power off SD1000U while the firmware update is progressing, this may damage the SD1000U.

If you are using Windows 98SE or higher version of Windows, HyperTerminal program is included as part of the operating system. Parani-SD1000 provides some extended AT commands for configuration of the SD1000U. This manual will explain the method using HyperTerminal. If you need to install HyperTerminal, click start>setting>control panel>add/remove programs. For more precise details on HyperTerminal installations, please refer to Microsoft Windows Help section. . Figure 2-14 HyperTerminal

02 TA Attach SD1000U to serial port of host computer and power on the SD1000U. Check Mode LED. (See 3.2) 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 SD1000U. Then launch HyperTerminal, it can usually be found in start >programs >accessories >communication >HyperTerminal. Select the Serial port that SD1000U 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 SD1000U’s serial settings. To view the AT commands that are being typed, you will need to enable the local echo option. Go to File->Properties->Settings->ASCII setup and select the “Echo typed characters locally” option. For expanded AT commands, please refer to Appendix A. AT commands. Example of AT commands:

02 TA 3. Multiple Connection Mode 3.1. Overview SD1000U supports multiple connections up to 4 slave units. There are two types of multiple connection modes: Multi-Drop Mode and Node Switching Mode. Figure 3-1 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 3-1. Figure 3-2 Node Switching Mode In Node Switching Mode, the master unit maintains multiple connections with maximum 4 slave units but only one connection with one slave unit is active and data is transferred as shown in Figure 3-2. Active slave is selected by AT commands. O K CONNECT 000195000001 Reset 31

02 TA 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.

If S-registers have available slaves’ address, AUTO CONNECT message will be displayed following corresponding TASK. 101 with stub antenna at+btinfo? 00

02 TA 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? It shows the current mode, the connection status and the BD addresses of slaves. 3.3.3. ATHx, ATHbdaddr Using the ATH command, connections with all slaves or only connections with specific slaves can be disconnected selectively Table 3-3 ATH ATH Disconnect all the slaves. ATHx (ATH1, ATH2, ATH3, ATH4) Disconnect the slave which belongs to the TASK x. ATHbdaddr (ATH000195000001) Disconnect the slave with specified BD address. 3.3.4. ATOx, ATObdaddr Using the ATO command, the communication status with the last active slave or a specific slave can be set to online (only in Node Switching Mode). Table 3-4 ATO ATO Communicate with the slave recently communicated. ATOx (ATO1, ATO2, ATO3, ATO4) Communicate with the slave which belongs to the TASK x. ATObdaddr (ATO000195000001) Communicate with the slave with specified BDaddress. ting +++ OK ATO1 – Comm unic atin g with #1 Slave

02 TA 3.4. Notes When large data exchange occurs in Multi-drop mode without flow-control enabled, the master unit may experience data loss. It may also experience occasional disconnections and/or system rebooting especially when bi-directional communication happens. It is strongly recommended to perform extensive performance test before any real world field applications. The master unit would try to connect all slave units specified by S-register 46, 54, 55 and 56. If non-existing or inactive slave addresses are entered in these S-registers, the overall performance will degrade due to frequent connection trials to non-existing/inactive slaves. It may also force disconnections for overall performance and outputs disconnect messages repeatedly. Node-switching mode provides nearly equivalent performance as single connection mode. It is always recommended to use flow-control for both of Multi-Drop Mode and Node Switching Mode.
