1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
Parani-SD1000U is a terminal device for wireless serial communication using Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
technology that is an international standard of short range wireless communications. Parani-SD1000U
can communicate with other Bluetooth devices; user may connect other Bluetooth devices that
support the Serial Port Profile.
The working distance of SD1000U with default antenna is 100m
SD1000U has a compact design, which allows it to be placed conveniently into various devices or
equipment. Its detachable antenna has the ability to optimize the quality and distance of wireless
communications.
SD1000U supports FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), which is a technique, native to
Bluetooth that allows the SD1000U minimize radio interference while decreasing the likelihood of over-
air hijacking. SD1000U also supports authentication and Bluetooth data encryption.
SD1000U can be configured and controlled by a set of AT commands. Users can easily configure
SD1000U on a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, and configure for wireless communication
without modifying user’s existing serial communication program. User friendly ParaniWIN can also be
used for easy setup on Microsoft Windows.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

3.4. 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.
