Advice: If you need to do data communication via RS232 port, you do not need to configure Network settings.
3.5 Reset/Reboot/Quit Entering no. 5, Parani100 RESET, in the main menu, restores all factory Default value settings. REBOOT restarts Parani100 for new configuration application. QUIT instantly aborts current processing. 4. Configuration Once users are finished configuring network settings using serial console. Users need to select the operation mode of Parani100. Following three (3) ways can be used for selection of operation mode: 1. Via Parani100 configuration software 2. Via Telnet (Control port) 3.
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 These settings for direct communication only with Parani100 connected. 4.1.2 Log in Parani100 software For easier configuration and monitoring on a specific Parani100, which has been installed locally or remotely, users may use Parani100 software. Start Parani100 software, and press “Search” button on the left side. Please select one Parani100 you would like to access and press “Connect” button.
You will need to enter UserID/Password: admin/11111 4.1.3 Operation Mode Parani100 may be set to different type of modes, so users may have to select one for its own application. There are 6 types of modes: Server, Client, Vertex, Repeater, Serial Hub, and RS232.
• Operation Mode This shows current type of Mode. •Mode Change Users may change and select the type of Operation. •Search Users may search Parani100 on the network. Note: While Bluetooth devices are connected to Parani100, mode change is not possible. A) Server Mode In Sever Mode, Parani100 will operate as a Server on the network. Host PC will connect to Parani100 via TCP/IP Ethernet and Parani100 will recieve the connection. After connection, full duplexing is possible.
•Default Data Port If unregistered device tries to connect to Parani100, Parani100 will assign the port number consecutively from Default Data port. •KeepAlive Timeout When TCP connection is stopped unexpectedly (Ex. Power off of Host PC), Parani100 will request NULL during KeepAlive Timeout (second). If there is no response during this Timeout, TCP connection will be finished. •Do not disconnect TCP socket In Server Mode, each TCP connection and Bluetooth connection will be matched as point-to-point.
Select “Advanced Configuration” button. Here, users may configure which Bluetooth device will connect to which Host, as they need. Bluetooth device “00:0B:53:16:12:C7” will connect to Host “192.168.20.251”, port no. 5002. Bluetooth device “00:0B:53:16:12:74”will connect to Host “192.168.20.252”, port no. 5004. Bluetooth devices, which are not configured to connect to a specific Host, will connect to Default Host in Host information.
•Host Port Number For Server Host port no. entry •Re-connect automatically if link is lost. For Host connect retry, if failed. Retry frequency is set in the preceding function. •Try to Connect to Server every [] ms When Parani100 fails to open a data channel connecting to Host, enter the connection retry frequency. Entering 0 [zero] obtains retry abort. C) Vertex Mode Parani100 Vertex Mode avails Wireless RS485 multidrop service when assigned at this site.
E) Serial Hub Mode Users may transmit/receive data via Parani100 in Serial Hub mode (Serial Hub). Serial Hub will deliver the data from a Bluetooth device to another connected Bluetooth device. Users may configure the Parani100’s Serial Hub settings in the Advanced Configuration section of the Parani100 software. •Point-to-Point - Select the “Serial Hub Mode” and click on the Apply button. - Next, to configure Serial Hub mode setting, click the Advanced Configuration button.
- Select “Point-to-Point” radio button and press Start Button. - Then make a connection from each Parani10 to the Parani100. You will have two Parani10s, and the Parani100 will act as a Serial Hub to expand the range.
- At first, the Parani10 that you connected will be shown in the FROM column and then Parani10 that you connected to Parani100 will be shown in the TO column like below. (Using Parani100 manager) - Press [Stop] button and [Done] button. - Press [Disconnect] button in the connection window of Parani10 Manager.
- Please view the Device Setting window in the Parani10 Manager and set operation mode as MODE1 as shown below.
- By setting Two Parani10’s to MODE 1, this will allow the Parani10’s to communicate via Serial Hub Parani100 without having to manually connect to the Parani100 each time the Parani10 is powered on. •Multi-drop A Multi-drop connection is when one Master Bluetooth device needs to communicate with multiple Slave Bluetooth devices. First connected Bluetooth device act as a Master, any device connected after the master will act as a Slave.
units. If one of the Parani10 units transmit data, only Parani100 serial port will receive that data. In the RS232 Mode, Parani100 transmits the serial port data to all of the Parani10 units at the same time. Consequently, if some slaves transmit data to parani100 at the same time then serial data to the Parani100 will be blended together.
i) Set the serial configuration of Parani100 As RS232 port has been configured to be used as a Configuration port, which allows users to access the configuration utility of the Parani100. When the Parani100 is set to RS232 Mode, users will need to change the Switch on the left side of Parani100 to the Data position to allow for proper data communication to occur. - Login the console of Parani100 (Default: 115200-N-8-1-Flowcontrol None) - Select menu #4.
