3.6.1. ParaniWIN
ParaniWIN is a program that runs on Microsoft Windows for the configuration of Parani-BCD110V3.
Before configuring Parani-BCD110V3 with ParaniWIN, user needs to know Bluetooth connection
modes and Parani-BCD110V3 operation modes as following.
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. There are two modes in slave,
Inquiry Scan or Page Scan mode. It can be in both or either of them. It waits for a packet of
inquiry from other Bluetooth device in Inquiry Scan mode and waits for a packet of connection
from other Bluetooth device in Page Scan mode. Every Bluetooth device has its unique address,
called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is composed of 12 hexa-decimal numbers.
To utilize these two Bluetooth connection mode efficiently, Parani-BCD110V3 supports four
operation modes as in table 3-3.
Table 3-3 The Parani-BCD110V3 Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0 Parani-BCD110V3 is directly controlled by AT commands.
Parani-BCD110V3 does not anything when power on or software reset and waits for AT
command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-BCD110V3 in mode0. User
can change the configuration parameters and perform functions such as search and
connection through AT commands in this mode. Parani-BCD110V3 must be in Mode0,
when it is directly configured or controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1 Parani-BCD110V3 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-BCD110V3 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected
Bluetooth device in SPP and I/O profile. It also tries the SCO connection after SPP
connection is established with SCO Enable (ATS84) enabled. Unlike SPP, I/O and SCO
connection is available only in single connection mode.
If the last connected Bluetooth device in SPP profile is different from the last connected
Bluetooth device in I/O profile, Parani-BCD110V3 tries to connect to not the latter but the
former in both SPP and I/O profile.
Once Parani-BCD110V3 successfully connects to the target device in Mode0, it is possible
to change the operation mode to Mode1 from Mode0. Parani-BCD110V3 stores the BD
