About Promi-MSP™ Promi-MSP™ is a Bluetooth-wireless multiple serial communications port for minimum 7 to maximum 14 devices; an option to conventional multi-serial ports.
With Promi-SD™ installed at RS-232 interfaced terminals, Promi-MSP™ affords dependable convenience for a variety of serial communications environments. Refer to the figure 1.1. below: Promi-MSP™ is a wireless multi-serial Bluetooth technology-based server. Bluetooth SIG qualified protocol stack assures standardized, secure and scaleable serial communications. Promi-MSP™ identification of data, per each additional unique Bluetooth SPP enabled device address, prevents data jam. Bluetooth’s 2.

Ethernet/RS232C com. supported Supported Networks Built-in Bluetooth HTTP / FTP / Telnet / IP- 1 USB A-type port sharing(NAT) / DHCP /PPP for USB exention dongle server (Max. 14 Bluetooth links) * Promi-MSP101 was phased out as of August, 2004.
1.1 External View Promi-MSP 102(a)/(b) external view ① DIP Switch Users may select the way of data communication with Host. Default setting is TCP/IP communication using no. ④ RJ45 marked EXT, but if users need, data communication by no. ③ RS232 Interface marked “IOIOI” is also possible. If DIP switch is on the side of drawing , Promi-MSP communicates with Host via Ethernet line (TCP/IP). If users want to use RS232 com. please change the direction of switch to the other way.
This port can be used for both Configuration of Promi-MSP and Data communication with Host. ④ RJ45 marked EXT.: For connection to Host or HUB devices. For connection to PC, use a Crossed cable; for connection to HUB, use Straight Ethernet cable. ⑤ RJ45 marked INT.: For HUB port connection to another Promi-MSP™. This is for expansion of connections more than 14. ⑥ USB Extension Port: For expanding multi-connection beyond 7 devices.

How to configure via Telnet or Web brouser will be introduced in Appendix. 3.
3.1.2 Log in Promi-MSP software For easier configuration and monitoring on a specific Promi-MSP, which has been installed locally or remotely, users may use Promi-MSP software. Start Promi-MSP software, and press “Search MSP device” button on the left side. Please select one Promi-MSP you would like to access and press “Connect” button.” Promi-MSP™ Installation Guide ver. 2.0 www.initium.co.
You will need to enter UserID/Password: admin/11111 3.1.2 Operation Mode Promi-MSP may be set to different type of Mode, so users may select one for its own implementation. There are 6 types of Mode: Server, Client, Vertex, Repeater, Serial Hub, and RS232. (RS232 Mode will be provided to Promi-MSP102 only) MSP Operation Mode This shows current type of Mode. Promi-MSP™ Installation Guide ver. 2.0 www.initium.co.
Mode Change Users may change and select the type of Operation mode. Search Promi-MSP Users may search Promi-MSP on the network. *Note: While Bluetooth devices are connected to Promi-MSP, mode change is not possible. a) Server Mode In Sever Mode, Promi-MSP will operate as a Server on the network. Host PC will connect to Promi-MSP via TCP/IP Ethernet, and Promi-MSP get the connection. After connection, full duplexing is possible.
If unregistered device tries to connect to Promi-MSP, Promi-MSP will assign the port number consecutively from Defalt Data port. KeepAlive Timeout When TCP connection is stopped unexpectedly (Ex. Power off of Host PC), Promi-MSP 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:53:20:00:7E” will connect to Host “192.168.1.118”, port no. 5002. Bluetooth device “00:0B:53:20:00:74” will connect to Host “192.168.1.200”, port no. 5004. Bluetooth devices, which are not configured to connect to a specific Host, will connect to Default Host in Host information.
Try to Connect to Server every [ ] ms When Promi-MSP™ fails to open a data channel connecting to Host, enter the connection retry frequency. Entering 0 [zero] obtains retry abort. c) Vertex Mode Promi-MSP™ Vertex Mode avails Wireless RS485 multidrop service when assigned at this site. <그림 0-2> Vertex 모드 설정 Vertex Port For Promi-MSP™ Vertex port no. entry. Max Number of Connections For entering the number of Hosts connectable to Promi-MSP™.
Users may transmit/receive data via Promi-MSP in Serial Hub mode (Serial Hub). Serial Hub will deliver the data from a Bluetooth device to the other connected Bluetooth device. Users may configure the Bluetooth devices to use the Serial Hub in Advanced Configuration of Promi-MSP software. Point-to-Point - Press Start Button. - Then make connectrion from each Promi-SD to this Promi-MSP. You will have two Pormi-SDs, and this Promi-MSP will act as a Serial Hub to expand the range.
f) RS232 Mode Available only with Promi-MSP102. In RS232 Mode, Promi-MSP may communicate with other Bluetooth device via RS232 serial cable. As RS232 port has been configured to be used as Configuration as factory setting, users need to change the Switch on the left side of Promi-MSP to Data communication.

4. COM port Redirector 4.1 COM port redirecotr NOTE: INITIUM provides VirtualCOM™ cost-free bundled with Promi-MSP™. Serial/IP™ requires additional cost. 4.1.1 Virtual COM Serial applications, communicating with devices directly through serial lines, need to communicate with serial Servers through networks. The HelloDevice VirtualCOM program enables this necessity.
If system the fails to run HelloDevice VirtualCOM at start-up or if the HelloDevice VirtualCOM is closed by selecting [Exit] menu at the tray, run the HelloDevice VirtualCOM manually by clicking short-cut [HelloDevice VirtualCOM / Run HelloDevice VirtualCOM]. [ Short-cut ] Run the HelloDevice VirtualCOM program so the serial application opens the virtual COM port and communicates with the serial server.
If the HelloDevice VirtualCOM is closed, activate it. [ HelloDevice VirtualCOM Tray Icon Menu ] Select [Configure] from the tray icon menu or double click the tray icon to open the [HelloDevice VirtualCOM] window. [ HelloDevice VirtualCOM window ] Selecting / Deselecting Virtual COM Port Open the [Create/Delete Port Dialog] dialog box by clicking [Port Select] button on the [HelloDevice VirtualCOM] window. [ Create / Delete Port Dialog ] Check the COM port for selection.
Uncheck the COM port to delete. • COM port, displaying [Not Connected serial App.] in the [remark] column, can be deleted. • COM port, displaying [Connected serial App.] at [remark] column, cannot be deleted; it is already connected to a serial application. Click [OK] button. Accordingly, COM ports are selected or deleted. [ HelloDevice VirtualCOM window after selecting / deleting COM port ] Setting the Properties of Virtual COM Port Check the COM port to set properties.
the last virtual COM port to create. This helps avoid rebooting when the virtual COM port is set. • Window NT series: By clicking [Set] button, the virtual COM port is created. • To change properties of the virtual COM port, set properties and click the [Set] button. Properties are set without rebooting Windows 9X or Windows NT series. Monitoring Virtual COM Port [TD] indicates that the serial application is sending data to the serial server.
5.1.2 Serial/IP Serial/IP is a serial port emulator enabling unmodified user TCP/IP socket communications Host Serial application program use. Users may download a 30day-trial version from http://www.tacticalsoftware.com after filling out simple forms for testing. INITIUM provides licensed Serial/IP programs to customers purchasing Promi-MSP™. The trial version Serial/IP does not require Serial Number for installation. Promi-MSP™ Fig. 4.1.
