How do I terminate a connection
to a device in HyperTerminal
using a BL-521/730, 819 & 830?
Turn the power off on one device and then the other device will be configurable.
If you do not do this then the menu in HyperTerminal will be unresponsive as
the connection will be still present, also, simply power cycling a device will not
terminate the connection.
Once a device is configurable:
You can set the device as a client or server, so that both devices are either
clients or servers i.e. enter svr=0 to set a device as client or svr=1 to set as
server.
Be careful that another device cannot pair with your devices, if you are using
security mode 2 or higher than this will not be possible unless the other device
is using the same pin number.
If you type delpart this will delete the partner device from the connection and
will allow a new partner device to be entered.
