what can cause a BLE_GAP_EVT_TIMEOUT?

Hi

i saw this question already in another thread, but did not get an answer. Is there a list of cases in which this timeout is generated?

few places where I can think this could happen

1) connection request sent but no response from peer (timeout) 
2) security request sent but no response from peer (timeout)  
3) connection established but peer not responding

Hi Aryan,

1. connection request: that cannot happen in an S110 device I guess?
2. if I do not use security, this cannot happen?
3. can this happen in a slave device? how should I handle this? is this just for information? will I also get a BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event?

1. right
2. right
3. yes this can happen in slave and you should get BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED after the timeout. I have to investigate more the difference in time between timeout event and disconnected event in this case

It can also happen if the specified advertisement timeout is reached.
