BLE Advertisements stop too soon to be able to perform the bluetooth sample peripheral_cts_client test procedure

[Burt]

After I reset the kit (custom equivalent to nRF52DK) it advertises, and I can connect from the BLE Standalone App on my Windows computer. But it only advertises for a short period of time. By the time I go through the steps of the test procedure and get to step 9, the kit is no longer advertising and I cannot connect.

If it advertised forever, I'd probably have battery problems. But the current configuration seems to advertise for such a short period of time I cannot do anything. I am using SDK v2.5.0 currently. Thanks.

Okay, I learned that the sample is using limited discoverable mode with a default CONFIG_BT_LIM_ADV_TIMEOUT of 30 seconds. Perhaps I should take that as a signal that I am too slow, but I will bump up the timeout to 60 seconds and try again!
