It is quite hard to understand exactly what you're trying to ask, but I've posted a separate answer. If this doesn't answer your question, it would have been useful if you could elaborate a bit on what you need to know and what you try to achieve.

It's a little unclear to me what you actually want to achive, but as Sébastien correctly points out, most SDK examples uses a GPIO to wake up from system off.

However, if you want to wake up without a GPIO (or reset), you can not use the system off mode, and instead you should rely on using the regular WFI mode, by using for example sd_app_event_wait(). This will enable you to wake up on for example RTC events or similar.

Every BLE examples in the SDK 4.2 have the behaviour you expect. The device switch in system_off mode after the adertising timeout.

Therefore, you cannot be disconnected until a voluntary disconnection from the connected device.

Just before switch off, a GPIO pin is defined to be able to wake up the chip. By wake up. I mean do a reset : the main function will be executed.

Have a look in the BLE examples for more information.
