Infinitive supervision timeout?

[rolandash]

Hi,

For BLE softdevice, I am wondering if it is possible to set connection supervision timeout to infinitive, which means the connection will never be considered lost? 

I know that in core spec the maximum value for it is 32s, but I had the impression that I saw some where in this forum mentioned it can be set to infinitive by set this parameter to 0, however I seems can not find that post anymore... 

So can yo kindly confirm this if my memory is wrong or not?

thank you.

Hello,

I don't recall seeing any discussions about this, unfortunately. Infinite timeout is not allowed by the specification, as you say. It would make it impossible to know if a link may have been lost . Also, it would cause the master and slave to get out of sync with each other after a while, thus making it difficult to start up communication again.

thank you Vidar Berg for the confirmation.
