Terminal Only Mode 1
Brailliant BI 40X Knowledge Levels
Terminal Only mode
Version 2.2 made it possible to convert your Brailliant BI X into a fully Terminal mode-only
state. Doing so will remove all internal applications and multiple terminal connections.
Terminal-only mode will limit you to 1 USB connection and 1 Bluetooth connection. This
mode is ideal for anyone wanting to use their Brailliant BI X as a braille display or find that
having standalone applications is not being utilised or is too complex for the user. This guide
will walk you through all there is to know about the terminal-only mode.
To enable this mode, you will need to start up in the diagnostic menu. Refer to the “Access
the diagnostic menu” if you require guidance on this.
Once in the diagnostic menu, use the Next thumb
key to navigate to the item called “Terminal only
mode xxx”, where xxx will be the status of on or
off.
To toggle between on and off, press the Enter key
when on this item.
Once set, select the close item, and Brailliant will restart in a terminal-only mode.
