Terminal Only Mode 2
When restarted, if the Brailliant is not already connected to a computer that is running a
screen reader, the braille display will show “Braille Terminal”.
Brailliant will now be an active braille display awaiting a connection from either USB or
Bluetooth. See below for further details on establishing a connection with your preferred
method.
Connecting with USB
Priority connection will always be on the USB port. Plugging in a USB cable that is
connected to your host computer running a screen reader should seamlessly connect your
brailliant. If, for whatever reason, you do not immediately get braille feedback, ensure the
screen reader is set up accordingly.
Connecting with Bluetooth
To establish a Bluetooth connection, disconnect the USB-C connection unless you're
charging the device from a plug socket. Please note that Bluetooth functionality will not be
active when connected to a computer, as USB takes precedence.
If you've previously established a Bluetooth connection in standard mode (not in terminal-
only mode), that connection will remain active. However, if there were multiple Bluetooth
connections, only one will be retained, with no specific logic governing which one is kept.
Given the limitation of only one Bluetooth connection, you'll need to remove the current
Bluetooth connection to pair a new device. This can be accomplished either from the host
device or within the Brailliant settings.
If there are no existing pairings, proceed to the host device and search for the Brailliant BI X
under Bluetooth Discover. No specific action is required from the Brailliant BI X, as it will
automatically be discoverable.
Accessing the settings
When in terminal-only mode, you will have access to a limited number of settings. To
access the settings, press and hold the home button for 3 seconds. To exit the settings
menu, press and hold the Home button again for 3 seconds.
