connection - Mimicking a bluetooth disconnection

    I've written a program to control a bluetooth device. I'm trying to test cases when the bluetooth disconnects, i.e. if its out of range.

    Physically taking the device out of range is one possibility, but its quite cumbersome and I have to go outside my office to achieve this.

    What can I do to trigger a disconnection? Is there, for example, an interferer I can setup, say with an Android phone, that would make the connection drop? Or limit the Bluetooth transmit power? Any other possibilities?

    Right-click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and pick Set up new device..., then hit the Forward button. Put the phone in discoverable/announce state. Pick the device when it shows up. The computer will give you a PIN to enter. Enter said PIN into the phone. Phone is now paired with the computer.
