Hello!

Where and how can I modify the configuration file to close the connection after sending the command.

This is required by some devices for correct operation when you press and hold. (Volume, channels, right, left, up, down ...)

For example, satellite receivers Fortis

I’m talking about setting up a connection after sending a command in order to immediately send another. Some devices require this when managing over IP. For example, my satellite tuner. If you do not close the connection when each command is scrolled through a list of channels or a guide, the tuner starts to freeze and slow down until the scrolling stops.
