I&amp;#39;m using SDK12.2.0, S130 ver2.0.1, nRF51822AC.
As I know SDK12.2.0 can conenct 8 peripherals at the same time when it is Central mode. 
 I want to use it as central and peripheral at the same time. 
 Q1. Is it possible to use central and peripheral</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 05 Jan 2017 23:49:10 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/18755/how-many-devices-can-i-connect" /><item><title>RE: How many devices can i connect?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/72412?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jan 2017 23:49:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:734628bb-67f6-4b0a-899a-a1bdcff3831e</guid><dc:creator>roger.k</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How many devices can i connect?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/72411?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jan 2017 08:57:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b2dbdec0-9a4b-4049-93cf-c1f503a83b77</guid><dc:creator>J&amp;#248;rgen Holmefjord</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s130.sds/dita/softdevices/s130/s130sds.html?cp=3_7_2_0"&gt;S130 SoftDevice Specifications&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concurrent Central, Observer, Peripheral, and Broadcaster roles with up to eight concurrent connections along with one observer and one broadcaster&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SoftDevice can be configured with one connections as a Peripheral and up to eight connections as a Central. The SoftDevice supports running one Advertiser or Broadcaster and one Scanner or Observer concurrently with the BLE connections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, to answer your questions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yes, you can have central and periperal role at the same time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With one connection as peripheral, you can have 7 connections as central, max 8 connections in total.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jørgen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
