Hi Joe,

You will need to enable notifications and/or indications by writing to the remote device's Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor (CCCD) for the relevant Characteristic, setting a "1" in the relevant bits.

Before that of course, you will have to discover the service, characteristic and descriptors that are of interest to you, so the procedure would be a sequence of the following in the Message Sequence Chart procedures:

GATTC Primary Service Discovery GATTC Characteristic Discovery GATTC Descriptor Discovery GATTC Characteristic or Descriptor Value Write

You can find example code in the SDK that implements this is ble_ans_c.c (see function cccd_configure() )

Hope that helps.
