nRF51822 - Connect without advertising

[Joe Merten]

In short:

• Is it possible to connect a nRF51822 s110 peripheral from a central without the need for sending advertising packets (by peripheral)?
• If (hopefully) yes, what's the required steps (shure, the central must know the MAC)?

A stupid try with a Nordic example, were I'd just removed the startAdvertising() at the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event won't work.

Is it possible to stop adverstising and keep the connection established after pairing?

As soon as Connection is established (GAP Peripheral device receives CONNECT_REQ packet) advertising is over. If device can and wants to advertise even it runs GAP Peripheral connection link it would need to restart it explicitly. If you experience some problems after pairing (= if your devices are disconnecting unexpectedly) or anything else you will need to give us more details. And also never reply to 3-year-old question, start new one (unless you find in search answer in one of 20 thousand Q&S - which is actually very likely;)
