https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/39159/pair-with-peripheral-and-continue-scanningGood afternoon, I had a question regarding scanning and pairing. Is it possible for a peripheral device to send scan requests after its been paired? or does the device have to be a central device for it to pair and send scan requests concurrently?
