MTU Exchange - Not receiving a rsp

Hi Nordic,

I am working on a NRF52 DK with the example code ble_app_interactive. I am using the NRF52 DK as a central and trying to connect to a peripheral hearing aid. My problem is that when I try to connect to the hearing aid, I get Connected and then immediately Disconnected with the error code 0x3E, as seen on the log:

I have an ellisys sniffer, and in the trace, I can see that the Connection Indication Packet is send, and then an ATT Exchange MTU Request Packet is send, but I think that the peripheral I'm requesting the MTU from, can't send MTU before it is paired. The trace is shown below:

20181207_1137nordicconnectHIerror.btt

I also have a sniffer on a connection from a mobile to the same peripheral, using the nrf connect app, and this works without problem, this is the trace:

20181207_1158mobilconnectHI.btt

If it is the problem with that the peripheral can't send MTU before it is paired, can I change that sequence in my progam, so that it doesn't make MTU exchange at that point or maybe this isn't the problem?
