 BLE Application on nRF52840 (pca10056) development board is being developed. 
 Application stopped the advertising to make device non-discoverable. 
 After that trying to connect the non-discoverable device with Android app through using MAC address</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2019 14:06:58 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/45079/connection-issue-with-non-discoverable-device" /><item><title>RE: Connection issue with Non-Discoverable Device</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/177371?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2019 14:06:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8c568aee-066b-4466-99cd-6971fa3cb69a</guid><dc:creator>Edvin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Here BLE scanning have been stopped &amp;amp; application sent a connection request with Entered MAC address only[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;So at this point, your peripheral is not advertising? If so, it is not possible to connect. The peripheral listens for connection requests only for a couple of ms after an advertisement packet. It is not possible to make the peripheral just listen for connection requests without advertising.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
