Use pm_manager to add central address to whitelist without bonding

[stes]

Hi there,

I would like to add the device address of a central to the whitelist on my peripheral. Is this possible without bonding? So I set sec_param.bond = false in pm_sec_params_set(&sec_param), but I would like to add the connected central to the whitelist. Is this possible (without bonding)?

I am using SDK 15.3, Softdevice S140, V6.1.1

Hi, 

Yes. The Usage section in the Peer Manager documentation has code examples that how you can use the Peer Manager in your application, including how to make a whitelist.

Hi Amanda,

thank you for your response. Let me clarify:

1) I am setting the Security Parameter sec.param according to the "Pairing, no bonding" section 

2) The chapter "Making a whitelist" reads: "The Peer Manager..... to construct a whitelist *out of the stored peer bonding data*. The following example...."

My understanding is, that I need bonded peers in order to create a whitelist, or am I missing something? I was interested in creating a whitelist from only paired devices.

Hi,  

Yes, you are right. In that example, the whitelist is created by the bond information database stored by the peer manager. 

Please let me correct the previous reply:

 If you don't plan to bond but still want to have whitelist. You have to manage the whitelist manually. Here you can find an example of how to do it manually (this is for whitelist with advertising but it should be the same for scanning).
