BLE Scanning Whitelist

[matt129]

Hello,

I am looking into adding a whitelist to my central device to stop scanning devices I am disinterested in, however, I have a few questions and concerns about them:

1. If I have a whitelist in place will I still scan other devices, possibly firing the BLE_GAP_EVT_SCAN_REQ_REPORT event on them?

2. Is it possible to create a whitelist without bonding with devices, as I do not want to connect to any of the peripheral devices?

3. If yes to above; I am using SDK v15.3 and SoftDevice S140 and cannot find any good documentation on how to create a whitelist with these versions. If you could point towards some that would be appreciated.

Thank you for any help,

Matt
