How to enter OOB key in nRF Connect app

[Lex]

Hi,

I'm developing a peripheral that will connect to and, establish security with, a master. The peripheral will have an OOB key programmed on it at production. The master will know about this key from a database. To test this setup, I want to use the nRF Connect app as the master. The problem is, I can not find anywhere where I could enter the OOB key in the Connect app (whether mobile or PC version), even though I have been clicking around for a good while.

I have seen this post where it appears to be possible to enter the key, but in my version of the app - the most recent one - I can not find it. Has this function been taken away? If not, how can I access it?

Hi, 

To use OOB, you have to set Security parameters for OOB bonding in the application. 

Using nRF Connect for desk, bond to the device with OOB enabled. Enter the settings, select "Pair...", check "Enable OOB data" and "Perform bonding", and click "Apply".
A new window opens and prompts you for a passkey.

Using nRF Connect for mobile, bond to the device. Enter the settings, select Bond. A new window opens and prompts you for a passkey.
