S130, connection without advertising ?

[Fabien Comte]

Hello,

Is that possible to connect to a device that is not advertising ? (a kind of wifi not send SSID)

In my case I know what mac address to connect so it's useless and i want to have notifications (cannot run at same time than advertisements).

No, Central cannot. It needs advertising packets to time to send the connection request.

It cannot send packets to peripheral whenever it wants, because peripheral is not listening all the time. Even when peripheral is advertising, there are RADIO idle times.

Yes, advertiser can broadcast with non connectable mode, in that case it won't accept any connections. Yes you can, but i did not understand completely what you want to ask here
