How do I perform a direct connection on nRF51 DK?

Hello, I`m trying to make my nRF51 to connect only with my phone. On documentation I found that exists a Direct Connection (Direct Advertising), which allows to connect with a pre selected device. I read also something with a whitelist which contains the devices names allowed for connection. But using mbed lib I only found the advertising parameter ADV_CONNECTABLE_DIRECTED, and I dont know exactly how to use it, for me it just stopped advertising and I could not connect anymore.

Is there any example on this? How can I set the devices I want nRF51 to perform a direct connection?

Did you figured out how it works? I have the same problem.

I didn't. It seems mbed doesn't support this function yet. I saw some examples using the nRF51 library, but none with mbed. For now I 'm using only undirected connection.

If you find something please share with us.

Thanks.
