Here is the situation: 
 
The host has two Bluetooth radios, 
Radio1: listening to inquiring devices  
Radio2: Connect or page devices (Inquiry is disabled on this one).
Lots of Mobile Devices: Looking for connection with the host
 
Radio1 would listen to inquiries and somehow!!! after getting addresses of
inquiring devices, would pass them onto Radio2, which would eventually page
the devices to connect.  What I would like to have is the mobile devices
looking for connection would initiate the inquiry but page would be
initiated by Radio2 on the host. This would require Radio1 to know the
address without doing inquiry (but only listening to inquiries)...  Is there
any way possible to achieve this?  Role switch attempt !? 
 
Thank you again for your invaluable help.
 
Krishna Bhoutika

Hi Krishna,

this is not your thread.

I think that I know what you are trying to do. This is not possible and
you should really read the specification and understand how Bluetooth
works.
