Hi,

I'm new in bluetooth, I want to ask can more than one client connect to a bluetooth server?

    In Bluetooth low energy, the terms "client" and "server" are different than the terms "master" and "slave", which relate to connections. A master is allowed to connect to multiple slaves simultaneously (though the CC2540 as a master only supports a single connection as a master), while a slave can only be connected to a single master at ant one time. In other words, a BLE network has a star topology.

    The "client" and "server" roles pertain to data being sent or received from devices in a connection. Any connected device can be a client or server at any time. Therefore, the answer to your question is YES, more than one client can be connected to a single server; however the master/slave star topology must be followed.
