need same address in Advertiser but it is always a random mac address

[v642]

Hai,

I am working with Gatt server on the phone with the nRF connect app. I have my client code that is written in python.

Problem:

The nRF connect under Advertiser, I have created my own Advertiser named 'Adver_pack' so whenever I turn it ON and OFF in the phone nRF connect app,  the mac addresses that are visible in the python code console to connect is always changing.

Needed Solution:

I don't want it to be random and have the same even I turn it ON and OFF.

Images:

Image1: the turn ON and OFF tool by which everytime I turn it ON again, their is a random address

Image 2,3,4: Different mac address each time I turn it ON again

Thanks in advance!!

Hello

This is because only the randomized mac address is advertised and not the actual/fixed one due to security / privacy reasons.

This article explains about why randomized mac is used.
