Thank you for your answer. At Scanner side, how to access "Generic Access" ? I want to access and read Value. For example, Device Name, Appearance and so on.

The device name should be set using sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(..). After setting the device name with that function, you can retrieve the device name using sd_ble_gap_device_name_get(..).

In our SDK examples, the device name is set in gap_params_init().

Update 30.03.16: In order to get the device name, appearance, etc when in a connection, you will need to implement a client module that takes care of the handles for the device name characteristic, appearance characteristic, etc. The attached example shows how to extract the device name when in a connection. The example is based on ble_app_uart_c, and will request the device name after receiving "name" over UART (and data_array does only contain "name"). In the example, ble_gap_c.c/h implements a limited GAP client module that finds and takes care of the device name characteristic handle.

Note 1: that the example has not been tested extensively.

Note 2: the example is based on SDK 11, and should be used with S130/S132 v 2.0.0
