Change Beacon advertisement parameter's without connecting

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to change the advertisement parameters of a beacon device without connecting to it?
(ex: major,minor value & interval) 
 Is it OK if our beacon product advertise in connectable mode (any compliance issue)? 
 How can i get access to the Beacon firmware files if i don't purchase the Beacon development kit, but have many nrf51822 evaluation kit with me? 
 Regards,

Hi, 
 I assume you want to change the parameters wirelessly over ble? :p Unfortunately this is not possible. 
 You can have a beacon product that advertises in connectable mode as long as it is connectable. Note that the beacon would stop advertising when a device connects to it, and you might get undesired connections in this case. I guess you could bond to one device during a commissioning process to make this a"configurator", then use the whitelist to filter out unwanted connections. For iBeacon applications please refer to the apple documentation. 
 Did you get access to the Beacon files? you can contact your regional sales manager or ask for access in the support portal. 
 Best regards,
