That worked.
Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to change n/a name in beacon code?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/97063?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Aug 2017 10:39:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:fdc4fbe9-fc44-4f43-946b-9175babc209e</guid><dc:creator>Joakim Jakobsen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Newbie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take a look at &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/135263/set-a-name-in-beacon-example-sdk-12/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; post, and specially Sigurd&amp;#39;s &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/135263/set-a-name-in-beacon-example-sdk-12/?answer=135274#post-id-135274"&gt;answer&lt;/a&gt;. That should help solve your problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the beacon example the advertising
data packet is already filled up with
other data, so there is not enough
room for the device name.   Note that
Beacons typically don&amp;#39;t have a name,
because there is little room left in
the advertise packet after including
the beacon payload. Beacons usually
signal their intent and meaning by the
URL or ID that they contain, and don&amp;#39;t
really need a local name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;
Joakim.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
