What do you mean by "now it advertise RSSI, UUID, MAC and Device Name"? If you use some observer/app then it might be hidden in the background but each of these things are delivered differently: 
 
 RSSI is measured by the receiver so it's not "broadcasted" at all. 
 UUID is broadcasted in respective GAP AD object. 
 MAC is part of each ADV_xxx packet but in different layer then UUID and Device Name. 
 Device Name is similar to UUID but it's encapsulated in different GAP AD object. 
 
 Finally you asking for some version strings indicate that you would like to have Apple iBeacon advertisement format. This is indeed possible and pretty easy to change (just find the function where Advertising and Scan Response data are filled and change it to your desired format) but note that at this moment Nordic BLE UART Service example in SDK has nothing to do with iBeacons.
