app beacon example error

Hi,

I'm trying to set up the connectable/scannable advertising. I took the app_beacon example and changed advertising parameters.

My final set up is:

#define APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG            1                                 /**< A tag identifying the SoftDevice BLE configuration. */

}

The ADV_INTERVAl is defined as:

#ifndef ADV_INTERVAL
#define ADV_INTERVAL 300
#endif

After running the app will throw the error:   <error> app: ERROR 18 [Unknown error code]

I looked to another examples which have similar set up as mine example so I would not expect any error.

If I set    m_adv_params.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_NONCONN_IND (deafult setting of the example)

then everything is OK and I can catch sent packet via wireshark.

Did I miss something? For example some, GATT settings?

Thank you for help!
