Accessing system id during Advertising

Question

Hi
I defined an system id in nrf code & am able to access in the android app after i set service discovery & bonding.Is it possible to view the system id during advertising itself ,so that i can display the system id like the device name or device address or device RSSI during advertsing !!??

The advertising packet can contain your device name. You have to set the device name when you initialize your GAP parameters, and set the device name type when you initialize your advertising parameters. There are good examples of this in the SDK service example projects. 
 To send your system id and RSSI in the advertising packet, you can use the manufacturers specific data portion of the advertising packet. There is good information in this forum on that if you search for it.
