Testing on Modules of Alert Notification Application and Immediate Alert Client Application

[swathi p]

Hi Sir/Madam,

I tried testing Alert Application notification by performing mentioned testing steps but after i reach 4th step i.e Bond to the device from nRF Connect (the device is advertising as 'Nordic_Alert_Notif'). To bond, click the settings button for the server in nRF Connect, select "Security parameters", check "Perform Bonding", and click "Apply". Then connect to the device. Observe that the BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED state is indicated.

Problems noticed:

1)Unable to find device advertising as 'Nordic_Alert_Notif' 

2)Unable to observe  BSP_INDICATE_CONNECTED state is indicated.

 

I also tried testing  Immediate Alert Client Application and followed mentioned steps but coudn't find <InstallFolder>\examples\ble_peripheral\experimental\ble_app_ias_c folder. Load the file findMeMasterServer.ncs. but it is found to be in nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_ias_c tried loading findMeMasterServer.ncs from this folder.

and then tried to connect to the device named nRF Connect but when i press button 1 and observe change in value is not noticed as mentioned.

Thank You.

Hi,

NOTE:Testing on Alert Notification application of SDK15.3.0

As you suggested i started performing testing using mobile application named nRF Connect.I am trying to advertise it from mobile(NRF Connect) and scan on desktop(nRF Connect) and there are some details of service UUID,service data are to be manually entered in mobile app.Please help me in letting know details to be entered in mobile nRF connect app and further steps.

Thank you.

Hi.

I've had a more thorough look at the nRF Connect Mobile application.

If you are going to use 1 mobile and 1 DK I think you have to configure the server manually on the mobile phone.

So you have to configure all the information found in AlertNotifServer.ncs manually if you don't use two DK's.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi,

Thank you for the information.I tried configuring server manually in nRFConnect(mobile) ,and then advertise.It is displaying the  error message "advertising is already started" but am unable to find advertising device when i tried scanning in nRFConnect(desktop).Unable to figure out whats going wrong,please let me know what is  the right procedure if we are using 1 DK and 1 mobile.

As mentioned in steps while testing do we need to add  AlertNotifServer.ncs in nRFConnect(desktop) too?

Thank You.

Could you please describe a bit more in details how you set up the server on the mobile phone?

Hi,

Thank you so much for your previous suggestion and yes i am able to test Alert Notification Service example by configuring server details onto nRFConnect (mobile).

But through Alert Notification Service I was expecting to get notification as push notification that gets displayed on mobile whenever certain event/any value set on to any peripheral's Register in nrf52832 over BLE,but here in alert notification service example during testing I observed that whatever the input we are giving through nrf52832 or nRFConnect(mobile) is getting displayed on UART and change of values taking place during button press are updated onto server details mentioned on nRFConnect(mobile). I coudn't observe any other functionality.

Let me know if there is any possibility to implement getting notification as related push notification onto nRFConnect(mobile) using Alert Notification Service . If not,please help me in letting know what could be the right way to approach for my expected functionality. 

Thank you.
