Central client device name

[Frederic]

I'm writting firmware for a Peripheral Server and wish to display the smart device friendly name that will connect to my nRF52832. Is it possible without addind service/characteristic?

I was reading this thread: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/5268/how-to-retrieve-the-central-name. I understand that the central is the server in this case so it's not really my case since the smart device won't be the server and won't have the device name characteristic.

I'm using s132 softdevice.

Thank you for your help!

The Central does not have a name it has an address. If you want to differentiate who get's to connect to your peripheral you need to use Whitelisting. In that case see Peer Manager and Managing whitelists.

no it's really the device name I need, like the smart phone name.It's about informing the user, not to manage who can or can't connect.
