How to distinguish between multiple devices advertising with same name on central side?

[techietech]

Hello !!

I am using ble_app_becon example code to send some data with device name. On central I'm scanning and searching with device name to identify at central side and then accepting manufacturer data at central side. If I am having multiple devices with same name which are advertising without connection then how could I change on central side as well as peripheral side so that central could distinguish between all the other devices. The final code should be a same for each devices. 

Chipset : NRF52832

SDK : nRF5SDK1702

Thanks

Hi,

Use the GAP address. The advertising report from the beacons contains the GAP address, see the ble_app_interactive example in the SDK for an example:

Hi, 

Where do I find this example? I am not seeing anywhere in my current SDK 17.02. Also my requirement is it should be generic like it will go for multiple devices. I do not want to use connectable methods. Right now I'm using Ble_app_beacon example of ble_peripheral for advertising end and ble_app_uart_c example for central side.

There's a multi-link example here:
