Search for beacons based on major, minor

[23pointsNorth]

Is it possible (and how) to locate beacons instead of with their uuid, but with the major and minor number?
We are looking for a way to do it, as deploying new beacons should not require an update to the app.

Also, is the server authentication step required?

Hi,

You will still need the UUID but you can have multiple beacons with the same UUID and just look for different major and minor numbers.

The server authentication isn't required. It was just something we were using to send beacon data back to our server.
