About advertising off time setting limit

I just downloaded "BLE-CC254x-1.3.2" and started working on the BLE SensorTag example project with BLE Sensor Tag hardware.

What I want is to let the Sensor Tag to advertise for 2 second every 1 minute. The iPhone will listen to the advertisement all the time. I modified the following:

  • GAPROLE_ADVERT_OFF_TIME = 60000;      //set the advertising off time to 60 seconds
  • GAP_SetParamValue(TGAP_LIM_ADV_TIMEOUT, 2);      //set advertising time to 2 seconds
  • #define DEFAULT_ADVERTISING_INTERVAL          240      //set advertising interval to 200ms

The problem comes with GAPROLE_ADVERT_OFF_TIME. When it is set to 40000, it worked and the tag was advertising every 40 seconds. But it does not work when I increase the value to 60000.

Is there any limit on the setting? And I found that the iPhone may not detect the Tag's advertisements every time with this setting (200ms interval and last for 2 seconds). Is there any recommended setting?
