4.2.6 anchor/{AnchorID}/handle/{MAC}/{Handle}
Handle:
Finding out the structure of the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) table of a BLE Peripheral device (Discovery) is an energy intensive process. To avoid it, we use the handle number on the GATT table. In this method, the Beacon Line Anchor (Central) can read and write the Characteristics values. This means that to read or write from a specific characteristic, the handle number must be known to the frontend program.
