Requirement:To be able to access Ble-console of an AP using BLUConsole app starting 8.6.X
Solution:From 8.6 BLE-opmode for ble-console operation been deprecated. We have to configure IOT radio profile to enable ble-console as it is disabled by default.
Configuration:Ble opmode been restricted to beacon, Scan and both.
(IoT Radio Profile "Test") # ble-opmode ?
<opmode> beac scan or both
In order to get the ble-console enabled we need to create IOT radio profile to have this option enabled,
(config) # iot radio-profile Test
(IoT Radio Profile "Test") # ble-console ?
<console> off on or dynamic
(IoT Radio Profile Test") # ble-console on
(IoT Radio Profile Test") # exit
(config)# exit
# commit apply
We need to map the profile in use using the below command,
(config) # iot use-radio-profile Test
(config)# exit
# commit apply
From running-configuration, you would be seeing the below config,
iot radio-profile Test
ble-console on
iot use-radio-profile Test
Verification# show ap debug ble-config

Note: Uplink status is applicable only for Controller with Dynamic Console operational mode.
For APBs of type LS-BT1USB, applied operational mode is Beaconing if ap system profile setting is either Persistent or Dynamic.
Note: Setting Message Selector value to 0x0 will cause the APB to function improperly. Use the knob with caution.
