Requirement:
How to enable BLE-Console for campus AP post 8.6.x.x
Solution:Prior to 8.6, you can enable ble-console in ap system profile by setting the mode as persistant-console. However post 8.6, this feature has been moved to a separate radio profile called iot-radio profile. You can set the mode of the iot-radio profile to ble and enable ble-console for bluconsole access.
Configuration:(config) #iot radio-profile Test
(IoT Radio Profile "Test") #radio-mode ble
(IoT Radio Profile "Test") #ble-console on
(IoT Radio Profile "Test") #exit
Map the iot-radio profile Test in the requried ap-group.
(config) #ap-group default
(AP group "default") #iot radio-profile Test
(AP group "default") #write mem
Verification#show ap-group default
AP group "default"

Note: Uplink status is applicable only for 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.
