    I have an ap 325.   I believe that the internal BLE device should be turned on and functioning but when I try to find it with my meridian app I do not hear it.   how can I look on the AP/controller to see what it thinks the state of the device is.   I am running a 7200 controller with 6.4.4.8 code on it.

    Can you see other beacons? (show ap debug ble-table ap-name . )



    What is the configuration in the ap system profile?

    looks like something may be off as it has a flag of 0x0081 and all the others that I see have a 0x0083

    What I found (after opening a TAC case) was that the device was not functioning properly.  A reboot of the AP solved the issue and I was able to place the device on the map.
