Cisco USB BLE Beacon firmware supports different profiles. Profiles are the different bluetooth signals in
approved formats.
Only one profile can be active at a time.
Note
The supported beacon profiles for an AP’s BLE firmware are:
• iBeacon
• Eddystone UID
• Eddystone URL
• Location (viBeacon)
For more information about profiles, see the Cisco DNA Spaces-BLE Manager configuration guide at:

Step 2 Choose Physical Beacons > AP Beacons.
The AP Beacons window displays the Beacon Status, MAC Address, Beacon ID, Profile Type, and Location details.
Hover your cursor over the Profile Type information icon to view a message that an AP can broadcast only as iBeacon,
Eddystone_URL, Eddystone_UID, or viBeacon.
Step 3 Select the AP with the Cisco USB BLE Beacon installed and click MAC address.
The Overview tab displays the beacon details.
Step 4 Click the Edit tab.
Step 5 Select the beacon profile from the AP Beacon drop-down list.
