# DCN Profile

The DCN Profile is a pile of settings that are commonly applied to the APs used in AWC-DCN (AWC-Dynamic Client Navigation), including configurations for communicating management information among the APs belonging to the DCN group, DCN VAPs, and other settings.
This page allows you to create, edit, and delete DCN profiles, and apply configurations to the APs selected as the targets of an DCN profile.

IP Address: Shows the AP's IP address. MAC Address: Shows the device's MAC address. Management Status: Shows the Management Status of the AP. Unmanaged: The AP is not managed, because any of the IP address, MAC address, or AP profile is not configured. Configurations cannot be applied to unmanaged APs. Searching: The AWC Plug-in is searching for the AP. Applying: The AWC Plug-in is applying a configuration update to the AP. Managed: The AP is being managed by the AWC Plug-in. Waiting: The AP was provisioned by AMF configuration and has just been assigned an AP Profile. Or, the AP was provisioned to use DHCP to register IP/MAC addresses to the AWC Plug-in, and has just been assigned an AP Profile. Failed: The AP is no longer managed by the AWC Plug-in. Not Authenticated: The AP cannot be managed because the number of managed APs reached the maximum number allowed by the registered Wireless AP licenses. Alternatively, the AP cannot be managed because the AP belongs to a Channel Blanket or Smart Connect network, but the number of managed APs has reached the maximum number allowed by the registered Channel Blanket / Smart Connect licenses. Config Status: Shows the configuration status of the AP. Not Configured: The AP is not fully configured. Not Applied: The configuration has not been applied to the AP by the AWC Plug-in. Latest: The latest configuration has been applied to the AP. Pending: The AP has an out-of-date configuration. A newer configuration has not been applied. AP Profile: Shows the AP Profile assigned to the AP. "OK" button: Applies the changes of the settings, including DCN and other (AP, CB, and SC) profiles, to the AP. Note AWC-DCN is not supported mixed with AWC-SC or AWC-CB. If other kinds of profiles are applied at the same time, the SC profile, CB profile, DCN profile, and AP profile will take precedence in that order. It also applies pending AP-specific configuration updates to APs. "Cancel" button: Cancels applying configuration changes to the AP.
