# Switching Between Profiles - icom Data Suite

This Configuration Guide shows how to switch between existing profiles remotely using the Command Shell in Cumulocity Cloud or Telekom Cloud of Things.

## Situation

The configuration of the router or icom Data Suite is stored in a profile. Several different configurations can be stored in individual profiles. It might be necessary to switch to a different profile, i.e. configuration set, from remote. This can be achieved using the Command Shell.

## Solution

It is prerequisite that you have a cloud service account. The router must be registered in the cloud service. Refer to the Configuration Guide [Registering and Sending a Value to the Cumulocity Cloud](/kb/docs/en/cumulocity-cloud-registering-and-sending-a-value-en) to see how to register a router in the Cumulocity Cloud. The version of the icom Data Suite must be 1.3 or later.

1. Log in to your Cumulocity Cloud account.
2. Click on *Other applications* () in the top right corner and select *Device management*.
3. Click on *All devices* and select your router in the list of all devices.
4. Click on *Shell* ()
5. In the *>_* *Command* field, enter: `M3.administration.profiles.list`
6. Click on *Execute* to list all profiles on the router.
7. In the *>_* *Command* field, enter: `M3.administration.profiles.activate=profile_name`
8. Click on *Execute*.

> [!NOTE]
> Please note!
> 
> The first command lists all profiles that are currently stored. The profile that is active is indicated with *running*. The profile that is opened is indicated with *opened for editing*. The second command activates the specified profile. Enter the profile name as listed by the previous command. The profile name is case-sensitive. The prefix `M3.` determines that the commands are sent to the **router**. The prefix `IDS.` would determine that the commands are sent to the **icom Data Suite**. The respective commands for the **icom Data Suite** are: `IDS.administration.profiles.list` `IDS.administration.profiles.list`

You may repeat the command above for listing the profiles to verify that the desired profile is running now.

## Troubleshooting

- The commands entered in the Command Shell are case-sensitive.
