Creating A New Connection Profile - Netopia 3341-ENT Firmware User Manual

Creating a New Connection Profile
Connection profiles are useful for configuring the connection and authentication settings for negotiating a PPP
connection. If you are using the PPP data link encapsulation method, you can store your authentication
information in the connection profile so that your user name and password (or host name and secret) are
transmitted when you attempt to connect.
Connection profiles define the networking protocols necessary for the Router to make a remote connection. A
connection profile is like an address book entry describing how the Router is to get to a remote site, or how to
recognize and authenticate a connection. To create a new connection profile, you navigate to the WAN
Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.
The Add Connection Profile screen appears.
