Managing SP Profiles (Admin users only)

The MergePoint SP manager supports two types of SP profiles: default and user. Default SP
profiles define 18 default profiles of SPs, while user SP profiles define new SP profiles. The
Admin user can view the settings of the default SP profiles and create, modify or delete a user
SP profile. You may need to create a new SP profile if an SP does not work properly with any
of the default SP profiles.
The SP profile provides parameters, values or functions of SPs, such as:
• Protocol: used for communications between the MergePoint SP manager and SPs.
• Family: contains a list of pre-defined SP profiles and customX (X=1, 2, 3) SP profiles.
NOTE: The customX family needs a new Expect script which has been created using the name talk_customX.exp.
(For more on creating new Expect scripts, see Profile Configuration on page 206.
• Command Template: contains a list of templates for SP profiles. You may create a new
template by clicking SP Templates Configuration. A MindTerm session will activate the
sptemplate utility. See To use the sptemplate utility to create a new template: on page 211.
