Creating a new Connection Profile
For a Netopia R7200, connection profiles are useful for configuring the connection and authentication settings
for negotiating a PPP connection on the SDSL link or on an asynchronous modem attached to the Auxiliary port.
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.
