The Wan Default Profile - Netopia R6100 Reference Manual

8-20 User's Reference Guide
The WAN Default Profile
If you are using RFC1483 datalink encapsulation, the Default Profile screen controls whether or not the ADSL
link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. (PPP datalink encapsulation does not
support a default profile, and the corresponding menu item is unavailable.) See
page 10-27 for more information.
You access the WAN Default Profile screen from the Main Menu by selecting WAN Configuration and then
selecting WAN Default Profile.
The WAN Default Profile screen appears.
Must Match a Defined Profile:
IP Enabled:
IP Parameters...
IPX Enabled:
IPX Parameters...
Return/Enter accepts * Tab toggles * ESC cancels.
Configure Default WAN Connection Parameters here.
You can set Must Match a Defined Profile to Yes or No (the default). This item controls whether or not
the ADSL link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. If your ISP is serving you a
dynamic IP Address, you need not explicitly configure a connection profile, and the default behavior of the
router will be able to connect automatically once it is powered on.
If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, then the IP Enabled item is visible. Toggling this item to Yes
(the default) or No controls whether or not IP will be supported on the ADSL link. If IP Enabled is set to Yes,
the IP Parameters item becomes visible. If you select IP Parameters, the IP Parameters screen appears
(see "IP Parameters (Default Profile) screen" on page
parameters for ADSL connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile.
