Create Connection Profiles | Eicon Networks 1551, 1550 manual

Step 4: Create Connection Profiles

Once the VHSI port protocol is verified, you can begin cre- ating connection profiles.

Creating a Profile

1.From the menu, click the ‘Connection’ link.

The ‘Connection Profiles’ page appears. As no profiles yet exist, the only section on this page is an area to create a new profile.

2.To add a profile, enter the name in the ‘Name’ field then click the ‘Done’ button. If you are using an Eicon 1551, you can also select the port to be used by this profile (VHSI or ISDN).

‘Name’ field

‘Port’ setting

Note: The ISDN port (available on the Eicon 1551 only) is used mainly for backup purposes.

3.The settings for your new profile will be displayed, along with configuration parameters. The parameters available will differ depending on the protocol used.

4.Make the required changes to the profile. Be sure to scroll down and inspect all parameters.

Note: Online help is available by clicking on the setting names (in blue).

5.Click the ‘Save’ button (located at the bottom right of the page) when finished.

Note: If you do not click ‘Save’, the changes will be lost when you move to another page.

Creating more profiles, or editing existing profiles

To create another profile, click on the ‘Connection’ link at the left of the screen. The new ‘Connections’ page will appear. Existing profiles will be listed at the top.

Profile you created

•To edit an existing profile, click on the radio button to the left of the profile, then click ‘Edit’.

•To delete a profile, click on the radio button to the left of the profile, then click ‘Delete’.

•The ‘New Profile’ section will be located at the bottom of the profiles list. To create a new profile, enter the name for the new profile, choose the port, and click ‘Done’.

Limits on Creating Profiles

If the VHSI protocol is set to X.25, you can create up to 32 connection profiles. When set to Frame Relay, you can cre- ate up to eight connection profiles. When using PPP as the VHSI port protocol, you may only create one profile.

Note: It is not recommended to mix Frame Relay and X.25 profiles. It is recommended that you either create all X.25 (with or without ISDN) or all Frame Relay (with or without ISDN) profiles.

With the Eicon 1551, you can also create up to two ISDN profiles. However, the maximum number of profiles for both X.25 and ISDN combined is still 32. This means, that, if you create two ISDN profiles, you are then limited to 30 X.25 profiles.

If you are using PPP for the VHSI port, you can still create two ISDN profiles along with the single PPP/VHSI profile.
