About profiles

About this topic	This topic describes what profiles are and what they do.
	Read this topic if you are an administrator in charge of managing
	Velocity11 devices.
Profiles defined
Profiles defined	A profile contains the initialization settings needed for communication
	between a device and device driver. The data in a profile is used by
	VWorks or BenchWorks software to identify each device on the network.
	A profile can also contain other basic settings that you are unlikely to
	change once set up.
	Because profiles identify device driver devices on the network, each
	device driver device must have its own profile.
	You can create, modify, and delete profiles as needed.
Stored settings
Stored settings	Profiles are stored in the Windows registry.
	The settings stored in a device driver profile include:
	❑ Whether the device is connected using serial or Ethernet
	❑ If the device is connected using Ethernet, the Device ID of the
	device on the network
	❑ If the device is connected using serial, the COM port that the
	controlling computer uses for communication
	❑ Configuration of accessories
