Configuration/Connection List

The Express XL/XLT uses the Connection List to specify the profile each user or group of users are to have when connected. Each profile or item in the Con- nection List has many configurable parameters giving high flexibility on a per user basis.

Up to 15 profiles can be defined in the Connection List. Calls cannot be origi- nated or answered unless a Connection List profile is defined. The Express XL/XLT factory defaults with one profile called DEFAULT. This profile is used for any incoming calls when Configuration/Security/Authentication = None or when the username of the connecting PPP peer is not found in the Connection List.

To insert a new profile, press the I key when over the Num column. A new inserted profile will always be set up with the default parameters. To copy parameters from an old profile to this newly inserted profile, use the copy (C) and paste (P) keys. Entire configuration trees can be copied with this method.
