Creating and Editing Profiles

Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon 1530. However, when you change protocols for the VHSI interface, all profile information is lost. To avoid having to re-enter configuration information, choose the protocol first, as described in Changing the VHSI Port Protocol on page 37.

Once your protocol is configured properly, you need to create connection profiles. The following procedure illustrates how profiles are created and modified when the protocol is set to X.25. The procedure is the same for other protocols.

Certain protocols allow for more than one connection profile. For example, if you have set the VHSI interface to the ‘X.25’ protocol, you have the option of creating up to eight profiles. For ‘PPP’ however, you can only create one profile.

Procedure

1.Log in to the Eicon 1530 as described in Accessing the Configuration Menu on page 31.

2.From the Link List, click the ‘Connection’ link. The ‘Connection Profiles’ page appears.

3.To add a profile, enter the name in the ‘Name’ field, then click the ‘Done’ button.

‘Name’ field

Note: With X.25 or Frame Relay, you can create up to eight profiles. For PPP, you can create only one profile.

4.The web page for your new profile will be displayed.

5.To edit the profile, make sure it is selected and click ‘Edit”.
