Using your Eicon 1530 39
Creating and Editing Profiles
Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon1530. 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 page37.
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.
