General settings and connection profiles
Before you begin customizing your configuration, you should familiarize yourself with how the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem organizes its configuration settings.
Configuration settings are split into two groups: general settings and connection profile settings.
General settings
General settings apply to the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem as a whole, and cover global settings like system time, password, ISDN phone numbers, phones lines, etc.
Connection profile settings
A connection profile is a group of configuration settings that define the characteristics of an incoming or outgoing connection. Each profile has a number of settings that you can customize.
Connection profile types
The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem supports two profiles: ISP and Corporate. Both can be active at the same time, allowing you to handle different types of connections.
ISP profile
This profile is created by the Internet wizard. It defines the settings for a connection to the Internet. You can use the Manual Configuration option to customize the settings of this profile.
Corporate profile
This profile is provided so you can define the settings for a connection to a remote corporate network. See Chapter Eight, “Connecting to a Corporate Network” for more information.
