The DIVA Terminal Adapters Program for Macintosh
About Configuration Profiles
A profile is a set of parameters that define a particular ISDN setup.
When you installed the DIVA software, the Configuration Assistant helped you configure your ISDN settings. These settings were saved to Profile 0.
In addition to this profile, you can configure two other profiles that define different ISDN setups, which can correspond to the needs of your different applications. For example, you may configure profiles to match the ISDN setup needed to connect to your office, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and CompuServe.
When you need a particular ISDN configuration, you simply select the appropriate profile. This saves you the trouble of reconfiguring all your ISDN parameters each time you switch applications.
