Creating a New Connection Profile

For a Netopia 4752, connection profiles are useful for configuring the connection and authentication settings for negotiating a PPP connection on the SDSL link. If you are using the PPP data link encapsulation method, you can store your authentication information in the connection profile so that your user name and password (or host name and secret) are transmitted when you attempt to connect.

Connection profiles define the networking protocols necessary for the device to make a remote connection. A connection profile is like an address book entry describing how the device is to get to a remote site, or how to recognize and authenticate a connection. To create a new connection profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.
