Note: If you used Easy Setup to configure your router, you have already created a connection profile called Easy Setup Profile. If you return to the Easy Setup menus and change the Data Link Encapsulation method you set up in this step, the Easy Setup Data Link Encapsulation method will override this one and change the default data link encapsulation method in use.

You are now finished configuring the Line Configuration screen. Press the Escape key to return to the WAN Setup screen.

Note: If you selected Frame Relay as your data link encapsulation method, see “Configuring Frame Relay” on page 8-6for more information.
