Creating a new Connection Profile
Connection Profiles define the telco and networking protocols necessary for the router to make a remote connection. A Connection Profile is like an address book entry describing how the router is to get to a remote site, or how to recognize and authenticate a remote user dialing in to the router. For example, to create a new Connection Profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.
