The default profile

For R5100 SA and R5300 T1 models the Default Profile screen controls whether or not the communication link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. If you have an R5200 DDS model, you can skip this section. See “Connection Profiles” on page 9-8for more information. You access the Default Profile screen from the Main Menu by selecting WAN Configuration and then selecting Default Profile.

■You can set Must Match a Defined Profile item to Yes or No (the default). This item controls whether or not the communication link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. If your ISP is serving you a dynamic IP Address, you need not explicitly configure a connection profile, and the default behavior of the router will be to connect automatically once it is powered on.

If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, then an IP Enabled item is visible. Toggling this item to Yes (the default) or No controls whether or not IP will be supported on the communication link. If IP Enabled is set to Yes, an IP Parameters item becomes visible. If you select IP Parameters the IP Parameters screen appears (see “IP parameters (default profile) screen” on page 8-21). This screen allows you to configure various IP parameters for connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile.
