Connection Profiles
Since you will probably only have a single connection to your ISP over the SDSL link, you may not need to create multiple connection profiles. Multiple connection profiles are useful on leased (unswitched) interfaces such as SDSL only to support meshed WAN connections. If you do not intend to set up meshed WAN connections, you do not need to create multiple connection profiles.
Connection profiles may be used to define the connection information for your WAN Auxiliary Port access.
Connection Profiles define the line 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.
