Connection Profiles
The dial backup feature allows you to configure a complete Connection Profile for the modem backup, just as
you do for your primar y WAN connection. In this way profiles are associated with a par ticular inter face. It should
have switched characteristics for modem backup.
Navigate to the Add Connection Profile screen.
If you used Easy Setup to configure your DSL connection, you have already created one Connection Profile. For
the backup modem, you create a second Connection Profile, and associate it with the backup modem inter face.
• Profile Name: Give the profile a descriptive name, for example “Modem Backup”.
• Profile Enabled: Ordinarily this is toggled to Yes. You can toggle it to No, if you want to disable it later.
• Encapsulation Type: From the pop-up menu select the encapsulation type. Usually, for modem dial-up
connections, this will be PPP, but you can also select ATMP, PPTP, or IPsec for VPN connections. These
are the options needed for dial-up.
