Once the VHSI port protocol is verified, you can begin cre-
ating connection profiles.
Creating a Profile
1. From the menu, click the ‘Connection’ link.
The ‘Connection Profiles’ page appears. As no profiles
yet exist, the only section on this page is an area to
create a new profile.
2. To add a profile, enter the name in the ‘Name’ field
then click the ‘Done’ button. If you are using an
Eicon 1551, you can also select the port to be used by
this profile (VHSI or ISDN).
Note: The ISDN port (available on the Eicon 1551 only) is used mainly
for backup purposes.
3. The settings for your new profile will be displayed, along
with configuration parameters. The parameters available
will differ depending on the protocol used.
4. Make the required changes to the profile. Be sure to
scroll down and inspect all parameters.
Note: Online help is available by clicking on the setting names (in blue).
5. Click the ‘Save’ button (located at the bottom right of the
page) when finished.
Note: If you do not click ‘Save’, the changes will be lost when you move
to another page.
Creating more profiles, or editing existing profiles
To create another profile, click on the ‘Connection’ link at
the left of the screen. The new ‘Connections’ page will
appear. Existing profiles will be listed at the top.
• To edit an existing profile, click on the radio button to the
left of the profile, then click ‘Edit’.
• To delete a profile, click on the radio button to the left of
the profile, then click ‘Delete’.
• The ‘New Profile’ section will be located at the bottom of
the profiles list. To create a new profile, enter the name
for the new profile, choose the port, and click ‘Done’.
Limits on Creating Profiles
If the VHSI protocol is set to X.25, you can create up to 32
connection profiles. When set to Frame Relay, you can cre-
ate up to eight connection profiles. When using PPP as the
VHSI port protocol, you may only create one profile.
Note: It is not recommended to mix Frame Relay and X.25 profiles. It is
recommended that you either create all X.25 (with or without ISDN) or all
Frame Relay (with or without ISDN) profiles.
With the Eicon 1551, you can also create up to two ISDN
profiles. However, the maximum number of profiles for both
X.25 and ISDN combined is still 32. This means, that, if you
create two ISDN profiles, you are then limited to 30 X.25
profiles.
If you are using PPP for the VHSI port, you can still create
two ISDN profiles along with the single PPP/VHSI profile.
