Note on Connection Profile numbering sequence

The Easy Setup Profile is always assumed to be the Primar y Connection Profile, whether or not it exists. The
menu console reser ves the index number 1 (one) for the Easy Setup Profile, even if you do not create an Easy
Setup Profile.

If you do not create an Easy Setup Profile using the Easy Setup screens, but instead use the WAN Configura-
tion/Add Connection Profile screen to create a Connection Profile, the menu console will name it Profile 1 by
default (you can rename it anything you want). Never theless, the router will always assign such a profile the
index number 2 (two). Profiles added subsequently are internally indexed incrementally.

This can be confusing, when issuing CLI commands because it is possible for Profile 1 to be indexed by the
router as the second profile. Profile 2 is indexed as the third, and so on.

This is illustrated in the following menu console screen:
