Configure Remote Site Profiles for Leased Line PPP
Remote Site Profiles allow the router to have different sets of configuration parameters for
each of the possible remote site PPP routers that may be connected to this router. This
allows greater control over the configuration of each possible PPP connection.
Each remote site profile is named with an alias. The alias provides a simple method of
maintaining configuration control over the remote site profiles defined. For example, a
remote site profile may be created with a name that describes the location of the remote
PPP router. The alias also provides a method of matching a remote site profile and its
configuration settings to a particular user name on an incoming connection. When a PPP
security user name is defined the same as one of the remote site profiles, that remote site
profile will be used for PPP negotiations after the security authentication process has passed.
In other words, when this router receives a link connection attempt it will prompt the
remote device for a user name and password (PPP security). Once the name and password
have been authenticated, the user name is used to search the remote site profile entries to
find a match. Once a match is found, the configuration parameters defined within that
remote site profile are used to finish establishing the PPP connection.
The outgoing user name in the remote site security parameters entry, and the remote
site alias defined on the partner PPP router must be the same to allow for proper
operation.
The following steps must be performed on the P1705 & P1730 in order to define a new
remote site profile.

Edit Remote Site
The remote site alias must be entered to create a new site. If a user
defined remote site profile already exists, only the id number needs to be
provided to edit that site’s parameters.
