Creating a New Connection Profile
For a Netopia 4752, connection profiles are useful for configuring the connection and authentication settings
for negotiating a PPP connection on the SDSL link. If you are using the PPP data link encapsulation method, you
can store your authentication information in the connection profile so that your user name and password (or
host name and secret) are transmitted when you attempt to connect.
Connection profiles define the networking protocols necessar y for the device to make a remote connection. A
connection profile is like an address book entr y describing how the device is to get to a remote site, or how to
recognize and authenticate a connection. To create a new connection profile, you navigate to the WAN
Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.
The Add Connection Profile screen appears.
On a Netopia 4752 SDSL Integrated Access Device you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of
16, but you can only use one at a time.
1. Select Profile Name and enter a name for this connection profile. It can be any name you wish. For
example: the name of your ISP.
2. Toggle Profile Enabled to Yes or No. The default is Yes.
