Connection Profiles
Connection profiles store important information about your Raritan
device such as the IP address, custom TCP ports, preferred compression
settings, and custom security keys. A profile is required to access devices
outside your subnet and to access devices using a dial-up connection.
Through profiles, you can set up personalized connections. These
profiles are not shared among other users.
Tip: If your Raritan device is configured to use a custom TCP port or a
group security key, first create a connection profile so that you can access
the device.
Connection profiles are created, modified, deleted, established, and
closed in the same way for both MPC and RRC.
Creating Profiles
¾ To create a profile:
1. There are two ways to create a profile:
ƒ For automatically discovered devices, right-click on the device
name in the Navigator and choose Add Profile from the shortcut
menu.
ƒ For other devices, choose Connection > New Profile.
The Add Connection dialog appears. Options are organized into
three tabs.
2. On the Connect tab, type a meaningful description of the device in
the Description field (up to 32 alphanumeric, special characters (see
"Special Characters in MPC" on page 144) characters are allowed).
This description identifies the Raritan device in the Navigator.
3. From the Product drop-down, choose the Raritan product you are
using.
4. Select the Connection Type from the drop-down to specify the type
of connection.
Note: Only TCP/IP is available for Generation 2 (G2) Raritan devices.
