Creating and Editing Profiles

Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon 1550/1551.
However, when you change protocols for the VHSI interface, all profile information is
lost. To avoid having to re-enter configuration information, choose the protocol first, as
described in

Changing the VHSI Port Protocol

on page 47.

Once your protocol is configured properly, you need to create connection profiles. The
following procedure illustrates how profiles are created and modified when the protocol
is set to X.25. The procedure is the same for other protocols.

When creating profiles, refer to

Limits on Creating Profiles

on page 22, for important

information.

Procedure

1.

Log in to the Eicon 1550/1551 as described in
