UNDERSTANDING PROFILES
A profile stores and retrieves multiple configurations for the Express
3100. An individual profile contains unique settings appropriate to
specific applications. Using the Express Configuration program, pro-
files can be created, saved, copied, edited, and deleted. In addition,
importing and exporting profiles simplifies troubleshooting and set-
up. The Express Configuration program uses two types of profiles:
ISDN profiles and User profiles.
ISDN Profiles
ISDN profiles contain configuration information for the ISDN line
such as Local Directory Numbers (LDNs), Service Profile Identifiers
(SPIDs), and Switch Type. Using the
isdn profile option of the Express
Configuration program, you can modify, create, and delete ISDN pro-
files. You can store up to 16 ISDN profiles. (See also Using Profiles on
page 3-7.)
User Profiles
User profiles contain configuration information for the many features
of the Express 3100 such as protocol selection, calling features, and a
call rejection phone list. Using the
user profile option of the Express
Configuration program, you can modify, create, and delete user pro-
files. You can store up to 16 user profiles. (See also Using Profiles on
page 3-7.)
Internet Access Protocols
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) supporting ISDN also support
PPP protocol. Therefore, if you are connecting to an ISP using one
B channel, select the following protocol:
profile setup/General/PPP
Mode/PPP . If arrangements have been made with the ISP to use two
B channels, select profile setup/General/PPP Mode/Multilink PPP .
User profiles have no effect on the ISDN line configuration.
ISDN line parameters including SPIDs, LDNs, and Switch
Type settings remain the same, regardless of changes or
applications made with profiles.
