Important
If you have selected a Streaming connection as your Primary Profile, the USB
interface will be running a Streaming connection until you select another
Profile or disconnect the interface. However, if you select one or more
Secondary Profiles, you can set up your Traffic Flow Template so that it will only
use the Streaming Profile for certain types of traffic.
Note
If you have selected both a Primary and one or more Secondary Profiles you
must define a Traffic Flow Template before you can establish a valid
connection.
