Creating a new Connection Profile
Connection Profiles define the telephone and networking protocols necessar y for the router to make a remote
connection. A Connection Profile is like an address book entr y describing how the router is to get to a remote
site, or how to recognize and authenticate a remote user dialing in to the router. For example, 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 R2121 Dual Analog Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16.

example: the name of your ISP.
2. Toggle the Profile Enabled value to Yes or No. The default is Yes.
3. Select IP Profile Parameters and press Return. The IP Profile Parameters screen appears.
