Connection Profiles
Since you will probably only have a single connection to your ISP over the DSL link, you may not need to create
multiple connection profiles. Multiple connection profiles are useful on leased (unswitched) inter faces such as
DSL only to suppor t meshed WAN connections. If you do not intend to set up meshed WAN connections, you do
not need to create multiple connection profiles.
Connection profiles may be used to define the connection information for your WAN Auxiliar y Por t access.
Connection Profiles define the line 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

WAN Configuration
screen from the Main Menu, and select Add
