provide all necessary information such as WAN IP Addr ess, Netmask, ISP
Gateway IP Address, DNS IP Address. Alternatively, the SMC7301TA users
can select to access the Internet via ISDN, which you need to apply for an
account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). The ISP will provide you with
a username and password that the ISP will use for authentication purposes,
and will also provide telephone numbers for dialing -up.
You need to enter such information into a “connection profile” in the
SMC7301TA. Likewise, a connection profile needs to be created fo r each
dial-in user, or for each remote office.
Essentially, a connection profile contains all the information that the
SMC7301TA needs to access the Internet for LAN users, or to support a
remote dial-in user, or to set up a connection with a remote o ffice. Such
information includes dial -up phone numbers, authentication information (the
local user name and password, and possibly the remote site user name and
password), plus other information that may be required for the
communication.
