Connection profile information
The To define a connection to a remote device, you configure a Connection profile.
Connection profiles are in the Ethernet > Connections menu. To test the system, you can set up
two kinds of connections:
•
A Connection profile for a remote device (such as an Ascend Pipeline) that dials in with
its own IP address.
•
A Connection profile for a remote device (such as a modem) that accepts a dynamically
assigned address.
Table 3-7 lists the parameters you use for creating a connection to a remote device. As you
gather the necessary information, you can record your settings in the middle column. For this
Quickstart, you can leave all other parameters in the Connection profile at their default values.
For detailed information about the parameters in the following table, see the Reference Guide
for your MAX.
Length
If your MAX does not have an internal CSU,
enter the cable length from the CSU or other
network interface to the MAX.
