15.0 Profiles
Profiles is designed for users of multiple satellite devices and integrators of custom
installations. You can configure the Optimizer for a specific satellite device and save the
profile. This is good for failover situations when using multiple devices. An extreme
example would be that you might have the firewall wide open on a VSAT device but in
an emergency must use an Iridium handheld device where you want the full protection o
the Optimizer firewall. Have a profile for each configuration and select the appropirate
one for the satellite device being used.
To access Profile Manage, go to System > Profiles
There are two default profiles:
AccessPoint: This profile is used when linking two or more Optimizers together to
extend the satellite WiFi hotspot range. Using an ethernet connection between two
Optimizer with only one Optimizer connected to the satellite device, select this
AccessPoint Profile on each Optimizer that is NOT connected to the satellite device.
Factory: This profile will reset the Optimizer to factory defaults and all custom
configuration will be lost.
To create a Profile:
Adjust the router settings.
In Profile Manager select <Add>
