MAX profiles
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 2-7
A PPTP session occurs between the MAX and a Windows NT server over a special TCP
control channel. Either end might initiate a PPTP session and open the TCP control channel.
Note that opening a PPTP session does not mean that a call is active. It simply means that a call
can be placed and received.
MAX profiles
A profile is a group of related parameters and always appears as a menu item in the VT100
interface. Many profiles contain subprofiles, which are, essentially, submenus within a profile.
Whether a profile is called a profile or a subprofile depends on the context because almost any
profile can be considered a subprofile in some sense.
To access a profile, you must have the necessary privileges. To activate a profile so that its
settings take effect, you need further privileges.
Obtaining privileges to use the profiles
As explained in the Installation and Basic Configuration Guide, privileges are often required
for changing settings in MAX profiles. To activate a profile, for example, you need full
privileges. Unless you have a personal profile that grants full privileges, you must activate the
Full Access profile. Proceed as follows:
1 At the Main Edit Menu, press Ctrl-D.
The Main Edit Menu’s DO menu appears.
2 Select P (Password).
3 Press Enter or the Right Arrow key.
The Security menu appears, displaying a list of Security profiles.
4 Select Full Access.
5 Press Enter or the Right Arrow key.
A password-entry field appears.
6 Enter your password within the brackets.
7 Press Enter or the Right Arrow key.
If your password is accepted, you have Full Access privileges.
8 Press Enter.
The Main Edit Menu reappears.
Activating a profile
When you have full privileges, you can make a profile active. Proceed as follows:
1 Open the profile that you want to make current.
2 Press Ctrl-D.
The profile’s DO menu appears.
3 Select L (Load).
The Load Profile.... menu appears.
