Netopia 4542 Network Router User Manual


 
WAN and System Configuration 7-7
The default profile
If you are using RFC1483 datalink encapsulation, the Default Profile screen controls whether or not the ADSL
link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. (PPP datalink encapsulation does not
support a default profile, and the corresponding menu item is unavailable.) See “Connection Profiles” on
page 8-25 for more information.
You access the Default Profile screen from the Main Menu by selecting WAN Configuration and then selecting
Default Profile.
The Default Profile screen appears.
You can set Must Match a Defined Profile item to Yes or No (the default). This item controls whether or
not the ADSL link will come up without an explicitly configured connection profile. If your ISP is serving you
a dynamic IP Address, you need not explicitly configure a connection profile, and the default behavior of the
router will be to connect automatically once it is powered on.
