requirements. If you have one or more of these needs, use the System Configuration options described in the
later chapters.
■ Two or more outgoing connection profiles to connect to more than one remote location (for example, to
connect to the Internet and to a network at another office).
■ System Configuration of dynamic IP address distribution through DHCP, MacIP, or BootP.
■ Customized incoming call profile to control received calls.
■ Scheduled connections.
■ Greater network security through the use of filters, CallerID, callback, and SecurID.
■ System Configuration of AppleTalk LAN settings.
■ System Configuration of connections to AppleTalk networks through the Internet or any IP network, using
AURP (AppleTalk “tunneling”).
