This screen facilitates the changing of connection profile parameters. The following settings are displayed.
Edit Connection Profiles
Connection Name This field is a description of the default connection profile that the Router will
use. Feel free to use whatever description you desire.
Account ID Your account ID is supplied by your ISP. This text string uniquely identifies
you with your ISP.
Account Password The Account Password is a key phrase or text string that verifies your identity to
the ISP.
Service Profile The Router stores several service profiles. A service profile is a collection of
settings for the built-in firewall and NAT. These settings control which
applications are enabled to talk through the Router. This selection specifies
which service profile is used when the Router is using this connection.
Manual/Auto/Always ON These radio buttons specify how this connection profile is used. A manual
setting requires that this connection must be manually established through the
“homepage” connection button. When this is set to auto, the Router will monitor
the network traffic and determine when a connection needs to be made. The
connection process will happen automatically the “Always ON” selection causes
the Router to aggressively establish a connection with your ISP. Whenever the
Router detects that the connection to your ISP is down, it will try to re-establish
that connection.
Time Out
Enable/Connection Time

Selecting this option will enable the disconnect timeout. If this option is enabled
the Router will monitor the ISP connection for activity. If there is no activity for
the timeout period, the Router will disconnect from the ISP.

screen can cause severe disruption of your service. VC stands for “Virtual

network to your ISP. It is not recommended that you change anything on these
pages unless explicitly instructed by your service provider.
