Using your Eicon 1550/1551 49
Creating and Editing Profiles
Settings for particular connections are contained in profiles on the Eicon 1550/1551.
However, when you change protocols for the VHSI interface, all profile information is
lost. To avoid having to re-enter configuration information, choose the protocol first, as
described in Changing the VHSI Port Protocol on page 47.
Once your protocol is configured properly, you need to create connection profiles. The
following procedure illustrates how profiles are created and modified when the protocol
is set to X.25. The procedure is the same for other protocols.
When creating profiles, refer to Limits on Creating Profiles on page 22, for important
information.
Procedure
1. Log in to the Eicon 1550/1551 as described in Accessing the Configuration Menu
on page 42.
2. From the main menu, click the ‘Connection’ link. The ‘Connection Profiles’ page
appears.
It should currently state ‘Create profile’ as no profiles have been defined yet.
3. To add a profile, enter the name in the ‘Name’ field, then click ‘Done’.
