Creating New Profiles
Create a connection profile to store important information about your Raritan device, such as IP Address,
custom TCP ports, preferred compression settings, and custom security keys. A profile is required to access
devices outside your subnet, and for devices accessed via dial-up connection.
Individual users can create individual personal profiles, that is, profiles are not shared amongst multiple
users. The profile enables each user to set up a personalized connection.
Note: If your Raritan device is configured to use a custom TCP port (see Chapter 4: Administrative
Functions, Network Configuration), or a group security key (see Chapter 4: Administrative Functions,
System-Level Security Parameters), first create a connection profile so you can access the device.
1. There are two ways to create a profile. For devices automatically discovered, right-click on the device
name in the RRC Navigator and select Add Profile from the shortcut menu. For other devices, on the
Connection menu, click New Profile. The Add Connection dialog appears. Options are grouped into
three tabs.

− Description: Type a text name that identifies the Raritan device you are configuring, such as
“Atlanta_Datacenter.” This name will identify the device in the RRC Navigator.
− Connection Type: Select TCP/IP Connection for a LAN/WAN connection, or select Dial-Up
Connection for a direct analog modem connection to the Raritan device.
For a TCP/IP Connection, select the option button before the method by which RRC should locate
your Raritan device:
− IP Address: Type the IP address assigned to your Raritan device (see Chapter 4: Administrative
Functions, Network Configuration).
− Name: Type the name assigned to your Raritan device during initial setup (see Chapter 4:
Administrative Functions, Network Configuration).
− DNS Name: If you have configured your DNS server to resolve a DNS name to the IP address
that you have assigned to your Raritan device, type the DNS name.
