You need to enter such information into a “connection profile” in the AcerRouter 700. Likewise, a connection profile needs to be created for each dial-in user, each remote office, or each VPN user.Essentially, a connection profile contains all information that the AcerRouter needs toaccess the Internet, or support a remote dial-in user, or set up a connection with a remote office, or create a VPN. Such information includes dial-up phone numbers, authentication information (the local user name and password and possibly the remotesite user name password), plus other information that may be required for the communication.Configuring A Basic Internet Access ProfileYou will find that the AcerRouter 700 is optimized for Basic Internet Access.
