6-2 C HAPTER 6: M ANUAL SETUPRemote SiteManagement Each remote site that you want to connect to is accessed through a single ATMVirtual Channel connection. To set up connections over the WAN, a VC (remotesite) profile must be created and edited. With this profile, you specify ATM VirtualChannel information, protocols, and addresses that determine the method ofconnection and communication to that remote site.You create VC profiles using the add vc command (e.g., add vc Internet willcreate a profile called “Internet”), and then you modify the profile using set vccommands to setup the WAN connection and network information. The followinglist summarizes the necessary information.WAN - Network Service (PPP/RFC 1483) information, ATM VC informationIP - IP addresses, address translation tables, static routes, RIP usage.IPX - IPX network address information, static routes and services, RIP usage.Bridging - Enable or disable bridging to the remote site.If you need to connect to multiple remote sites (i.e., the Internet and a remoteoffice) you should set up a remote site profile for each location.Remember to save your configuration using the save all command beforerebooting your OfficeConnect Remote 812 so that your changes will be written topermanent FLASH memory.Managing a Remote Site n You can obtain a list of all currently configured VC profiles using the command:list vcsn You can view the contents of a particular profile using the command:show vc The OfficeConnect Remote 812 always has a default profile. Any value that is notset in a profile that you create will assume the values that are present in thedefault profile. The default profile can not be created or deleted, but it can bemodified using the set vc command.n You can view the default profile using the command:show vc defaultVC profiles can be enabled or disabled. When a profile is enabled using the enablevc command, the OfficeConnect Remote 812 reads the connection parameters forthe remote site from the profile and continuously attempts to establish aconnection to the remote site. When a profile is disabled using the disable vccommand, the connection will be terminated and no other data will be directed tothe remote site. Configuration changes to a remote site profile do not take effectuntil the next time the profile is enabled. Thus, if you want to make changes to theprofile you should disable the profile, make your changes, and then re-enable theprofile.n For example, if you want to change the PPP authentication password totestpassword for a profile called Internet you would do the following:
