UNDERSTANDING PROFILES
A profile stores and retrieves multiple configurations for the 
Express 3000. An individual profile contains unique settings appro-
priate to specific applications. Using the Express Configuration pro-
gram, profiles can be created, saved, copied, edited, and deleted. In 
addition, importing and exporting profiles simplifies troubleshooting 
and setup. The Express Configuration program uses two types of pro-
files: ISDN profiles and User profiles.
ISDN Profiles
ISDN profiles contain configuration information for the ISDN line 
such as Local Directory Numbers (LDNs), Service Profile Identifiers 
(SPIDs), and Switch Type. Using the 
isdn profile
 option of the Express 
Configuration program, you can modify, create, and delete ISDN pro-
files. You can store up to 16 ISDN profiles. (See also Using Profiles on 
page 3-7.
)
User Profiles
User profiles contain configuration information for the many features 
of the Express 3000 such as protocol selection, calling features, and a 
call rejection phone list. Using the 
user profile
 option of the Express 
Configuration program, you can modify, create, and delete user pro-
files. You can store up to 16 user profiles. (See also Using Profiles on 
page 3-7.
)
Internet Access Protocols
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) supporting ISDN also support 
PPP protocol. Therefore, if you are connecting to an ISP using one 
B channel, select the following protocol: 
profile setup/General/PPP 
Mode/PPP
.   If arrangements have been made with the ISP to use two 
B channels, select 
profile setup/General/PPP Mode/Multilink PPP
User profiles have no effect on the ISDN line configuration. 
ISDN line parameters including SPIDs, LDNs, and Switch 
Type settings remain the same, regardless of changes or 
applications made with profiles.
