Description
A profile is a collection of already defined PAD parameter settings for a virtual connection, similar to the profiles that can be defined for the general configuration of the modem. With the PROF command, one of four standard profiles can be selected, or a particular configuration can be defined and saved as a profile in nonvolatile memory. The V-series Emulation Profile (VSM) is automatically set if feature negotiation causes an error-control/LAPB connection on virtual channel 1 (error-control/LAPB connections always use virtual channel 1). The configuration profile returns to factory settings when the modem hangs up.

To create a profile, use the CHAN command to move to the desired channel. For example, issue CHAN3 <CR> to move to channel 3. At the prompt, type in the PAD parameters you want to adjust and store, issuing them with <CR>. To save the settings as a profile, issue PROF SAV <CR>.
