Chapter 5: Configuration

BONDING SETUP

The ISU 512 communicates with many different types of telecommunication equipment including other ISU 512s, ISDN terminal adapters, Switched 56 DSUs, and BONDING mode 1-compatible inverse multiplexers. The ISU 512 supports the BONDING mode 1 (Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability Group) adaptation protocol.

See Recommended Operating Protocols in this chapter for more information on recommended modes of operation.

The BONDING mode 1 protocol allows the ISU 512 to communicate at bit rates in excess of 64 kbps to a maximum of 512 kbps. BONDING provides high- speed communication between ISU 512s, ISDN TE/TAs, and inverse multi- plexing equipment supporting the BONDING protocol. The protocol allows use of synchronous bit rates. When the ISU 512 uses the BONDING mode 1 protocol, up to eight separate ISDN phone calls are required to seize control of all ISDN bearer channels. The protocol corrects any delays existing between the bearer channels and presents a single high-speed data channel to the DTE. For successful high-speed operation, both the near and far-end DCE need to be configured to use the BONDING mode 1 protocol. The BONDING mode 1 protocol negotiation phase has numerous timers to allow transmission delays due to satellite hops, international calls, etc.

TXINIT

This option specifies the length of time the originating endpoint attempts to detect the BONDING negotiation pattern from the answering endpoint before deciding the BONDING call has failed. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. Select from values of 1, 2, 5, 10 (default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds.
