STEP ONE

The bandwidth used by CyROS for multilink circuit calculations is that given in the traffic control menu, rather than the actual physical bandwidth available. If this bandwidth value is not set, the preset value (zero) will be used and the multilink circuit will not function. The bandwidth for both links (SWAN 1 and SWAN 2 in the example) should also have been set when the interface was configured. If not, the multilink circuit will not work. Since the bandwidth was probably not set when the link was configured, you should make sure the value is the desired one.

STEP TWO

Now, the primary link (Slot 1) and the secondary link (Slot 3) must be registered as a multilink circuit. First, a multilink circuit is created and assigned an identifier. This is done in the CONFIG =>MULTILINK menu. Then, the two links are added to the multilink circuit. The parameters used in the example for the two interfaces in this multilink circuit are shown in Figures 4.18 and 4.19.
