CHAPTER 8 DATA-LINK PROTOCOLS (ENCAPSULATION)
Each encapsulation option is presented in a separate section in this chapter. Not all
PPP (The Point-to-Point Protocol)
PPPis the only encapsulation option than can be either synchronous or asynchronous. It is important to choose between them in CONFIG =>INTERFACE =><LINK> =>PHYSICAL before entering the Encapsulation menu. The menu options depend on this choice. (Note: not all interfaces support both the synchronous and asynchronous modes. In this case, there is no physical menu.)

Parameter | Description |
MLPPP | Enables Multilink PPP on this interface. MLPPP is described in the CyROS |
| Reference Guide for each interface that supports it. |
Leased, | Applies for MLPPP = Yes. Type of line used on this link. |
Identification for This Bundle | Applies for MLPPP = Yes and |
Total Number of lines for | Applies for MLPPP = Yes. Maximum number of links allowed in the bundle. |

|
PPP Inactivity Timeout | Applies to asynchronous connections only. The connection is closed when data |
| does not pass through the line for this period of time. |
Enable Van Jacobson IP | Allows the link to receive compressed packets. This type of compression is |
Header Compression | useful for |
| links, as it requires CPU time. |
Transmit Compressed | Applies when Enable Van Jacobson IP Header Compression is Yes. This |
Packets | parameter causes the link to send compressed packets. |
