DI-1162 Remote Access Router

RX) ever exceeds 80% of the 64kps (51.2kps), the router will sample the line for an additional 5 seconds. If the traffic continuously exceeds 80% for the 5 second delay time, WAN 2 will dial up and add bandwidth to the connection. Assuming sustained traffic of 70kps, MLPPP will balance the traffic on the two WAN ports so they are handling roughly 35kps each. If the traffic on WAN 1 + WAN 2 falls below 20% of the 128kps connection (25.6kps) for more than 10 seconds, WAN 2 will hang up and all traffic will be handled by WAN 1.

For the above configuration to work, both WAN ports need to have been properly setup to establish dial-out PPP connections, and have Multi-Link enabled. Also note that WAN 1, being the lowest numbered WAN port in the MLPPP bundle and thus the primary link, is not subject to the BOD Low Threshold parameter and will never hang up due to BOD considerations. The primary link can, however, be subject to Dial on Demand (DOD) settings, and could thus disconnect if Dial on Demand is enabled and the Idle Time parameter is met. Dial on Demand settings are located in the Advanced Functions, Dial Configuration submenu.
