PPP Authentication

It specifies the PPP authentication method for PPP/MP

 

connections. Normally you can set it to PAP/CHAP for better

 

compatibility.

TCP Header Compression

VJ Compression - It is used for TCP/IP protocol header

 

compression. Normally it is set to None to improve bandwidth

 

utilization.

Idle Timeout

Because our ISDN link type is “Dial On Demand”, the

 

connection will be initiated only when needed.

High Water Mark and

BOD stands for bandwidth-on-demand for Multiple-Link

High Water Time

PPP (ML-PPP or MP). High Water Mark/ High Water

 

Time/ Low Water Mark/Low Water Time parameters are

 

applied when you set the Link Type to Dialup BOD. The

 

ISDN usually uses one B channel to access the Internet or

 

remote network when you choose the Dialup BOD link type.

 

The router will use the parameters here to decide on when

 

you activate/drop the additional B channel. Note that cps

 

(characters-per-second) measures the total link utilization.

 

These parameters specify the situation in which the second

 

channel will be activated. With the first connected channel, if

 

its utilization exceeds the High Water Mark and such a

 

channel is being used over the High Water Time, the

 

additional channel will be activated. Thus, the total link

 

speed will be 128kbps (two B channels).

Low Water Mark and Low These parameters specify the situation in which the second

Water Timechannel will be dropped. In terms of the two B channels, if their utilization is under the Low Water Mark and these two channels are being used over the High Water Time, the additional channel will be dropped. As a result, the total link speed will be 64kbps (one B channel).

Note: If you are not sure whether your ISP can support BOD and/or ML-PPP’s features, please seek assistance from your ISP, local dealers or our website: support@draytek.com.
