Number Assignment (models without phone ports)

If your DIVA T/A is equipped with phone ports, see “Number Assignment (models with phone ports)” on page 44.

Within the Number Assignment group box, you can assign a previously configured number or numbers to your data ports for all your data connections. If you select a specific number for your data connections, you can then monitor the charges for your data calls. It is also helpful if your ISDN Service Provider offers a discount on all calls made to a favorite number.

the protocol is set to ‘MultiLink PPP‘, ‘MultiLink PPP with BACP‘, or ‘MultiLink

Allocation (DBA)

with AODI‘.

 

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) activates the DIVA T/A’s Phone Line

 

control for Multilink PPP connections. When activated, this function enables you

 

to initiate or receive telephone calls on your regular (non-ISDN) telephone

 

without interrupting your Multilink PPP connection.

 

The DBA function releases one B-channel, as required for phone calls, without

 

interrupting the data link. When the call is over, DBA automatically

 

re-establishes the Multilink PPP session by reconnecting the second B-channel,

 

if the throughput requires it.
