Dialing with Multilink PPP

When you establish a Multilink PPP connection, each B-channel connects to a remote-directory number. In some ISDN implementations, each B-channel connects to a unique number. If this is the case, enter both numbers and separate them with the character ‘~’ or ‘&’. For example, to make a Multilink PPP connection to the numbers 555 1134 and 555 1135, enter them as follows: 5551134~5551135.

For each telephone number, the maximum number of dialed digits is 40. The symbols # and * count as digits; punctuation (spaces, hyphens, periods, parentheses) and alphabetic digits (P, T, W, @, R) are ignored.

Using the " Symbol as a Shortcut

If you are dialing more than one number you can use the " symbol (the straight double-quote symbol) as a shortcut. For example, if you want to dial 8323005 and 8323006, you could simply type:

ATD8323005&"6

All numbers not specified in the second string are assumed to be the same as the first number. The two sets of numbers are assumed to have the same length.

Respect the following rules:

•The " symbol cannot be used alone

•The first B-channel must be specified first, before "

•The " symbol must directly follow the ‘&’ or ‘~’ symbols

•An X.25 DTE address can be specified, but should never count as the first number. The following example does not work:

ATDX8323000&"2

However, the following example does work: ATDX8323000&8323001&"2
