DIALING WITH MULTILINK PPP

If you intend to establish a Multilink PPP connection, contact your Information Services department or Internet Service Provider to ascertain whether you will need one or two remote numbers to properly set up both B-channels.

To establish a Multilink PPP connection, each B-channel requires a remote directory number to connect to. Depending upon your ISDN implementation, the two numbers may differ, or be identical. If the numbers differ, the “~” or “&” character must be used to separate the numerical strings on the dial line. Otherwise, only a single number is input to connect both B-channels.
