LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Changing Capi 2.0/ISDN performance in LapLink, Answering calls

. . . Changing CAPI 2.0/ISDN performance in LapLink

To change CAPI 2.0/ISDN performance in LapLink:

1On the Options menu, click Port Setup.

2Under Port Settings, click CAPI.

3Click the Configure button.

4If you do not want LapLink to answer any incoming CAPI 2.0/ISDN calls, clear the Enable box under Auto Answer.

To answer calls to only one number, type the number in this box: Accept Calls Only on the Following Numbers.

5If you want to combine the two CAPI 2.0/ISDN channels for faster connections, check the Enable box under Channel Bonding.

Be sure that channel bonding is also enabled on the computer you will connect to.

6Customize the Timeout options as necessary.

The Callback Timeout, Callback Delay, and Redial Delay settings are specified in seconds.

7Click OK.

Answering calls

By default, LapLink is set up to answer all incoming CAPI 2.0/ISDN calls on both channels. You can modify this so that it does not answer any of these calls or it answers calls to just one of the channels.

TIP If you don’t want LapLink to answer any incoming calls, clear the Enable box under Auto Answer; then make sure that the Accept Calls Only on the Following Numbers box is blank.

TIP When typing the number to accept calls to, use only numerals; avoid characters like dashes, parentheses, slants, and periods. When typing more than one number, use a semicolon to separate them.

Channel bonding

CAPI 2.0/ISDN provides two channels that can be used for LapLink communications. Each channel has a transmission speed of 64 Kbps. By combining (“bonding”) these chan- nels, the transmission rate can double to 128 Kbps.

By default, LapLink does not use channel bonding, even when both channels are available. This setting keeps trans- mission costs to a minimum for users who pay additional fees for each channel connection.

For faster transmissions, enable channel bonding. When both channels are available, LapLink can then transmit at speeds up to 128 Kbps.

TIP Be sure to enable channel bonding on both comput- ers. LapLink may not be able to make a connection between them otherwise.

TIP When one channel is already in use, LapLink uses the available channel to transmit at 64 Kbps, even when channel bonding is enabled.
