4-54 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Configuring MP, MP+ and BACP connections
Note: If a RADIUS profile does not specify Ascend-Maximum-Channels, the default value
of 1 prevents the client from establishing a multichannel call.
Example of MP+ configuration
Figure 4-3 shows the MAX unit connected to a remote Pipeline unit with an MP+ connection.
Figure4-3. An MP+ connection
To configure an MP+ connection with a remote MAX unit:
1Open the Answer profile.
2Set PPP and MP+ encapsulation to Yes and specify the appropriate routing, bridging, and
authentication values. For example:

5Select MP+ encapsulation and set the MP+ authentication options. For example:
Ascend-Remove-Seconds
(241) Number of seconds for which the ALU must persist below the
Target-Utilization threshold before the unit subtracts bandwidth.
Ascend-Target-Util (234) Percentage of line utilization (default 70%) to use as a threshold
when determining when to add or s ubtract bandwidth.
Ascend-Maximum-Chan
