•The Internet PPP protocol is for connecting to Internet and other communications servers at 64 kilobits per second. Only one B-channel is used, leaving the other free (if supplied by your ISDN service provider) for a different data transfer operation or a voice or fax call.

•BOD means Bandwith on Demand. BOD first establishes a 1B (64K) data channel and waits until data traffic is over the value specified in ATS53 (see Chapter 3 for more information about AT commands). When data traffic goes over this default value (or the value set in the user-specified AT command), BOD establishes a second B channel and bundles it to a 128K communication link for better performance. BOD allows greater flexibility in handling voice and data calls simultaneously.

Bandwidth on demand is very useful where ISDN access is charged for by the minute, since the second B- channel is only used when the volume on the first B-channel has exceeded a threshold value for a certain period of time.

Before BOD activates all three of the following conditions must be met:

•Average data traffic is lower than the value (ATS53) in a specific period (ATS54)

•User wants to make an outgoing voice call (picks up the handset)

•There is an incoming voice call (ring signal on an analog telephone device)
