Fields in Menu 11.2 - Remote Node PPP Options

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

 

Encapsulation

 

Select CCP (Compression Control Protocol) for the PPP or MP link. Two options

 

 

are available in this field:

 

 

• Standard PPP—Standard PPP options are used (default).

 

 

• CISCO PPP—Cisco Systems PPP options are used.

 

 

 

Compression

 

Allows the negotiation of data compression with the remote node router.

 

 

Multiple Link Options:

 

BOD Calculation

Select the direction of the traffic you want to calculate in order to determine when

 

 

to add or subtract a link. The default for this field is Transmit or Receive.

Base Trans Rate

Select the base data transfer rate for this remote node. This parameter is in

 

 

kilobits per second (Kbps). Two options are available for this field:

 

 

• 64—Only one channel will be used (default).

 

 

• 128—Two channels will be used when a packet triggers a call.

Max Trans Rate

Enter the maximum data transfer rate allowed for this remote node. This

 

 

parameter is in kilobits per second. There are two options for this field:

 

 

• 64—At most, one channel can be used (default).

 

 

• 128—A maximum of two channels can be used.

Target Utility

 

Enter the two thresholds separated by a hyphen ( - ) for subtracting and adding

 

 

the second channel. The default is 32-48.

Add Persist

 

This parameter specifies the number of seconds that traffic must be above the

 

 

adding threshold before the router brings up the second channel. The default is

 

 

5 seconds.

This parameter specifies the number of seconds that traffic must be below the

 

 

subtraction threshold before the router drops the second channel. The default is
