Motorola Netopia® Router Connection Profile Commands 3-15
cp { name index } ppp authentication { send receive } password string
This command allows you to configure the send or receive PPP authentication password (or secret) associated with the send or receive names.
cp { name index } ppp usage { 1 2 [preemptible] [dynamic] }
This command allows you to configure the characteristics of how the channels of the interface are used. The number indicates the maximum number of channels to use.
If you specify the keyword preemptible and more than one channel is being used for the connection, additional calls (both data and voice, when applicable) may borrow a channel for their own use.
If you specify the keyword dynamic channels are added and removed from the connection based on bandwidth usage. If traffic exceeds a certain threshold for a certain amount of time, and if there is a free channel available, it will be used for the connection. Conversely, if more than one channel is being used by the connection and traffic drops below a certain level for a certain amount of time, a channel will be dropped.
The keywords dynamic and preemptible may be specified only if the number of channels is 2.
Note: With the current firmware, a dynamic 2B Channel profile will also be preemptible, regardless of whether or not the preemptible keyword is specified.
Examples:
These examples illustrate all forms of the command that you are likely to use:
cp 1 ppp usage 1
cp 1 ppp usage 2
cp 1 ppp usage 2 preemptible
cp 1 ppp usage 2 dynamic
cp { name index }
This command allows you to enable or disable the automatic detection of Frame Relay DLCIs when the profile is used to establish a WAN connection.
cp { name index } frame relay dlci
This command allows you to specify the DLCI multicast number for the profile.
cp { name index } telco direction { in out both }
This command allows you to set whether this profile will be used to establish WAN connections (keyword out), to establish inbound connections (keyword in), or to establish both (keyword both).
