accept an incoming call through or when a second connec- tion profile is used to make a call. See Appendix D for infor- mation on “Dynamic B-channel usage”.

■ 1 B-Channelforces a call to remain within one B-channel. (Throughput will generally be at either 56k or 64k, depend- ing on how the local telephone company installs your ISDN line. This will also depend on certain geographic locations in North America. The standard ISDN data rate outside of North America is 64k.)

■ 2 B-Channelsforces a call to use both B-channels. (Throughput connection will generally run at 128k.)

■ 2 B Pre-emptableallows calls to use 2 B-channels in a dynamic, Pre-emptable manner. This option is very similar to Dynamic, in that the second B-channel may be relin- quished to accept an incoming call or to initiate a second outgoing call. However, 2B Pre-emptable will always try to add a second B-channel to the call when the second chan- nel is otherwise unused, much like a fixed 2 B-channel selection.

 

Note: If you select Dynamic or 2 B, Pre-emptable while using

 

PPP/MP, the Netopia Router may attempt to use both

 

B-channels during a call. However, during a call, your second

 

B-channel may be blocked from use if the answering side drops

 

that B-channel before you begin sending data over it. The

 

Netopia Router will try four times to bring up the second

 

B-Channel; if all attempts fail and you wish to retry, end the call

 

and reinitiate it.
