Aggregation

This field applies to ISDN connections only. Select

 

the aggregation method:

 

H221 – The standard communication protocol, in

 

which a different phone number is assigned to

 

each channel.

 

Bonding - A communication protocol that

 

aggregates from two up to thirty 64-kbps B

 

channels together to look like one large bandwidth

 

channel.

 

Multi-Rate– A communication protocol in which

 

channels are aggregated to form one dedicated

 

line. The MGC Manager currently supports

 

aggregation of 6 channels to form one line of 384-

network ensures that all six channels are

 

synchronized and there are no intervals between

 

the arrivals of the data packets.
