CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

Step 10: Select Multilink PPP to be on or off.

The default of Multilink PPP is off.

If Multilink PPP is off, the router is limited to using only one B-channel, never both channels simultaneously.

If Multilink PPP is on, the router may use both B-channels simultaneously, which increases the speed of the router but also increases long distance line costs.

Type a number for the Fragment Size. This number represents the minimum size of data (in bytes) that can be fragmented during multilink operations. The defualt and recommended value for this field is 0.

Step 11: Setup IP Assignment Options.

For Local IP Assignment, the default and recommended value is Negotiable, which allows an IP address to be assigned to the selected router by the remote device, if necessary. Fixed does not allow an IP address to be assigned.

For Remote IP Address, select to enable/disable this option. If enabled, the selected router will assign the IP address (from the field next to the check box) to any remote device calling in. If a remote device will not accept the assignment, that device will not gain access to the router. The IP address should be a number in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where each xxx is a number ranging from 1 to 255.

You have finished configuring the Point to Point Protocol.
