Maximum Ports

Sets the maximum number of ports the NETServer can use for a single connection to the remote location. Use the following command:

set location <location name> maxports <0 .. 16>

0(default) disable dialout to the location.

1Use only one port for a connection. This setting must be used if the remote device is not another NETServer.

2+ When the number of bytes queued for the remote location exceeds the High Water Mark, another line will be added to the connection if it is available.

Additional setup for multiple line connections

A NETServer on the answering end of a connection must receive each incoming call on a different line even though the other NETServer is dialing the same number every time (there is only one dial script per location). There are two ways to accomplish this:

The first is to have a single phone number on the receiving end of the connection set up on a hunt group. A hunt group routes calls through a single phone number out to the first available line.
