Configuring Multilink PPP
Multilink PPP is a protocol which provides a method for
combining multiple PPP connections. Multilink PPP combines
the two ISDN B channels, creating a virtual single digital
connection of up to 128 Kbps. Note that the destination you
are dialing must also support Multilink PPP, or the
dual-channel link will not occur and you will get a single
B channel connection.
By default, Multilink PPP is enabled. To enable or disable
Multilink PPP, do the following:
1 Click inside the Multilink check box in the PPP area to
clear it (disable) or check it (enable).
2 Click the Update Configuration button to download the
change to your 3C882 ISDN modem’s S register.
Additional configuration may be needed for Multilink PPP. For
details refer to S registers 82 and 83 in Appendix B.
