17. To enable the Adaptive Rate Limiting feature, check the

Minimum box, and specify the minimum transmission rate. The
minimum transmission rate should be set to 92% of the
guaranteed minimum line rate, and should be less than or equal
to the maximum line rate.

18. Check the Set MTR box, and specify the maximum transmission

rate. The maximum transmission rate should be set to 92% of the
speed of the slowest network segment.

Adaptive Rate Limiting uses the minimum and maximum
trasnmission rates to dynamically determine bandwidth
allocation. If a minimum transmission rate is not set, or if it is set
to the same value as the maximum transmission rate, the
maximum transmission rate acts as a static rate limit for the
circuit.

19. Select the Enable Compression option to allow compression on

the circuit. Compression is limited by the license key for the node.

The Maximum Transmission Rate and compression features are
limited by the license key for the node. The MTR value cannot
exceed what is specified by the license key.

The IP Circuit Wizard Finish dialog box is displayed indicating
that you have successfully completed the steps to create a new IP
circuit between nodes 10 and 20.
