MultiLink (diConfigMultilink)
MultiLink enables a user to connect using multiple channels. This enables dial-up users whose equipment sup-
ports MultiLink PPP or multi-channel ISDN to use multiple channels to get higher data transfer rates.
Set the MultiLink - Max # of Calls per User parameter to the maximum number of channels a user can take for
a single connection. Setting the parameter to 0 disables the MultiLink option.
MultiBox (diConfigMMP)
MultiBox enables a user to have multiple connections even if the subsequent call for an additional channel is on
a different access server from the originating channel (bundlehead). MultiBox is useful when a single number
called by a user accesses multiple T1/E1s and subsequently different access servers.
Setting the MultiBox - Query timeout parameter to enable(1) activates the MultiBox option. Setting the param-
eter to disable(0) disables the MultiBox option. If MultiBox is disabled, then acquiring an additional channel
will fail if the bundlehead is not on the same access server.
Modify Maximum Time
This portion of the Dial In Modify window (see figure 28 on page 73) describes modifying the time-out values
for the session idle time, time to login, and the MIB data linger time.
Maximum Session Time (min) (diSessionTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in minutes) that a connection is allowed to be maintained. After this time the con-
nection will be terminated, even if there is active traffic on the connection. This is a default setting, and it can
be overridden by the authentication settings of a specific user. Setting the parameter to 0 means the connection
will never be terminated.
Note The maximum value is 357,910 minutes.
Maximum Idle Time (min) (diIdleTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in minutes) that a connection is allowed to be idle with no traffic. After this time,
the connection will be terminated. This is a default setting, and it can be overridden by the authentication set-
tings of a specific user.
Note The maximum value is 357,910 minutes.
Time to login (sec) (diLoginTimeout)
This is the maximum time (in seconds) that a user is given to log in. This only applies to the time before the
user is authenticated. This setting should take into account any time delays incurred when querying a remote
authentication server (such as a RADIUS).
Call History Timeout (min) (diLingerTime)
Number of minutes a MIB entry will remain in the Active table after the call it pertains to is disconnected. Up
to 15 dead calls can be displayed. Setting the parameter to 0 disables the timeout feature.
