Configuring Modem Pooling
Use modem pooling to define, select, and use separate pools of modems within a single access server
to enable different dial-in services for different customers. The primary application is to allocate
specific modems based on called party numbers and a predetermined number of modem ports based
on Dialed Number Information Service (DNIS).
If you do not configure any modem pools, all the modems are placed into a single pool. There is no
restriction on the number of modem pools that you can configure. A pool can contain a minimum of
one modem and a maximum equal to all the modems in the system.
This section briefly shows how to set up a minimum configuration. For detailed information on using
this feature, refer to the command reference documents shipped with your access server.
Note To support modem pooling over channelized T1 lines, make sure you have configured the
lines as described in the section “Configuring Channelized T1 or E1.” If you are using R2 signaling
over channelized E1, you do not need any special configuration options because DNIS information
is always collected.
