CONFIGURING WITH A LOCAL CONSOLE

Task 4: Configuring the PPP Manager

From the Setup Menu,

Press 3

to configure the PPP Manager.

The prompt

PPP Multilink : [Disabled]

will appear at the bottom of the video display.

The default of PPP Multilink is Disabled.

Pressing the spacebar switches between Disabled and
Enabled.

Choices:

• Enabled allows both B-channels to be used

simultaneously to increase the speed of the router. But this
also increases long distance line costs.

• Disabled permits only one B-channel to operate at a

time.

Press the Enter key when you are ready to continue.
