Changing Data Call
Parameters
This section explains how to configure Data Call Parameter settings. The data call
parameters consist of Timeout Values for both automatic and manual calls, as well
as Bandwidth on Demand Parameters for Multilink calls.
The Timeout Values are a useful means of controlling bandwidth efficiently while
keeping telephone usage and Internet access costs down. If there is no network
activity on a call for a specified amount of time, the call is automatically
disconnected.
The Bandwidth on Demand Parameters allow you to change the threshold (%)
and time delays for adding and dropping the second modem channel of a
Multilink call.
A description of each setting is provided, followed by the configuration steps for
making changes. The Data Call Parameters window is shown in Figure 50.
