2
AnsOrig specifies whether the Pipeline initiates the connection, answers an
incoming call, or both. Both is the default.
3
When Callback is Yes, the Pipeline hangs up the incoming call and calls
back the remote end, using the Dial # specified in the Connection profile.
4
The Call Type parameter describes a type of link to a telecommunications
service. Switched is the most common, since it refers to almost all
connections that don’t use leased or dedicated lines. (See Networking Basics
on the Pipeline Companion CD for more information.)
5
Data Svc refers to the type of service the connection is using, such as 64
kbps, 56 Kbps, or voice. Force 56 is used to ensure that 56 Kbps is used end-
to-end, even if 64 Kbps is available, since some lines in Europe and the
Pacific Rim cannot use 64Kbps.
6
Bill # is the number (of all the numbers allocated to the service connected to
the Pipeline) to which the phone company bills for this connection.
Note:
For ISDN lines, this parameter is only functional in Australia.
Encapsulation options
PPP connections
A PPP connection uses PPP encapsulation on a single-channel call. To configure
a PPP connection, you must perform the following tasks:
• Determine the appropriate routing, authentication, and compression settings.
• Make sure that the PPP options in the Answer profile are configured.
• Configure the PPP connection in a Connection profile.
