Configuring WAN Connections

Connection profiles

Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 1-21

Link Comp=Stac

VJ Comp=Yes

Configure the bandwidth options.

For example:

Dyn Alg=Quadratic

Sec History=15

Add Pers=5

Sub Pers=10

Target Util=70

Set the Idle Pct parameter.

For example:

Idle Pct=0

When this parameter is set to 0, the Idle parameter is used instead.

You can set Split Code.User to Yes so that multiple users on your LAN can

use a token card to authenticate with a central server. The server must be

using an Ascend RADIUS authentication server using CACHE-TOKEN-

CHAP. (See more about this parameter in the Reference Guide.)

Close and save the Connection profile.

BACP connections

Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) is an industry standard that adds

or removes bandwidth as needed. To use BACP, do the following:

Open Ethernet > Answer > PPP Options and set BACP to Yes.

For example:

PPP options...

Route IP=Yes

Route IPX=N/A

Bridge=N/A

Recv Auth=None

MRU=1524

LQM=No

LQM Min=600

LQM Max=600

Link Comp=Stac

VJ Comp=Yes
