Set Maximum Number of Neighbor/Remote Proﬁles

A neighbor/remote proﬁle describes a possible connection. The maximum should be set to account

for support of PPP Multilink. If PPP Multilink is used, then the number of proﬁles must

accommodate the maximum possible number of additional “more BW” connections/calls desired.

Consequently, each neighbor proﬁle would then describe a possible connection to the same remote

end point (user). In the example, two proﬁles will be set up for the ﬁrst ISDN interface. This means

that this ISDN interface can be used to connect (call) two different end users or the same end user

twice (e.g., Multilink). The default is one proﬁle per ISDN interface.

Use the Network Tools command:

setmaxproﬁles [IFACENUM] [MAXPROFILESNUM]

Example: To set two proﬁles for ISDN interface #4 issue the command:

setmaxproﬁles 4 2

Conﬁgure the Proﬁles

Conﬁgure the proﬁles and specify phone numbers for backup interfaces. Use Local Management

to conﬁgure BoD (submenu of the proﬁles menu) and enable using MLP if desired. Refer to

Remote Profiles Setup for details.

Verify Status

Use the Network Tools command idsnstat to verify the D channel status; it should read active. The

isdnstat command is used to display the ISDN settings, including the switch type, LDNs, SPIDs,

and the operational status of the D channel. This command is normally used to verify that the

switch and the HSIM or CyberSWITCH are working properly. If the settings are not correct, or the

D channel is not operational, the situation must be corrected before continuing the conﬁguration.

The connection must be operational or the backup conﬁguration will not work.

isdnstat [WANPORTNUM]

NOTES

Set max proﬁles, total proﬁles to allow multilink (QuickSET does this automatically).

Multilink is dynamic and will automatically create an interface to support the link.
