options:
• Mobile

• PPP Negotiation
• QoS
• Sub-Configs

This PPP interface will use
If the PPP mappings have been set up previously using the PPP mappings page, this box will

Dial out using numbers
To allow the router to automatically make outgoing calls, the ISDN number must be
specified. The four text boxes allow four telephone numbers to be entered. The first one is
required, the others are optional and will be used in rotation. These numbers may be the
number of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or another router.
Prefix n to the dial out number
When making outgoing PPP calls, the value specified in this text box is inserted before the
actual number being called. This may be required if a PABX system is in use which requires
a prefix to be used in order to get an outside line. For example, when using AODI or BACP,
the remote peer may provide a number to be used for raising an additional B-channel to
increase the bandwidth. However, such a number will not normally include the digits needed
to connect to an outside line via a PABX.
Username
The value in this text box is the username to be used for MLPPP login.
Password
This is the password to be used for MLPPP login. This password is used for both B-channel
PPP connections.
Confirm password
Type the password in this text box to confirm that the password has been correctly typed in.
