(4) Bonding Channel Cards in Two-Channel Card Systems
This section provides, as an example, detailed instructions on how to make bonded
calls with a two-channel card HSD transceiver using a DIVA T/A ISDN modem.
Bonded calls are possible with HSD transceivers that have two channel cards
installed. Bonded calls utilize both 64 kbps channels to provide a single 128 kbps data
channel. The terminal adapter or router places two separate calls to combine the data
transfer over both channels.
Although bonded calls provide a single 128 kbps channel, the actual link capacity is
application and protocol dependant. Throughput on a Multilink PPP TCP/IP
connection is typically 80 to 90 % of the link capacity (running Windows 2000®).
The system can only make internally bonded calls if both channels are available. If
another device is using one of the B Channels, then the data call proceeds—but as
a single channel call.
If a bonded call is in progress, (using both B channels) the system is busy and denies
all other calls until a channel is free.
In Multi-Channel configurations, the HSD transceiver channel cards cannot be
internally bonded together with the HSD-X channel cards installed on the system;
however, a Multi-Channel configuration, that includes an HSD-128 and two HSD-X
extensions, is capable of up to 256 kbps data throughput—with the help of an external
device such as a router or Ethernet hub.
(a) Bonding HSD Channel Cards using the ISDN Interface
If the HSD Transceiver has two channel cards, bonded calls provide the potential
for higher throughput. For bonded calls, configure the terminal adapter and
connections to use Multilink PPP as the protocol.
Note: Not all Internet service providers support Multi-link PPP. Contact your
service provider for more information.
If a bonded call is in progress, (using both B channels) the system is busy and
denies all other calls until a channel is free.
