5. Set the Low BB_Credit Threshold.
Note: Using default settings for Low BB_Credit Threshold should work well in most
cases. This step is not required.
This is the percentage of time that the transmitting link has no BB_Credit.
This value is also used when determining routes for a transmit link. An ISL
that has no BB_Credit for longer than this time percentage cannot be the
recipient of traffic rerouted from other ISLs. Traffic on this ISL may be
rerouted by Open Trunking, even if the ISL is not congested.
— Click Default Threshold and a default value (1 to 99%) will appear in the
threshold field. If the default is enabled, you cannot enter values into the
field.
— Click in the threshold field and enter a value from 1 to 99.
6. Click Activate to enable these values on the director and close the dialog box.
