Configuring bandwidth parameters
A MAX unit can allocate WAN bandwidth dynamically. When establishing a connection, the
unit opens the number of channels you specify as the base number of channels. It can add or
remove channels as required by the amount of traffic. You specify the increment by which the
unit adds channels and the decrement by which it removes channels. You need to further
fine-tune the channel allocation routine to avoid keeping channels active unnecessarily but also
avoid closing them too quickly. (Typically, you incur a minimum charge for opening a new
channel.) You can choose the algorithm to use for dynamic channel allocation. Also, each of
the available algorithms is based on the Average Line Utilization (ALU), and you can set
parameters that affect the calculation of ALU.
To configure bandwidth parameters for a WAN connection, open a call profile in the
Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory menu, and set the following parameters:

Configuring Host/AIM6 and Host/Dual ports
Specifies
A value supplied by the provider of your PRI line so that the switch
can properly interpret the telephone number dialed.
A dialing prefix the MAX uses when making an outbound call. You
can specify a string for use in the transit network IE for PRI calling
when the call goes through an InterExchange Carrier (IEC). Transit #
does not apply to outbound calls on inband T1 lines.
The group number of a group of nailed channels assigned to the
connection. (A channel is assigned to a group in a Line N profile.)
Whether the local codec initiates an FT1-AIM, FT1-B&O, or
Nailed/MPP call, or whether it waits for the remote end to initiate
these types of calls.
Specifies
Base number of channels to open when setting up the call. After the
base channels have been opened for an AIM, BONDING, or
multichannel PPP call, the channel count can be augmented.
Number of channels the MAX unit adds as a bundle when bandwidth
changes either manually or automatically during a call. The unit adds
one bundle at a time.
Number of channels the MAX units closes as a bundle when
bandwidth changes either manually or automatically during a call. The
unit removes one bundle at a time. You cannot clear a call by
decrementing channels.
The algorithm to use for calculating Average Line Utilization (ALU)
over the number of seconds specified by the Sec History parameter.
A time period, in seconds, that serves as the basis for calculating ALU.
The time, in seconds, for which the ALU must exceed the value
specified for the (Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory >
Call profile > Target Util parameter before the unit adds bandwidth.
