RVS-COM Lite Version: V1.63
New Features:
Mega-Bundle
Some ISP does not support multilink bundle of more than 2 links (it's inefficient any
way), therefore, it is currently impossible for a user to dedicate all 4 channels
available in a P-480 to Internet access. To differentiate P-480 from other similarly
equipped products, it is desirable to be able to support bundle of 4 links where P-480
calls a second ISP when the traffic exceeds a certain threshold and split the traffic
between the two connections. We'll call this bundling of ISPs "Mega-Bundle".
NetCAPI: RVS-COM ISDN-DCP support.
Supprot RVS-COM NetCAPI protocol.
IP Alias
In this release, Lan port can assign more than one IP address.

  • Page 2 Enhancement Details: Mega-Bundle Setup In order to setup more than one ISP account, there is a little change in Remote mode setup procedure in Menu 11.2 when you want to setup a remote node as a “supplementary remote node”. In previous ZyNOS v2.4, there is only ISP account. I call the remote node as “ISP remote node”.
  • Page 3 4. Set “Rem IP Addr= 1.2.3.4”. The value can be arbitrary IP address except “0.0.0.0” and “1.1.1.1”. 5. Set “Edit IP/IPX/Bridge= Yes” and then press Enter. You will enter menu 11.3. 6. Set “Rem Subnet Mask= 0.0.0.0” 7. Save the configuration. Check the configuration in menu 11.
  • Page 4 The setup procedure of “Mega-Bundle” First an ISP remote node must be configured. 1.Setup ISP in menu 4. 2.Set “Multilink= BOD” or “Multilink= “Always” in menu 4 3.Set “Single User Account= Yes” 4.In menu 11, edit the ISP remote node. 5.Set “Edit PPP Options= Yes”...

  • Page 7 When you want to use NetCAPI to place outgoing calls or to listen incoming calls, you must start RVSCOM in your PC, and RVSCOM will register itself to the Prestige. This option is the limit of the maximum number of PC that can run RVSCOM at the same time. Incoming Data Call Matching: [MSN] means directing this call to the Prestige only when the incoming phone number matches the ISDN DATA number in menu 2.
  • Page 8 Look at Figure 2. The red packets are sent by PC. After the packets forwarded by P480, I used green packet to present the packets. The configuration of P480 is assumed that SUA is enable when you dial to ISP. The build-in packet scheduler of P480 will try to separate data flow into different connections. The packets sent by PC01 and PC02 are forwarded by connection (1) and those sent by PC03 are forwarded by connection (2).
  • Page 9: Known Bugs

    Known Bugs: 1. When PC is using NetCapi service of P480, each PC can only activate one Capi aplication at the same time. 2. In order to use NetCapi, users must edit the file “autoexec.net” to change some system parameters. The old values are as following: ip tcp limit 2 ip tcp window 2...
