phone numbers to be exchanged when more bandwidth is needed and mem-
ber links to be dropped when bandwidth is to be decreased. When this item
is set to On, BACP is negotiated with the PPP peer. When Off, the Express
XL/XLT will not run BACP/BAP but dynamic bandwidth can still be operat-
ed.
Certain rules for bandwidth-on-demand apply, depending on whether BACP
is negotiated. If BACP is not negotiated, the originator of the call will perform
the dynamic bandwidth adjustments on its own. If BACP is negotiated, the de-
cisions are made on either side but the call is always from the originator.

Write security: 3; Read security: 5
TM
The Express XL/XLT uses LZS
technology from hi/fn
(formerly known as
®
STAC) for data compression. The Ascend Communications version of this
compression is also supported. The Express XL/XLT will automatically select
the type of compression. Compression is negotiated when this item is set to
STAC (def). No compression will be attempted when set to None.
PPP/VJ Compression
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
When this item is set to On, the Express XL/XLT will perform TCP/IP header
compression known as Van Jacobson compression to the PPP peer. Normally,
this is not necessary over ISDN connections and can be set to Off (def) to dis-
able it.
