Dynamic Data Bandwidth Allocation
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation is a cost savings feature that helps you save
money by only using the second B-channel when it is need for data transfers,
and then dropping the second B-channel when it is not needed. Dynamic
Bandwidth Allocation works with TurboPPP to add or drop the second B-
channel automatically. Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation determines the need for
the second B-channel by measuring the amount of data sent or received during
a set period of time. These threshold and timer values are set in TurboPPP.
Important: Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation is set on by default. To turn off
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation, use *D0=1.

x2 Addendum
Use this setting
*D0=0
*D0=1
Use this setting
*D1=n, where n equals
1-255 five second units
*D2=n, where n equals
1 -255 five second units
Or this setting
S68.6=0
S68.6=1
Example
*D1=2 (ten seconds)
*D2=10 (50 seconds)
