The COMPRESSION (CCP) PARAMETERS MENU allows the setting of data compression on the link connection to
the remote site PPP router. The parameters defined here are used by the CCP functions of the router for negotiating data
compression during call establishment.
1 - Compression
The Compression option enables or disables the negotiation of compression for data packets sent from the remote site
PPP router and received by this router. The P1700 performs data compression at the bundle level and not at the link
level. Link based compression will be rejected. The P1700 supports CCP option 17 - PPP Stac LZS Compression
Protocol.
When the Compression option is enabled, data compression will be negotiated with the remote site router for data that
is sent from this router to the remote site router.
When compression is disabled, this router will not allow data compression to be negotiated for the connection.
Default: [enabled]
2 - Extended Sequence
The Extended Sequence option enables or disables the use of a two-byte sequence number for inter-router
communications. When disabled, the sequence number is one byte.
This option should be enabled when connecting to a PPP router that uses a two-byte sequence number instead of a one-
byte sequence number. Some Cisco routers with software versions IOS 11.0 and IOS 11.1 use a two-byte sequence
number.
Default: [disabled]
Considerations:
If compression has been negotiated for the connection but many data errors are received and very little data, the
Extended Sequence number may need to be enabled.
