Activate a second ISDN call on demand

The AR100 can make a second ISDN call to the Internet to increase the speed of
your connection when the demand for it rises above a threshold. It will
automatically disconnect such a call when the demand falls below a lower
threshold value for a specified time. You can use the default threshold and time
values or change these values to tune your connection. You will also need to
enter the ISDN number for the second call to connect to your ISP.
Note: To determine whether data or voice Dial-on-Demand calls will be
dropped for higher priority calls for an AR140 with phone ports, see Call bump-
ing on the Phone and ISDN Information page (Figure 7-4).

Data compression

connection if it is also supported by your ISP. It improves performance and
may reduce call charges,
