Setting the Console Port for Multiline Load Balancing
Multiline load balancing is used to add additional lines when network traffic is heavy. If
more than one line to the same location is established, the PortMaster balances the
traffic among the lines. To configure the Office Router for multiline load balancing, you
must attach an external modem to the console port.
In this example the console port is being configured for use as another serial port. Once
you set this configuration, the port is no longer available for the system console.
Figure 15-2 shows the multiline load balancing configuration.
