Configuring Individual WAN Connections
Configuring a Combinet connection
The Combinet bridging parameters
This section provides some background information about a Combinet configuration.
Specifying the hardware address of the remote Combinet bridge
The (Connection profile) Station parameter must specify the MAC address of the remote
Combinet bridging device.
Enabling bridging
A Combinet connection is always a bridging connection, so the Bridge parameter in the
Connection profile must be set to Yes. If the Bridge parameter is N/A, bridging has not been
enabled in the Ethernet profile (as described in Chapter 14, “Configuring Packet Bridging”).
Requiring a password from the remote bridge
The Password Reqd parameter specifies that a password will be required to authenticate
Combinet connections.You can specify that an individual Combinet connection does not
require a password exchange, even if the Answer profile specifies that Combinet passwords
are required.
Specifying passwords to exchange with the remote bridge
The Send PW parameter specifies the password sent to the remote device. It must match the
password expected from the MAX unit. The Recv PW parameter specifies the password sent to
the unit from the remote device.
Configuring line-integrity monitoring
The (Answer profile) Interval parameter specifies the number of seconds between
transmissions of Combinet line-integrity packets. You can specify a number between 5 and 50.
If the MAX unit does not receive a Combinet line-integrity packet within the specified
interval, it disconnects the call.
Base channel count
The (Connection profile) Base Ch Count parameter specifies the base number of channels to
use when setting up the call. It can be set to 1 (for 64 Kbps) or 2 (for 128 Kbps).
Compression
The (Connection profile) Compression parameter enables or disables STACKER LZS
compression/decompression. Both sides of the link must enable compression or it is not used.
