Call Password and Flag Idle parameters
A call profile includes a Call Password and a Flag Idle parameter. (For the definition of call
profile, see “Assigning nailed channels to groups” on page 3-12.) The Call Password
parameter specifies the password for outgoing AIM and BONDING calls. The Flag Idle
parameter specifies the bit pattern that a dynamic call to an AIM port uses as the idle indicator.
Select the Yes setting to specify the flag pattern or the No setting to specify the mark pattern.
Both patterns include enough 1 bits to maintain clock synchronization with the remote unit.
Both ends must use the same pattern. Receipt of the specified pattern indicates to the local unit
that the remote unit is not sending data.
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Configuring an AIM call
To configure an AIM call that uses dynamic bandwidth allocation to manage the call
dynamically:
1 Open a Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory > call profile.
2 Set the Dial # to specify the remote device, and set Call Type to AIM.
3 Set Call Mgm to Dynamic.
Dyn Alg The algorithm to use for calculating Average Line Utilization (ALU)
over the number of seconds specified by the Sec History parameter.
Sec History A time period, in seconds, that serves as the basis for calculating ALU.
Add Pers T he time, in seconds, for which the ALU must exceed the value
specified for the (Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory >
call profile > Target Util parameter before the unit adds bandwidth.
Sub Pers The time, in seconds, for which the ALU must fall below the value
specified for the (Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual), PortN Menu > Directory >
call profile > Target Util parameter before the unit subtracts
bandwidth.
Time PeriodN The submenu parameters for dividing each AIM call are:
• Activ—Specifies a call management time period for an AIM call.
• Beg Time— Specifies the start-time of a dynamic AIM call’s time
period.
• Min Ch Cnt—Specifies the minimum number of channels that can
be established for a multilink call.
• MAX Ch Cnt—Specifies the maximum number of channels that
can be allocated to a multilink connection.
• Target Util—Specifies a percentage of line utilization to use as a
threshold for determining when to add or subtract bandwidth.
