protocol is Multilink PPP.
Activates the DIVA T/A’s automatic traffic
monitor for multilink PPP Connections. When
activated, this function monitors the send-and-
receive traffic volume, and opens or closes your
second B-channel as the traffic warrants.
Activate this function to ensure that two B-
channels are never active when one is
sufficient, thus reducing the chargeable time
payable to your ISDN provider.
Note: Be sure to configure the Cost Reduction
Timers to avoid numerous first interval charges.
If you select BACP, but do not set the Cost
Reduction Timers, you could incur unnecessary
expense as your second B-channel might open
and close frequently, costing you the first-
interval amount each time the second B-channel
connects.
Default: BACP/BOD enabled
