RE: (ASCEND) ISDN bonding across BRI

["Troy Settle" <st@i-Plus.net>]

Danny,

When you have an Ascend talking to an Ascend, it works something like this:

Pipeline calls to Max on primary number
Max tells Pipeline what # to call for additional channels

The trick, is to put the BRI in the same group on the Max

For example, we have 1 customer that's paying for a 4 channel dedicated ISDN
connection.  We configure 2 BRI in the same group.  If the customer were
using Ascend (or something compatible), they would only have to specify a
single dial number and their router would obtain additional number
automagically.

Hope this helps,

-Troy
