MPIP Setup... MPIP setup is only necessary for a site that has more than 1 Hiper Arc and has PRI's. It is not necessary for those POP's that don't support ISDN. When setting up MPIP on the Hiper Arcs you will have to designate one of the Harcs as the server for the group. It will keep track of where all the channels are and who they belong to. The rest of the Harcs, including the one designated as the server will be setup as clients. (It's a client too.) add mpip server <ip_address of server> sharedsecret <secret> priority 1 Remember to do this on all the Harcs. On the Harc that is going to be the server, as0, make sure the server state is on set mpip server_state on Now, on each Hiper Arc, including the server you need to add the ip address of all the Hiper Arc's in the group. add mpip client <ip_address> sharedsecret <secret> type hiper By default all Hiper Arc's are set to default server_state=off and client_state=on Only the Harc acting as the server will have both server and client state on, else it should be off, on. set NTP primary_server<ip address of NTP server> enable ntp save all NOTE: Daylight Savings Time does not work on the HiPer ARC until version 5.1.99. Verify Setup show mpip settings list mpip servers list mpip clients -- David.Hamilton@Voyager.net CoreComm Network Operations Joel - Fox Computers extolled:

How do you get there? Maybe send me a link to the search page? Or better, to the MPIP examples?

I found some [vague] info in a Hiper ARC Product Reference I have, but not very good examples of the configuration.

Thanks,

joel

Hmm.. I didn't use my service contract info when I signed up.. Wonder if it was a glitch? In fact I don't think I have any company related information on my account that I use to search the KB..

I'd try signing up and see if it forces you to enter any contract information. (NOTE: I cannot download my software directly from commworks, but I can utilize their forums and KB.)

Thanks - but my svc contract doesn't give me access to search the commworks knowledgebase - anyone have that documentation and can send over?

Yes, you would use MPIP (I think it's 'Multilink-PPP Interspan Protocol) Do a search on http://totalservice.commworks.com for MPIP and there are a bunch of examples on how to configure it.

Is it possible to setup multilink across more than one total control box? Trying to set up a location with 24 PRI's to support multilink ISDN. Anyone provide me any info on doing this? I'm concerned if a call gets split between two different units.

Thanks,

Joel
