 |                              |

 |                              | 

Go under the Encaps options and make sure the values are set to the following:

 ------ LI00xxx  EDIT ----------- 	------ LI00xxx EDIT -------------
 |90-101                        | 	|90-101				|

 |  Send PW=*******             | 	|    Add Pers=5			| 
 |  Recv PW=	                | 	|    Sub Pers=10   		|
 |  Base Ch Count=2             | 	|    Target Util=70		|
 |  Min Ch Count=1              | 	|    Idle Pct=0			|
 |  Max Ch Count=2              | 
 |  MRU=1524                    | 
 |  LQM=No                      | 
 |  LQM Min=600                 | 
 |  LQM Max=600                 | 
 |  Link Comp=Stac              |
 |  VJ Comp=Yes                 |

 |                              | 

The above values set it so that both channels will dial when you connect. If you do not use enough bandwidth to warrant using both channels, then set the Base Ch Count=1.

After the Encaps options are set hit ESC. This should bring you back to the Net menu.

Next go under session options:

And set Idle=600

 |  Idle=600                    | 
 |  Preempt=60                  |
 

Next go under telco options:

Set AnsOrig=Call Only

Set Data Sve to either 56K or 64K depending upon what the telco has told you.

 |  Force 56=N/A                | 
 |  Bill #=                     |
 

After this has been done, then hit ESC until you get the screen:

 --------- LI00xxx EDIT ---------
 |EXIT?				|
 | 0=EXC (Don't exit)		|
 | 1=Exit and discard		|
 |>2=Exit and accept		|

Choose 2 for exit and accepting.

You should now be ready to dial your router. Type CTRL-D and choose 1 for dial.
