The above values set it so that both channels will dial when you connect. If you do not use enough bandwidth to make it necessary to dial with both channels, please see the following pages:

Dynamic Allocation: Quick Increase in Bandwidth
Dynamic Allocation: Constant Increase in Bandwidth

Once you have done this, you will need to break your current connection and dial in again.
