Re: Re: (ASCEND) P75 Second Channel Comes Up/Drops TOO Fast



Kevin, thanks very much for the response on this issue. After 
forwarding your response to my ISP, they answered that they have 
Add Pers set to 5, and Sub Pers set to 10, which are the defaults. 

Now I have to try and convince them to change these settings. Not 
having any Max(?) manuals (or expertise) handy, can you tell me 
what would need to change on their end to allow only my P75 to 
control the connection of the second channel?

Do they simply need to increase these values to the point where 
my settings are less? Or is there a global control for second 
channel add they can shut off?

What is the standard for "ISP ettiqutte" on this? It seems like I 
should be the one in control of second channel add/drop, yes? This 
was certainly the case at my old ISP.

Thanks again...

Your ISP may have the add/drop parameters set on their side to drop/add
immediately. Both ends can make the request, and there is no way to force
your end to be in control in such a case....
