Modem Pools
As an alternative to assigning a dedicated modem to each connection, you can
configure a modem “pool”. Each PortServer II can be configured to look on a range of
ports for an available modem.
In the example command below, the PortServer II is configured for two modem pools,
one using Ports 1 through 10, and the other Ports 11 and 12.
If the remote host’s
incoming connection (see
Chapter 8
) is configured to
search the Device Table for a
modem device called
vfast
, it initially finds
vfasta
. If ports 1–10 are busy or the
dialer script fails, it continues the search and finds device
vfastb
.
set device name=vfasta dialer=vfastscripta ports=1-10
set device name=vfastb dialer=vfastscriptb ports=11,12
