<h1 class="topictitle1">Multiple-connection profile support</h1>
<div><p>Point-to-point connection profiles that support multiple connections
allow you to have one connection profile that handles many digital, analog,
or L2TP calls.</p>
<div class="section"><p>This is useful when you want multiple users to connect to your iSeries™ server
but do not want to specify a separate point-to-point connection profile to
handle each PPP line. This feature is especially useful for the 2805 4-port
integrated modem where four lines are for use from one adapter. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>For analog lines with multiple-connection profile support, all
lines in the specified line pool are used up to the maximum number of connections.
Basically, a separate connection profile job is started for each line that
is defined in the line pool. All connection profile jobs wait for incoming
calls on their respective lines.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Local IP address for multiple-connection profiles:</h4><p>You
can use the local IP address with multiple-connection profiles, but it must
be an existing IP address that is defined on your iSeries server. You can use the Local
IP address pull down list to select the existing IP address. Remote users
can access the resources that are on your local network if you choose the
local iSeries server
IP address as the local IP address for your PPP profile. Also, you must define
the IP addresses that are in the remote IP address pool to be in the same
network as the local IP address.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>If you do not have a local iSeries server IP address or do not want
the remote users to access the LAN, you must define a virtual IP address for
your iSeries server.
A Virtual IP address is also known as a circuitless interface. Your point-to-point
profiles can use this IP address as their local IP address. Since this IP
address is not tied to a physical network, it will not automatically forward
traffic to other networks that are attached to your iSeries server.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>To create a Virtual IP address, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
expand your server, and access <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Network</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">TCP/IP configuration</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">IPV4</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Interfaces</span></span>.</li>
<li>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">Interfaces</span> and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">New Interface</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Virtual IP</span></span>.</li>
<li>Follow the Interface Wizard instructions to create your Virtual IP interface.
Your point-to-point connection profiles can use the Virtual IP address once
it is created. You can use the pull down list from the Local IP address field
that is on the TCP/IP Settings page to use the IP address with your profile. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The
Virtual IP address must be active prior to starting your multiple-connection
profile; otherwise, the profile will not start. To activate the IP address
after creating the interface, you select the option to start the IP address
when using the Interface Wizard. </div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Remote IP address pools for multiple-connection profiles:</h4><p>You
can also use remote IP address pools with multiple-connection profiles. A
typical one-connection point-to-point profile only allows you to specify one
remote IP address, which is given to the calling system when the connection
is made. Because multiple callers can now connect simultaneously, a remote
IP address pool is used to define a starting remote IP address as well as
a range of additional IP addresses that are given to the calling system.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Line pool restrictions:</h4><p>These restrictions apply
when using line pools for multiple connections: </p>
<ul><li>A specific line can only exist in one line pool at a time. If you remove
a line from a line pool, it can be used in another line pool.</li>
<li>When starting a multiple connection profile that uses a line pool, all
lines in the line pool are used up to the maximum number of connections value
in the profile. When there are no lines, all new connections will fail. Also,
if there are no lines in the line pool, and another profile starts, it will
end.</li>
<li>When you start a single connection profile that has a line pool, the system
uses only one line from the line pool. If you start a multiple connection
profile that uses the same line pool, any remaining lines in the line pool
are for use.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiyremotepool.htm">Remote IP address pools</a></strong><br />
The system can use remote IP address pools for any answering or stopping point-to-point connection profile that is used with multiple incoming connections.</li>
