Hi,
I have a client has a Cisco 2600 router configured with ISDN callback for one of their users. On their last bill from the telco they saw that during the callback session, another 0,04 Norwegian kroner was charged about every 30 sec. during the callback connection was established and running. Just wondering if the router is doing something it shouldn't as I find it strange that it makes a call attempt to the callback phone no. when it already is established.
Would like a second oppinion. Can anyone look at the config below and see if anything concerning callback is either wrong and/or be the reason for the problem?
My experience rather sketchy when it comes to remote access routers.

Is it the client that is being charged the extra 0,04 Kr, or the central site. If it is the client, the problem probably lies in the client configuration. If it is the central site, this is probably because of the load-threshold and multilink; in this case it is probably the client that is taking down the call after 30 seconds.
Maybe the client doesn't have multilink correctly configured, but is accepting the second connection. However, there is no data flowing on the second connection because the data is balanced by session, therefore the client takes down the second channel after a timeout.
I think I would like to see the remote config as well.

Hi,
and thanx for the quick reply.
The 0,04 is being charged the central site. So, to me it looks like it is trying to establish a extra connection back to the client.
The clients are either Windows 2000 or XP.

In that case, I guess it is the multilink and load-threshold that is trying to open a second parallel link. I would remove the load-threshold and let the other end decide whether a second link is required.

Thanx a lot, and I will try that and see what happens. If I still have problems, I will return to this thread.
Have a good weekend, and again... thanx a lot!

Steffan,
OK, but please return to the thread even if the problem is fixed ... that way we can all benefit from the experience.
Have a nice weekend yourself.
