RAS Callback Via ISDN Uses Only One Channel (126383)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q126383 SYMPTOMS
If you use the callback feature of the Windows NT 3.5 Remote Access Service
(RAS) server to perform a callback through an ISDN connection, only one
channel of the ISDN line is used.
CAUSE
An ISDN line provides two b-channels that can be used for data transfer.
You can configure RAS to use two channels for dial-in to a Windows NT 3.5
RAS server. However, even if the RAS client is able negotiate the RAS
connection with two channels, the RAS server only uses one channel for a
callback (when the callback security feature is enabled).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows
NT version 3.5. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the
