Dialer idle-timeout 
Sets the time that the line can remain idle before it is disconnected.
Default being 120 seconds. 

This means that if Site A just made a call to the Corporate HQ, sent it's
traffic and now has nothing left to send, the line will remain up for 120
seconds in case some more traffic is destined for Corporate HQ. This saves
time in having to establish another call to Corporate HQ.

Dialer fast-idle
Sets the time that a line can remain idle before the current call is
disconnected to allow another call that is waiting to use the line. Default
is 20 seconds.

So, in keeping with my first example. Site A made a call to Corporate HQ,
sent all it's traffic and has the line still up with Corporate HQ. Now Site
A needs to place a call to Site B, but it's line is tied up, sitting on idle
to Corporate HQ. Fast-idle will force the Corporate HQ call to drop so that
it can re-use the line to call Site B.

Subject: dialer idle-timeout and dialer fast-idle commands


Can anyone tell me the difference between these two
dialer commands ?

Explanation given in the BCRAN course notes make the
two appear to me as serving the same purpose.

Cheers
