a preset amount of time. The default is 180 seconds. If you set the

time to 0, the ISDN connection to the ISP will always remain on.

If you have more than one ISP, press this link to configure two ISP dialup profiles. You will

be able to dial to both ISPs at the same time. This is mainly for those ISPs that do not support

Multiple-Link PPP (ML-PPP) function. In such cases, dialing to two ISPs can increase the

bandwidth utilization of the ISDN channels to 128kbps data speed.

Most configuration parameters are the same as those of the previous part. This screen provides

a checkbox to enable the Dual ISPs function and adds the secondary ISP Setup section field.

Check the corresponding box and enter the second ISP information. About the details please

refer to the descriptions of the previous part.

2.7 Virtual TA (Remote CAPI) Setup

Note: This setting is available for

i

models only.

Virtual TA

means the local hosts or PCs in the network that uses popular CAPI-based

software such as RVS-COM or BVRP to access the router as a local ISDN TA for sending or

receiving FAX messages over the ISDN line. Basically, it is a client/server network model.

The built-in Virtual TA server handles the establishment and release of connections. The

Virtual TA client, which is installed on the local hosts or PCs, creates a CAPI-based driver to

relay all CAPI messages between the applications and the router CAPI module. Before

describing the configuration of

Virtual TA

in the Vigor routers, please notice the following

limitations.

z

The Virtual TA client only supports Microsoft

TM

Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/98SE/Me/2000

platforms.
