Virtual TA Concepts

The term Virtual TA means the local Ethernet-connected hosts or PCs use popular CAPI-based software such as RVS-COM or BVRP etc. to access the router as a local ISDN TA for FAX sending or receiving via the ISDN line. Basically, it is a client/server network model. The Virtual TA server built into the router handles the connection establishment and release. The Virtual TA client, installed in the Ethernet-connected host, creates a CAPI-based driver to relay all CAPI messages between applications and the router's CAPI module.

Note:

1.The Virtual TA client is only supported on Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/98 SE/Me/2000 platforms.

2.The Virtual TA client only supports the CAPI 2.0 protocol and has no built-in FAX engine.

3.One ISDN BRI interface only has two B channels. The maximum number of active clients is also 2.

4.Before you set up the Virtual TA, you must set the correct country code. Click ISDN Setup in the Basic Setup group.

As the following application chart shows, the Virtual TA client can make an outgoing call or accept an incoming call to/from a peer FAX machine or ISDN TA etc.
