3.10.3 Dialing to Dual ISPs

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.

3.10.4 Virtual TA

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.

zThe Virtual TA client only supports MicrosoftTM Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/98SE/Me/2000 platforms.

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

zOne ISDN BRI interface has two B channels. The maximum number of active clients is also two.

zBefore you configure the Virtual TA, you must set the correct country code.
