Install a Virtual TA Client

1.Insert the CD-ROM bundled with your Vigor router. Find VTA Client tool in the Utility menu and click on the Install button.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions of the installer. The last step will ask you to restart your computer. Click OK to restart your computer.

3.After the computer restarts, you will see a VT icon in the taskbar (usually in the bottom-right of the screen, near the clock) as shown below.

When the icon text is GREEN, the Virtual TA client is connected to the Virtual TA server and you can launch your CAPI-based software to use the client to access the router. If the icon text is RED, it means the client has lost the connection to the server. This time, please check the physical Ethernet connection.

Configure a Virtual TA Client/ Server

Since the Virtual TA application is a client/server network model, you must configure it on both ends to run properly your Virtual TA application.

By default, the Virtual TA server is enabled and the Username/Password fields are left blank. Any Virtual TA client may login to the server. Once a single Username/Password field has been filled in, the Virtual TA server will only allow clients with a valid Username/Password to login. The screen of Virtual TA configuration is presented below.

User Profile

Note that creating a single user access account will limit the access to the Virtual TA server to only the specified account holders.

Assume you did not acquire any MSN service from your ISDN network provider.

On the server - Click Virtual TA (Remote CAPI) Setup link, and fill in the Username and Password fields. Check the Active box to enable the account.

On the client - Right-click the mouse on the VT icon. The following pop-up menu will be shown.
