Idle Timeout
Idle timeout means the router will be disconnect after being idle for
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.
Fixed IP
In most environments, you should not change these settings as most
ISPs provide a dynamic IP address for the router when it connects to
the ISP. If your ISP provides a fixed IP address, check Yes to invoke
this function and enter the IP address in the field of Fixed IP
Address.
Fixed IP Address
Type the IP address.

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.

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.
