1.5 Key Features
The Vigor2200 Routers provide many built-in server and software fea-
tures to provide a convenient comprehensive solution for your SOHO
network.
1. Network Address Translation (NAT): NAT allows multiple SOHO
users to concurrently connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
using a single Internet access account.
2. Firmware Upgrade (TFTP) Server: Using this server and the
Firmware Upgrade Utility software, you may easily upgrade to the
latest firmware whenever enhanced features are added.
3. Web (HTTP) Server: A Web browser is the most common tool
used to surf the Internet. You may use Microsoft's Internet Explorer
or Netscape's browser etc, to configure the Vigor2200 series routers
as easily as surfing a website.
4. Virtual TA Server (VTA): The terminology "Virtual TA" means the
Vigor2200 and Vigor2200X can operate as traditional ISDN TA's to
transmit and receive data, FAX, and voice transmissions via third-
party software running on a desktop computer. In fact, a virtual TA
server works as a network TA to exchange packets between an ISDN
BRI and an Ethernet LAN. Therefore, desktop computers can use
the ISDN line resource via an Ethernet LAN. In short, multiple us-
ers can share a network TA for backward compatibility with tradi-
tional applications, such as BBS, file transfer, sending/receiving
FAXs etc.
5. Remote Access Server (RAS): RAS provides remote dial-in ac-
cess services for home workers, branch offices, or telecommuters.
Vigor2200 Routers offer 10 dial-in user profiles, including an
authentication mechanism through CHAP/PAP and Calling Line
Identification (CLID), secure callback functions, and 16 Lan-to-Lan
Dialer Profiles, etc.
