How to Use the VCA

How to Use the VCA

The Virtual Call Assistant is intended to be installed and used by helpdesk personnel
supporting HP Compaq Business PCs and HP Workstations.

Typically, the user of the remote computer will call the helpdesk to report a computer
malfunction or to report the presence of a warning signal from the computer. During
this initial call, the buzzer signal can be recorded by the helpdesk computer and quickly
analyzed by the VCA software.

The VCA provides immediate and accurate diagnostic information available at the
helpdesk/support location, often eliminating the need for the support personnel to visit
the remote site unprepared, or to rely on an uncertain verbal report.

VCA Availability

For information about ordering the DynaMetric decoder, or to download the VCA
software, connect to the HP Diagtools home page at:

www.hp.com/go/e-diagtools

.

For more detailed information about using the VCA, refer to the

Virtual Call Assistant

User’s Guide

, available on the your computer’s HP support web site (refer to page 7 for

web addresses).
