FVC ROOM SYSTEM SWITCH FOR
H.321 VIDEOCONFERENCING
The V-Room is an
advanced, RISC processor-based multimedia switch specifically designed for
direct connection of videoconferencing room systems to ATM.
- Converts standards-based ISDN
(H.320) end points to ATM (H.321)
- Enables high quality videoconferencing with end-to-end QoS
- Easy to install and manage, enhances mobility
ENABLES H.321
VIDEOCONFERENCING
Using the V-Room switch, you can attach a broad array of H.320 room system
videoconferencing equipment directly to ATM, supporting H.321
videoconferencing over the enterprise network. Equipment from
manufacturers such as PictureTel, Polycom, VTEL, Tandberg, and Sony is
supported. The V-Room switch enables high-performance translations between
H.320 and H.321, preserving all the features of H.320 while improving
performance.
HIGHER QUALITY, LOWER
COST
More than 60 percent of videoconferencing
calls are internal, within the organization. The V-Room switch is designed
to transport traditional H.320 calls over an enterprise ATM backbone,
enabling great savings on ISDN call charges. There are two switch models.
Each is fitted with two V.35/X.21 connectors that support one room system,
and either 4 x 25 ATM or 2 x 155 ATM. The V.35/X.21 connectors attach to a
room system's ports, allowing call rates from 128Kbps to 1152Kbps. The ATM
ports link the room to the network and are used to attach other H.321 room
systems or any multimedia PC.
FLEXIBILITY, EASE OF
USE
The V-Room switch allows videoconferencing
across enterprise networks using commonly installed UTP cabling or
multimode fiber. This eliminates the high costs of pulling ISDN lines to
each system, making it easy to move room systems to any location on the
network. Very little configuration is required, making the V-Room switch
easy to install. After you assign an ATM address, room systems equipped
with the switch can register themselves dynamically to V-Locator,
simplifying adds, moves, and other changes. You won't have to program
standard call lists on each room system. V-Locator is a Web server that
provides a graphical interface, allowing users to place and manage calls
easily.
KEY ATTRIBUTES
- Advanced
Architecture The V-Room
implements UNI 3.x standard ATM over UTP category 3 and 5 wiring or
multimode fiber, delivering call rates from 128Kbps to 1152Kbps.
Compliant with the most advanced ATM networks available today, it
supports Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) and ATM QoS with traffic
shaping and ATM policing for optimum efficiency over wide area
networks.
- Choice of
Configurations The
V-Room switch comes in two configurations-either a dual V.35/X.21
interface with 4 x 25 ATM ports, or a dual V.35/X.21 interface with
two OC-3 ATM ports. The dual V.35/X.21 interface supports one room
system. The V-Room switch can be connected to either a V.35 DCE using
RS-366A dialing, or to a X.21 DCE using the X.21 in-band signaling
standard. It presents the same dialing interface to the room system
videonconferencing unit as a simple IMUX. Each configuration also
includes one 10BaseT Ethernet port and one management console port. A
separate V-Room module is also available for the Access NGI switch.
- Optimized for Video
Performance By simply
attaching the dual V.35 interfaces directly to an H.320
videoconferencing room system, you'll enjoy the optimum video quality
and high call rates achievable with H.321 videoconferencing. Both
ports are required for 2 x 64Mbps or 2 x 56Kbps calls. For any speed
above 128Kbps, an integrated IMUX capability allows connection speeds
up to 1152Kbps over a single interface. The V-Room switch includes an
ATM RISC processor, hardware segmentation and reassembly (SAR), and
on-board memory, ensuring the smoothest possible network traffic
shaping.
- Support for ATM's
QoS Videoconferencing
performance at speeds ranging from 128Kbps to 1152Kbps is guaranteed
across the network, with support for VBR class of service for video
traffic. The ATM 25Mbps or 155Mbps ports also exploit QoS for
interactive and streamed video along with UBR for LAN Emulation (LANE)
data transport. This enables V-Room switches to deliver high quality
videoconferencing and streaming video to desktops across the
enterprise network, even when multimedia traffic is combined with
traditional LAN data traffic.
- Interoperable
with Major Vendors V-Room
is fully compliant with ATM standards such as UNI 3.x IISP, PNNI
(optional), and LAN Emulation to facilitate transparent access to data
file servers. FVC.COM has conducted interoperability testing with
equipment from networking vendors Ascend, Lucent Technologies, Nortel
Networks, 3Com, Cisco Systems, FORE Systems, IBM, and others.
- Additional
Resilience Where you have
multiple videoconferencing systems in adjacent rooms, switches can be
cascaded from room to room and multi-homed to the network core using
IISP or PNNI. This minimizes the number of switch ports required in
the network core and increases resilience.
