Videoconferencing
NOTE:
Through its support of high-speed digital facilities, the system allows you to
use several types of advanced data communications applications,
including Group IV fax, videoconferencing, and rapid data transfer. For
more information about digital facilities and adjuncts, see the following
topics:
The system supports two types of videoconferencing systems:
Desktop Videoconferencing Workstation. This type of data workstation
typically consists of a PC or LAN workstation with one or more
videoconferencing circuit boards installed; the video system is equipped
with an ISDN-BRI interface. A microphone, software, and a video camera
are also included. This type of video workstation does not require separate
data communications equipment.
Group Videoconferencing Workstations. Group videoconferencing
equipment is usually more expensive than desktop equipment and
provides more capabilities. Such standalone systems include a built-in
monitor and are installed in conference rooms or on roll-about units. There
are two types of group videoconferencing workstations:
— ISDN Group Videoconferencing Workstations. ISDN group
— V.35 Group Videoconferencing Workstation. This type of data

workstation usually consists of a roll-about or built-in videoconferencing
system as its data terminal equipment. The data communications
equipment consists of two ISDN terminal adapters and sometimes two
EIA 232/V.35 converters. The converters are not needed when the
equipment includes interfaces other than V.35, such as V.24. Sometimes
an inverse multiplexor (IMUX) is connected instead of the two terminal
adapters.
