Special Information
Quad BRI/IMUX. The Quad BRI is also called IMUX (for Inverse
Multiplexer). With the Quad BRI, you can connect up to four ISDN
lines to the video conferencing unit. The Quad BRI allows multi-line
ISDN connections to be “muxed” together to create a higher
bandwidth connection to the far-site device. Each ISDN line adds
128 Kbps to the possible operating line.
ISDN Lines. The system can use up to four ISDN lines. Note that the
system only require a single functioning ISDN line to operate, but
speeds greater than 128 Kbps require the use of additional ISDN
lines.
NT-1. If you are not connected to an internal phone system, called a
PBX, you will need to connect the ISDN cables from your system to
the Quad BRI module, to the network termination (NT-1) device,
which is connected to the ISDN wall jack.
