Connecting MCU to ISDN network

[Aliaksandr Tratseuski]

Hi there!

I discovered a product called "ISDN Link" for connecting IP endpoints to ISDN network. After looking through it's spec it's not quite clear: is it possible to connect an MCU to ISDN network? Any ISDN-enabled endpoint connects through the network to the MCU, and it forms a connection with every endpoint. something like this. I suppose that channel aggregation might be required and is not supported on this device.

Explain please.

Appreciate for your help.

ISDN Link is for in-room ISDN and external network connectivity supporting Cisco TelePresence EX, MX, SX, and C Series endpoints not for MCU.

It provides direct connectivity to ISDN or external networks (V.35) for individual telepresence endpoints without the need for additional gateways or other infrastructure (i.e. Gatekeeper).

If you are looking for MCU to ISDN network, you will need ISDN Gateway, like TelePresence ISDN Gateway 3241.
