The 3310 Mark II Video Conferencing Optical Extender (VCOE) is designed to extend the distance between endpoints of video conferencing systems up to 10 km using fiber optics. The 3310 Mark II is used to interconnect a video codec to the public switched telephone network (PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. ) equipment or it can be used to connect two video codecs together over a private fiber optic network. A DTE/DCE DTE/DCE Data Terminal Equipment/Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment crossover function is built-in as a standard feature to simplify this application. The 3310 Mark II VCOE is designed to operate in increments of 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps up to a single full 1.544 Mbps ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. Primary Rate Interface (PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party. (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. ). The 3310 VCOE extends the clock/data and dialer circuits on the channel side of the demarcation device supporting fractional T-1, individual or bonded ISDN Basic Rate Interface applications. It is equipped with built-in RS-366 dialer interfaces for user convenience. In addition, it offers comprehensive local and remote diagnostics to pinpoint issues quickly and has a power-on self-test feature with LCD display. The 3310 Mark II VCOE is designed to work with, and has undergone interoperability testing with industry leading video conferencing equipment from vendors such as PictureTel/Polycom, Tandburg, VTEL VTEL Video Teleconferencing , Adtran and Madge.
