2. A Few Key Terms: Loosely Defined Call: Point-to-Point communication between 2 sites Endpoint: A Terminal, Gateway, or MCU Gatekeeper: Access control + a little bit more Gateway: Translation between two technologies IP: Internet Protocol MCU: (Multipoint Control Unit) Endpoint allowing communication between three or more sites. Not needed for a point-to-point conference.

3. Top Issues Related to Deployment of this Technology in Oklahoma Available Bandwith Codec Interoperability Network Paths MCU Access Integration into the Teaching Environment

4. Available Bandwidth End user sites Hub sites

5. Endpoint Interoperability Intel/ Picture Tel Polycom Vtel Others

6. Common H.323 endpoints in Oklahoma are: Intel Teamstation (PC based) –January 2000 State Contract Price: w/monitor=$7,039.36 w/o monitor=$5,759.36 http://www.onenet.net/ops/C99018a.html Polycom (Set based/Appliance) –January 2000 State Contract Price: Viewstation = $4,373.27

7. Network Choices/ Paths This is a good one Chaos Bonus Tip: Watching McGyver reruns is probably your best bet in resolving this one

8. MCU Access in Oklahoma OneNet Hub Sites - White Pine OSU- Accord Pioneer - Video Server

9. The reality is…… H.323 has been deployed in Oklahoma and you will see it. OneNet is pressing to move in this direction You need to know a little about it.

11. Integration into a Teaching Environment This is a “biggie” but has been largely ignored Utilization of content resources has been largely ignored It needs to be more seamless than it is

12. Solutions are often technology oriented and not student and teacher oriented.
