Off-Net Connections Clause Samples

Off-Net Connections. As described above, the On-Net architecture connects your videoconferencing system to OTN’s VPN for a highly managed and reliable telemedicine service. Although there are many advantages to the On-Net connection architecture, it may not be appropriate if:  Your videoconferencing equipment or medical peripherals are not among the makes and models supported by OTN (See Appendix A: List of Standard Equipment).  You regularly connect to end-points outside of OTN.  You want to connect to OTN via a private network not among those supported by OTN. For these situations, OTN offers two Off-Net solutions: Off-Net IP and Off-Net ISDN. These solutions are described below. OTN maintains a Session Border Controller (SBC) infrastructure to facilitate IP connectivity to sites that are not in the OTN Virtual Private Network (VPN), but do have suitable alternate network connectivity. All systems that wish to participate in Off-Net IP calls must support standards-based encryption to participate in events as an Off-Net system.

Your own IT technical resources must provide first-level support for these systems.  No OTN GAB (Global Address Book) is available for these endpoints. 5 OTN is currently developing enhancements to Ncompass that will permit Off-Net members to schedule their own events. OTN Bridge Partner ISDN TA Partner Endpoint OTN DATA CENTRE LAN ISDN is a very well-defined and mature standard of connectivity. OTN maintains a bank of ISDN PRI lines to facilitate connectivity to the public telephone network. To connect via ISDN, your site must have ISDN lines (BRI or PRI) installed and you must be using ISDN-capable video systems. ISDN PRI ISDN PRI Or ISDN...
