On-Net Connections Clause Samples
On-Net Connections. If you are planning to deploy telemedicine carts or room-based systems, the On-Net connection is the preferred architecture. For On-Net systems, OTN installs a router at your site and uses this device to connect your videoconferencing system to the OTN Virtual Private Network (VPN). Use of the VPN ensures the greatest level of security and reliability, and allows the OTN Service Desk to remotely manage, configure and support your videoconferencing systems. On-Net connections require the provision of a VLAN or dedicated video LAN cabling within your local network, allowing extension of the OTN address space from the installed OTN demarcation router directly to the installed endpoints (see diagram below). This type of connection can be provisioned over any suitable backhaul network including eHealth Ontario, ORION, a community network or the Internet. The demarcation device requires that one interface be addressed natively on the external network and one interface be included in the VLAN provided your site. The demarcation device will provide the default gateway for all OTN systems located on the dedicated VLAN. Redundant VPN tunnels will be established from the demarcation device to OTN central VPN concentrators to enable core redundancy. All traffic is encrypted from the demarcation device outward and all OTN devices are addressed with OTN address space.

On-Net Connections. If a Member plans to deploy telemedicine carts or room-based systems, the On-Net connection is the preferred architecture. An On-Net system requires OTN to install a router at a Member site and use this device to connect the videoconferencing systems to the OTN network. This operation will allow OTN Technical Support staff to configure, manage and support remotely the videoconferencing systems. On-Net Connections require the provision of a VLAN or dedicated video LAN cabling within a site’s local network, allowing extension of the OTN address space from the installed OTN demarcation router directly to the installed endpoints (see diagram on page 5). This type of connection is provisioned over any suitable backhaul network including eHealth Ontario, ORION, a community network, a private ▇▇▇▇ MPLS connection, or the Internet. The demarcation device requires one interface to be addressed natively on the external network and one interface to be included in the VLAN provided to the site. The demarcation device will provide the default gateway for all OTN systems located on the dedicated VLAN. Redundant VPN tunnels are established from the demarcation device to OTN central VPN concentrators to enable core redundancy. All traffic is encrypted from the demarcation device outward and all OTN devices are addressed with OTN address space.
