We have provided below some basic information intended for the technicians who have to support live distance learning classes. We have included the current configuration, capacity and backbone technology of the distance learning classrooms here at CSU.

We have started upgrading our technology to support multiple connections to anywhere in the world over H.323. We realize that video over IP (H.323) and SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is the future of synchronous distance education and are taking necessary steps to advance this technology.

We will continue to support ISDN calls up to 384 kps. We realize not all institutions have been able to make the change to H.323; therefore, we are keeping a limited ISDN connection up to service these educational institutions.

Some institutions utilize the bridging services of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS). We currently have three lines to DAS able to go up to full T-1 speed (approx. 1.5Mps). We prefer not to use this service unless there are no other alternatives.

As of January 1, 2006 we will no longer support any ATM classes.

We are working on technology to stream any class content to the Web through MediaSite, Real Networks, QuickTime or Windows Media Player. Additionally we are starting to look at archiving these classes for WebCT and future media possibilities.
