Reminder

Remember that the vpi.vci pairs that you specify must match those
configured in the devices at each end of the PVC. In this case, the VDM
forces values of 0.32, 0.33, etc., but your source device must be configured to
match the vpi.vci values that you configured above.

4.6.3 Sample Scenarios

The Video Distribution Module is designed to provide cost-effective distribution of
video and audio programs, either real-time or from a server, to either a
workgroup or an ATM network.

It is ideal for such applications as distance learning, online education, and
real-time news updates.

Figure 20, Figure 21 on page 55, and Figure 22 on

page 56 show some ways the Video Distribution Module can be used with the
8285 switch

Figure 20. Video Distribution M o d u l e Workgroup Configuration

The first example, a workgroup configuration, shows how you might set up a
very cost-effective stand-alone workgroup, providing video distribution from a
video server to a group of users (with video connections) and/or TV monitors.
