A:SETUP PROCEDURE

The Zydacron OnWAN Z340 is a PC card based CODEC specifically designed for IP (H.323) networks only. The plug in card requires a spare PCI slot in the users PC. Connectivity for the camera, audio, auxiliary video output and an optional audio headset are provided by a Breakout cable.

Set up was straightforward. The camera (including an integral microphone) was plugged into one breakout cable and positioned on top of the PC visual display unit. Software was supplied on a CD ROM but following advice from Zydacron a later version was downloaded from the Zydacron web site (www.zydacron.com) and installed on both systems.

The Zydacron OnWAN Z340 card and the host PC share a common IP address. During the set-up procedure user information including the IP address of the Gatekeeper, if one is deployed on the network, and the address of any on line directory are keyed into the OnWAN software menus.

The test procedure was carried out using PCs running Windows 98 in Edinburgh and Windows 2000 at Newcastle.

During the set-up period some serious problems were experienced that required the assistance of specialist network staff to diagnose and rectify. Very poor video quality was experienced between the two Zydacron OnWAN Z340 units. This was traced to auto negotiation problems between the host PCs and the local area network switches. Changing the switch settings to Fixed Full Duplex significantly improved the video performance. It was found that the OnWAN Z340 CODECS were also less tolerant of received packet loss than has been our experience during the evaluation of other manufacturer’s equipment.
