MUX Module

The MUX Module multiplexes and demultiplexes the audio, video, data, and control information. Information arrives at the MUX Port in Nx56/64 Kbps channels formatted according to the ITU-T H.221 standard for framing (“Frame Structure for a 64 Kbps to 1920 Kbps Channel in Audiovisual

Teleservices”).

H.323 video conferences do not require a MUX card. The H.323 card has a build in MUX functionality.
