Product Overview
The Cisco TelePresence® Serial GW 3340 is part of the industry-leading Cisco TelePresence videoconferencing solution. It allows transparent integration between IP and serial videoconferencing networks (Figure 1). A easy to configure appliance with feature transparency plus powerful dial-plan capabilities, it allows organizations using networks attached through serial interfaces to gain all the benefits from IP-based high-definition (HD) videoconferencing solutions.
Features and Benefits
Table 1 summarizes the key features of the Cisco TelePresence Serial GW 3340, and Figure 2 shows an example of secure serial connectivity to a videoconferencing multipoint control unit (MCU).
