Option 11C BRI for Video 1

[tsinc]

Hi folks,

My company is looking to replace 3 dedicated BRI circuits for a Polycom videoconference station with BRI through our Option 11C. I have the MISP and SILC cards in the switch, programmed 3 BRI ports, and x-connected to the video room.

Question - all of the Nortel documentation refers to a "Terminating Resistor" A0378866 at the end of each BRI run from a SILC. Does anyone know if this is really required? What is does? Etc ... I was looking to just term the BRI's with RJ45 cables direct from the jacks and leave it at that ... but do I need to loop the x-connects through the bix and end each of the 3 circuits at this "resistor"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it helps with both noise and connect speed.. it will work without those.. i've never put one in without them but techs here have reported getting by with no side effects that the user could notice
