------------------------ H.323 Test Endpoints ------------------------
A variety of test endpoints are generally available for tests and trials.  
If one does not seem available, try another.  Video & sound sources
on test endpoints are least predictable.  Please make arangements prior 
to any serious tests.  Contact Jim Whitlock, <whitlock@buffalo.edu>, 
Pager: (716) 619-8180.

Test/Control 323 Endpoint & Stream Head-end:
  Zydacron Z360 NT:		E.164: <77811046>  

Test 323 Endpoint w/ DVD Movie:                     <<---- OFF-LINE
  VCON Escort NT:		E.164: <77811044>  

Test 323 Endpoint:                                  <<---- OFF-LINE
  Zydacron Z350 NT:		E.164: <77811030>


---------------------------- Live Streams ----------------------------
The Sandbox Windows Media Player and IP/TV streams both take their A/V feeds
from the Zydacron Z360 test endpoint at <77811046>.  If that endpoint has
established a connection to the MCU, then the MCU content will be the the 
stream content.  If you connect directly to the Z360 endpoint, then you will
be live on the streams yourself.  If you <Invite> the Z360 endpoint into
a conference on your own MCU, then your MCU content will be live on the 
streams, assuming that all facilities are fully functioning.  

The IP/TV stream servers have been generously provided by Cisco Corporation,

Please make arangements prior to any serious tests.  Contact Jim Whitlock,
