Abstract

A system including a broadband switch (250) includes a controller (257) which coordinates video call set-up and a switch (254) for connecting various phone line together through diplexers. The system permits video telephone conferencing and other video related applications to be performed over ordinary telephone wires. Two diplexer/modems are typically provided for each user: one (241) at the user's telephone jack and another (251) at the central PBX location (250) for that user's telephone line. The PBX connections can usually be made in a central wiring closet. A video server (260) can also be provided which retrieves video images from disk to provide on demand to users. The existing PBX handles the switching of normal telephone audio signals, and a broadband data switch handles the switching or broadband signals over the same telephone wires that the PBX uses.
