Long Summary
In this episode, we explore the concept of media bypass and how it allows us to route our audio straight through our office setup. This technology enables us to connect our office to the publicly switched telephone network (PSTN) as well as Teams, providing seamless communication channels.
Within our office, we have a team of MCTs who deliver both online and in-person training. To facilitate this, we utilize a small Wacom tablet that costs around $30 or euros. This tablet serves as a fantastic tool for our needs, allowing us to provide detailed explanations and illustrations during our training sessions.
One notable feature of our office setup is a big whiteboard. It is a versatile tool that we use to visualize concepts and ideas. For instance, we can draw a roof and chimney to represent an office scene. The drawing feature enhances our communication and helps us convey information effectively.
To manage the flow of communication within our office, we have a session border controller. This controller is strategically placed where our phone line enters the office, ensuring smooth and seamless communication between various devices and platforms.
Please note that to fully utilize the drawing feature, one needs to possess better drawing skills than mine (apologies for that!). However, once mastered, it becomes a powerful tool for enhancing communication in our office environment.
Brief Summary
In this episode, we explore media bypass, which allows seamless communication between our office and the PSTN and Teams. We utilize a Wacom tablet for training sessions and a versatile whiteboard for visualizing concepts. A session border controller ensures smooth communication within our office. The drawing feature enhances communication, despite my limited artistic skills.
