Ethernet-VBN 
Ethernet-VBN systems are used in areas such as conference and meeting 
rooms that have an existing Category 5 (CAT 5) Ethernet LAN infrastructure. 
Visitor computers connect physically to the ports on Ethernet-VBN switches 
as they would to a conventional Ethernet 10/100Base-T LAN. 
Note: The Ethernet-VBN transport system cannot be used simultaneously 
with the Enhanced Modem Billing method. See “VBN billing 
configurations” on page 1-17 for more information.
Ethernet-VBN transport architecture
Figure 1-4 shows an example of the YesWare Ethernet-VBN transport system 
architecture. See “Ethernet-VBN architecture requirements” on page 1-11 for 
the requirements to provision the Ethernet-VBN architecture.
