About this document

Purpose and audience

This document instructs system administrators and installers how to
install, configure, operate, and maintain the Nortel Networks Integrated
Conference Bridge as a part of the overall Meridian system. In this
guide, Meridian system refers to either the Meridian 1, Nortel Networks
Communication Server 1000, or the Communication Server
2100/Meridian SL-100 switch. The Integrated Conference Bridge (ICB)
card allows you to schedule and configure multiple simultaneous
conferences.
You can install the ICB card in either the Meridian 1, Communication
Server 1000 (CS 1000), or CS 2100/Meridian SL-100. In the majority of
places the ICB operates the same way regardless of the system in
which you install it. When the information differs between the systems,
this guide contains separate sections for the Meridian 1 and CS 1000,
and the CS 2100/Meridian SL-100 (for example, configuration
information).

•“Installation and configuration” on page 45 – describes how to

chapter contains separate configuration sections for the Meridian 1
and CS 1000, and the CS 2100/Meridian SL-100.
