18 Product description

The ICB card provides announcements and tones that relate to specific events during conferences. These events include the following:

advising the chairperson and conferees of the status of the conference connection

indicating when a conferee joins or leaves the conference, and

warning the chairperson and the conferees when the conference is about to expire.

Technicians can install multiple ICB cards into:

a Media Gateway chassis shelf for a CS 1000

an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) shelf for a Meridian 1/CS 1000

an Option 11 shelf

an IPE shelf for a CS 2100/Meridian SL-100

Each ICB card can operate independently, providing up to 32 ports for a single conference. The ICB card can support up to ten simultaneous, separate conferences.

When users establish a single-card conference, they use the 32 ports on the card. If two conferences are held at the same time, they need to share the 32 ports. For example, if one user sets up a 10-port conference, the other can set up a 22-port conference.

Technicians can connect two ICB cards to provide up to 62 ports for a single conference. In dual mode, there can be only one dual-card meeting per pair of cards. The user database and access numbers are not shared in a dual-card configuration. There is a separate access number required for a dual-card meeting.

The ICB supports several simultaneous conferences. The number of conferences depends on the number of ICB ports available and the number of participants (conferees) in each conference. Each ICB card supports the following:

maximum number of participants as follows:

single-card: 32 participants

dual-card: 62 participants (unless Chairperson Control over a Dual-card Meeting is activated, in which case it is 60 participants)

any number of conferences (up to 10) with one or more participants in each conference
