60 Installation and configuration Dual-card configuration

The dual-card configuration enables a single conference to occur on two cards and have up to 62 participants depending on access type. In the dual-card configuration, one card is the primary card, and the other is the secondary card. Each card can host single-card conferences of three to 32 participants, or a dual-card conference, which occupies ports on both cards.

Note: There is no need for ICB cards in a dual-card configuration to reside next to each other in an IPE shelf. Software establishes the audio connections between the two cards. There is no hardware connection between the two cards.

Datafill the following tables and command interfaces for dual-card configuration:

table LNINV

table ACDGRP

table ACDSGRP

table ACDRTE (requires a new entry)

table ACDLOGIN

table DNROUTE

table OFRT

Figure 20 on page 61 provides an example of the datafill for dual-card setup.

Note: If single-number access is being used, DN pairs are not

required. Instead configure two single-number access DNs: one for callers to use to access simple conferences on the primary card and one for callers to use to access simple conferences on the secondary card.
