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
