An operator can use the CLI to generate reports and perform port
maintenance. An administrator can use the CLI to manage system
administration, maintenance, and security.
To conduct conference OA&M for an ICB card, connect a terminal to the
RS-232 port or the Ethernet connector associated with that ICB card.
The maintenance terminal connects to each ICB card through an IPE
module I/O panel connector or through the Ethernet adapter card.
The Ethernet adapter provides two options:
direct terminal connection or modem connection to DB-9 connector
Ethernet connection, where multiple terminals connected to the
Ethernet can access an ICB card
For the Ethernet connection option, an IP address assigned to the ICB
card is required to enable access to the ICB through the LAN.
Figure 82 shows an Meridian system with two IPE modules. This
example shows each IPE module with one ICB card. Each ICB card
connects to its maintenance terminal through the associated IPE
module I/O panel connector. Use one terminal for all ICB cards by
moving the terminal cable to the I/O panel connector of the card to be
accessed.
