About this document
This document is a global document. Contact your system supplier or
your Nortel Networks representative to verify that the hardware and
software described are supported in your area.
Subject
The subject of this document is the installation, configuration,
operation, and maintenance of the Meridian Integrated Conference
Bridge (MICB) as a part of the overall system. The MICB card allows
you to schedule and configure multiple simultaneous conferences.
You can install the MICB card in Succession 1000M, Succession 1000,
Meridian 1, or Meridian SL-100 systems. In the majority of places the
MICB operates the same way regardless of the system in which you
install it. When the information differs between systems, this guide
contains separate sections for the Meridian SL-100 and the
Succession 1000M, Succession 1000, and Meridian 1 (for example,
configuration information).
