Overview
There are two ways to configure a conference on the Meridian Integrated
Conference Bridge (MICB) Release 3 system:
1Use the Browser User Interface (BUI).
2Use the Telephone User Interface (TUI).
The MICB Release 3 BUI is built into the MICB 3 Web server. It offers one
set of configuration options for administrators and a second set for other
users. The administrator interface is called the Dashboard.
• For information about BUI options for administrators, “Browser User
Interface (BUI) options for administrators” on page 7.
• For information about BUI options for non-administrators, “Browser
User Interface (BUI) options for non-administrators” on page 59.
The MICB Release 3 TUI lets administrators and other users enter commands
on a telephone keypad to configure conferences. For information about TUI
options, see “Telephone User Interface (TUI)” on page 85.
