To conduct conference OA&M for an MICB card, connect a terminal to
the RS-232 port or the Ethernet connector associated with that MICB
card. The maintenance terminal connects to each MICB card through
an IPE module I/O panel connector or through the Ethernet adapter
card.
The Ethernet adapter provides two options:
•
•
For the Ethernet connection option, an IP address assigned to the
MICB card is required to enable access to the MICB through the LAN.
Figure 67 shows a system with two IPE modules. This example shows
each IPE module with one MICB card. Each MICB card connects to its
maintenance terminal through the associated IPE module I/O panel
connector. Use one terminal for all MICB cards by moving the terminal
cable to the I/O panel connector of the card to be accessed.
