How to use this document

This guide provides core installation and programming
information for MICS 7.1 and MICS-XC 7.1 systems.
• The MICS system can be a mini (no expansion cartridge
installed), a midi (installed with a two-port expansion
cartridge), a maxi (installed with a six-port expansion
cartridge), or a mega (Combination Fiber six-port Services
Cartridges and Services cartridges for a total of 14 ports)
system. For more information about the configurations,
see Connecting expansion modules on page 242.
• The MICS-XC system has all the functionality of MICS,
plus it supports module 13 and 14, which, starting with this
release, provides additional digital/analog telephone
support as well as the legacy Companion wireless
functionality. This version of MICS software supports
existing Companion functionality, although the product is
no longer available. If your system will continue to use
Companion handsets, refer to Companion documentation
from previous releases for installation and configuration
information.
Both systems support ISDN PRI and BRI, and T1
functionality. All MICS 7.1 functionality is described in this
book. For system coordinators, the MICS 7.1 System
Coordinator Guide explains how to perform common
telephone programming.
Information that is specific to MICS-XC systems or MICS
systems is clearly marked within this guide.
Note: Throughout this guide, reference to KSU refers to
the Integrated Communication System (ICS).
