1. You install up to six MICB 3 cards in an IPE shelf of the system. Each of the
MICB cards serves a specific set of users.
2. You connect cards to the corporate Intranet/Internet through a TCP/IP Ethernet
LAN, which is a 10BaseT physical connection.
3. You connect a CRT or Terminal Emulator directly to the serial port of the MICB 3.
You require this terminal for initial installation only. You perform all administration
and maintenance activities remotely.
4. Users and administrators access the cards from their desktops, which can be on
the global internet behind a firewall.
5. MICB 3 can co-exist with MICB 2 on the same switch, with or without the MICB 2
server. There is no interaction between MICB 2 and MICB 3.
