Type II/III PCMCIA slots – The MICB faceplate provides two Type II/III
PCMCIA card slots. These slots house the PCMCIA cards. Install the
PCMCIA hard drive card that stores voice prompts and firmware code
in the lower slot. Use the upper slot for upgrading the firmware, and
backing up and restoring customer data.
External equipment
VT100 type terminal
Use a VT100 terminal for initial card configuration. After initial card
configuration, use the BUI to perform operations, administration and
maintenance (OA&M). Connect the terminal to the MICB RS-232
interface using one of the following methods:
• Direct connections:
— directly to the IPE module I/O panel
— directly to the DB-9 connector on the NT5D52 Ethernet Adapter
card installed on the I/O panel
• Remote connections:
— to the IPE module I/O panel through a modem connection
The terminal interface must be set at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity. The flow control is hard wired (do not use XON/XOFF
flow control).
Ethernet application
MICB Ethernet use has the following characteristics:
• The MICB Ethernet connection is separated from the external LAN
traffic by a firewall.
• The Ethernet Adapter connection for MICB is NT5D52AA for the IPE
module application.
• The Ethernet provider assigns the IP address for the MICB. Enter
the IP address from the Maintenance terminal.
• To access the MICB CLI over the Ethernet, use a TELNET client on
a PC workstation or in the LAN.
