- The ICB:
- . Allows volume control by conference participants.
- . Allows volume control by conference participants.
- . Offers customized conference-specific greetings.
- . Enables users to acquire and release chairperson control while in a conference.
- . Delivers pre-meeting and post-meeting participants notifications.

- . Supports multiple conferences simultaneously.
- . Provides chairperson commands during an active conference.
- . Provides conferee commands during an active conference.
- . Allows conference extension beyond the scheduled time.
- . Issues a 10-minute warning, before the conference termination. Also issues a second warning, two minutes before conference termination.
- . Supports dial-in and voice prompts for multiple languages including: N.A. English, Latin-American Spanish, French, Brazilian P...
- . Provides conference password security, requiring the chairperson and/or the conferees to enter a Dual-Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) password before entering the conference.

- . Allows the first conferee joining the conference to turn off and turn on conference music.
- . Controls access to the conference in progress by monitoring the maximum number of scheduled attendees at each conference.
- . Manages time and date for scheduled conferences and reserves ports for each conference.
- . Provides recorded announcements to conferees who attempt to enter a meeting too early or after a meeting has ended.
- . Issues audible responses to conferees based on the conference activity.
- . Allows recording of a brand line (custom) greeting to replace the standard greeting.
- . Provides a scheduling display that indicates meeting reference number and whether a custom greeting has been created.
- . Provides scheduling receipts e-mailed to users (receipt includes the direct meeting access DN or the single DN access DN).
- . Provides for Microsoft Outlook integration using the calendar to schedule meetings.
- . Provides a second warning tone before ending the conference.
- . Allows users to copy a conference.
- . Allows the chairperson control of the conferee volume.
- . Provides current speaker indication.
- . Allows for questions and voting display.
- . Provides for default conference settings.
- . Allows users in the ICB card to access audio conference scheduling in Microsoft Outlook.
- . Supports 500 users per card.
- . Provides for up to 52 recurring conferences.
- . Allows the administrator to define a time zone.
- . Offers a toll-free prefix in the e-mail notification.
- . Provides separate user, chairperson, and administrator context help.
- . Provides enhancements to the billing report.

- Each ICB card occupies one slot in a Media Gateway chassis slot (CS 1000) or an IPE shelf (Meridian 1/CS 1000/CS 2100/SL-100). ICB Release 4 is based on a new hardware platform. The ICB card has the following hardware interface characteristics:
- Table 1 describes each hardware component of the ICB application. These components connect the ICB to the local or remote maintenance terminal.

- In typical configurations, the firewall does not allow any kind of access from the World Wide Web into the C-LAN. Only access from the C-LAN hosts to the World Wide Web is allowed (for example, HTTP and FTP).
- Hosts that need to be accessed from the World Wide Web must be placed in a special sub-network called the Green and Red LAN. The...
- On the other hand, C-LAN hosts require open access to the ICB for administration and maintenance.

- Define Phantom TN blocks
- Phantom TNs can be used, instead of ACD DNs, to serve as chairperson DNs, conferees DNs and TUI DNs.
- Enter the CS 1000 definitions for the Phantom TN in LD 10 as follows:

- Configure DNs for a dual-card conference
- Configure DNs for a dual-card conference
- When a dual-card conference is defined, two meetings are defined on two cards. First, the meeting is booked on the primary card ...
- When a user dials into a dual-card conference, the call can terminate either on the primary or on the secondary card. Calls to the dual-card conference main ACD DN are forwarded according to the ACD time overflow night table.
- On both cards (primary and secondary), the user cannot use the dual-card conference pair DNs for a simple meeting. Therefore, nine DNs are available for simple meeting and bridges.
- For a dual-card configuration, one card functions as the primary card and the other as the secondary card. Define for each card an ACD data block with an ACD DN in LD 23, as shown in
- For the primary card, configure the following DNs:
- Therefore, for the primary card, configure up to 20 DNs in LD 23 that Night Call Forward (NCFW) to the ACD DN of the primary card.
- For the secondary card, configure the following DNs:
- Therefore, for the secondary card, configure up to 22 DNs in LD 23 that Night Call Forward (NCFW) to the ACD DN of the secondary card.
- The main DN must also be configured for the dual-card conference. The main DN is the DN that conferees dial to enter the dual-ca...
