CRIC
The BIC Common RadioFrame Interface Card (CRIC) is located in the top front slot of the BIC.
The BIC CRIC provides the Ethernet switch fabric to route packets to/from the AIC and hosts a
microprocessor that serves as the primary controller of BPCs for system management purposes.
The BIC CRIC has a serial port for local serial access, and eight 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports.
Currently, ports 1 through 7 are not used; only port 8 is used for local Ethernet access.
