Nortel Integrated Conference Bridge Service Implementation Guide
The ICB communicates with the system software by emulating a digital 
line card (XDLC), which allows existing software to control the 
operation of the ICB. Configure each ICB port as an Automatic Call 
Distribution (ACD) M2616 digital telephone set.
System overview
The ICB comes as a single card, or a pair of cards if additional ports are 
required to support a dual-card meeting. Each card stands alone, even 
in the dual-card configuration. For dual-card meetings, the primary card 
uses ports on the secondary card. The following rules apply:
Each card (that is, the primary and secondary) has its own set of 
users. There is no “common list” for both cards.
To schedule a conference, the user logs into the card in which their 
account is defined. If the user has two accounts, one on each card, 
they must try each card separately to find available resources for 
the conference. There is no automatic pooling between cards.
A user, super-user, or executive-user can have accounts on many 
cards at a company (that is, a customer can have one person who 
administers multiple bridges for their company).
Dual-card conferences can only be scheduled by users on the 
primary card.
