Use the following steps to insert new ICB equipment:
Step Action
1. To add equipment within an existing list:
Move to the line just below where the new equipment should be added and select the + from the tool-
bar.
To add equipment to the end of a list:
Move past the last item in the list and a blank line will be added.
2. IAD with Local Connection
Local connection is connected to the same LAN as the management PC.
Enter the NMS address of the ICB. The NMS address of the ICB is determined by the ADDRESS ID
switch setting of the T1 card in the ICB according to the following:
For a unit that is directly connected to the PC/LAN, the address will be the ADDRESS ID switch setting
of the T1 card plus 1. So, the following would be true:
ADDRESS ID switch setting + 1 = NMS address of the ICB
Mathematically, this statement is represented as follows:
4 + 1 = 5 (If the ADDRESS ID switch was set to 4)
IAD with Remote Connection
Remote connection is connected via a T1 to a local connected ICB.
For a remote ICB managed through a local ICB, the NMS address will be the NMS address of the local
ICB, plus the ADDRESS ID switch setting of the remote unit times16. The equation would be:
Local ICB NMS address + (Remote ADDRESS ID switch setting X 16) = NMS address of the remote
ICB
For example, if the local NMS ICB address is 5 and the ADDRESS ID of the remote switch setting is 2,
37 would be the NMS address of the ICB.
Mathematically, this statement is represented as follows:
5 + (2 X 16) = 37.
Note: The remote ICB ADDRESS ID switch setting must be greater than 0 and less than 8.
Each remote ICB connected to the local ICB in a drop/reinsert configuration must have different AD-
DRESS ID switch settings.
3. Enter a description for the new device (see Table 3). Descriptions must be unique for each ICB.
5. Enter the IP address of the ICB connected to the LAN. For remote units that are managed through a
local ICB, enter the IP address of the local ICB. If an ICB is connected directly to a LAN it can be man-
aged as a local unit regardless of it’s physical location.
The ADDRESS ID switch on the front panel of the T1 card is used to set an ICB NMS address for identification
of this ICB in a network of ICBs. The ADDRESS ID switch consists of 4 switches binary coded and used to set a
unique ICB NMS address. The following figure shows the value of each switch:

Switch Value
An ADDRESS ID is created by moving a switch (or switches) to the ON position. The figure shows an ADDRESS
ID switch setting of 6 (4+2). The range of ADDRESS ID switch settings is from 0 (when all switches are OFF), to
15 (when all switches are ON).
