Table 4.1 shows the roles for which an MCC-545C can be configured; this is just an overview of the general commands
needed for each role. The MCC-545C is not normally used in a Meteor Burst-only type of network.
Appendix F contains a description of the interoperability of all three types of MCC networks.
