How many ICB Cards can you install in a CS1000M 5.0?

[Chopper27]

How many ICB Cards can you install in a CS1000M 5.0? We currently only have two installed but we have a huge need for more conferencing ports for day to day conference calls of parties of 30 or more. We have assigned two different conference numbers with 32 ports each. We would like to add quite a few more ICB cards if possible but we think we can only add two more. Does anyone know? Thanks

As far i know only two Cards are possible .
The NTP 553-3001-358 explains two Card soloutions only .
Otherwise i had only two small Systems as experience

The real question is what is the maximum number of ports that can be in one system and how many in one conference. The two card configuration bonds two ICB cards together to give you a maximum of 62 ports in a conference. This is base on two 32 port cards where one port from each card is used to bond to the other card.

You can have as many ICBs as you have shelf and ISM capacity. However each one or two card versions will be an island and cannot be combined in a single conference call.

Hope this helps!
