Configuration Overview
Overview
The Prisma II Reverse Receivers are shipped from the factory with operational
parameters set to factory defaults. However, you will probably choose to configure
the operating parameters so that they are best suited for your application.
Configuration and Monitoring Methods
The reverse receiver may be controlled using one of three different methods.
The Prisma II Intelligent Communications Interface Module (ICIM)
•
If an ICIM is installed in the Prisma II Chassis, it may be used to configure and
monitor Prisma II application modules within its domain. For instructions on
operating this module using the ICIM, refer to Chapter 3, Operation Using the
ICIM.
• The Local Craft Interface (LCI) software
The Local Craft Interface (LCI) software running on a locally connected PC may
be used to configure operating parameters of Prisma II modules. For instructions

Using LCI.
• Cisco's Transmission Network Control System (TNCS) software.
If the ICIM is installed, TNCS software may be used to configure and monitor all
functions of the Prisma II modules. For instructions on operating this module
