This chapter provides information for connecting to the Switch Module and the Remote
Module. The Switch and Remote units’ Management Console (MC) and/or Management
Browser (MB) can be accessed with a PC or terminal connected. The Remote unit’s
Telephone Management Interface (TMI) can be accessed via the Digital phone.
