5.5 Installing Communication Interfaces
The Islander Prime pedestal pole has three slots in which communication interface cards can
be added. Each communication interface card is embedded into a blade, which slides into the
slot. Slot 1 and Slot 2 can support either mechanical or electronic interfaces, and Slot 3
