Applies to version(s): v3.0, v3.1

Initial configuration of the SBC is done through a web browser (Chrome, Firefox or other). Before starting, you need the following information:

  • Product key: it has the format VTB-XXX-XXXX. If you do not have this key, please go to our ProSBC Download site .
  • Hostname of the unit. It is important to set the hostname correctly and not modify it later, otherwise you will need a new license
  • Is the system used as a standalone unit or is it used in a Primary/Secondary configuration?
  • Does the system require external transcoding? As an example, G.711 to G.729a transcoding
  • Role of each of the network interfaces

Then, follow the procedure below.

Initial configuration of the SBC

1- Open a web browser to the IP of your server, on port 12358. Example if your server address is 192.168.178.30, the URL would be:
http://192.168.178.30:12358
2- You will get the SBC Configuration Wizard and click on Continue

7- If the system requires external transcoding, select it here. As an example, if the system needs G.711 to G.729a transcoding, then select yes.
** Not applicable for AWS.

8- Here you will choose the role of the network adapters in the system here is a short description of each type:

  • mgmt: Used for management of the system (suggested name: mgmt0)
  • ctrl0: Used for communication with the external transcoding devices (suggested name: ctrl0)
  • ctrl1: Same as ctrl0. Adds redundancy (suggested name: ctrl1)
  • LAN/WAN: SIP/RTP access to private network (suggested name: LAN0) or public network (suggested name: WAN0).

You need to configure all IP interfaces. In case of doubt, configure them as management interfaces.

If 1+1 (control networks ctrl0/ctrl1) or multiple vlan interfaces are needed, make sure all of them are assigned to the appropriate MAC address taken from the Platform (VMware Instance settings or other)
