{{DISPLAYTITLE:ProSBC/FreeSBC Initial Configuration}}
The initial configuration of the SBC is done by accessing a configuration wizard in a web browser (Chrome, Firefox or other). 
Before you begin, you must have the following information on hand:
* '''Product key''': In the following VTB-XXX-XXXX format. If you do not have this key, please go to our [http://www2.telcobridges.com/ProSBCDownload ProSBC Download site] .
* '''Hostname''' of the unit. It is important to set the host name correctly and to not modify it later, otherwise you will need a new license.
* Will the system be used as a '''standalone''' unit or in a '''Primary/Secondary''' configuration?
* Does the system require '''external transcoding'''? For example, G.711 to G.729a transcoding.
* The role of each of the '''network interfaces'''

Once you have this information, proceed as indicated below:

== Initial configuration of the SBC ==
1- Open a web browser to the IP of your server, on port 12358.  For example, if your server address is 192.168.178.30, the URL would be: <br/> http://192.168.178.30:12358 <br/> 
2- An SBC Configuration Wizard is displayed.

8- Here you will choose the role of the network adapters in the system here is a short description of each type:<br/>
* 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.<br/>

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)
