TSBC-SW:WebPortal:Initial Configuration

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

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 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:
