# Initial Setup #### Before You Begin The initial configuration of the SBC is carried out 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](http://www2.telcobridges.com/ProSBCDownload) . * 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 interface. Once you have this information, proceed as described in the following procedures: #### Initial configuration of ProSBC 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: [http://192.168.178.30:12358](http://192.168.178.30:12358/) 2- A Configuration Wizard is displayed. * Click Continue
3- Accept the EULA agreement
4- Enter your activation key and hostname Note: You do not need to enter the host name for AWS.
5- Enter your SSH and WEB root password Note: You do not need to enter the SSH password for AWS.
6- Select the configuration of your SBC. Either standalone, or in a Primary/Secondary configuration Note: This does not apply for AWS.
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. Note: This does not apply for AWS.
8- In this window, you define the role of the network adapters in the system. The following 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 must configure all IP interfaces. If you are not sure, configure them as management interfaces.
``` Note: Select the "+" sign to acces more information about an interface. ```
``` Note: 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) ```
9- To add an Ethernet Bonding, click Add Bonding.
10- Enter a name for the Bonding Pair, followed by the LAN/WAN1 and LAN/WAN 2. * When you are done, click Continue.
11- A Confirmation window is displayed. * If you are satisfied with the configuration, click Confirm.
12- A warning message is displayed alerting you to the possible interruption of the IP interfaces when the change is applied. * Click OK.
13- After the bonding configuration is complete, you must reboot the system.
#### Configure the IP Interface of the Ethernet Bonded Port To use the newly created Ethernet bonded port, you must configure the VLAN port and IP interface. 1-Select IP Interface from the navigation bar. ![](https://telcobridges.gitbook.io/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.telcobridges.com%2Fw%2Fimages%2Fe%2Fef%2F7_IP_Interface_NavBar_A.png\&width=300\&dpr=4\&quality=100\&sign=771efcca\&sv=1) 2-Select the IP Interfaces tab. * Click Create New IP Interface.
3-Configure the VLAN port and IP address that will be used to access the Ethernet Bond interface. * The following image shows the bond0 configured port.
