Using the Easy Config wizard to configure the SBC Edge Portfolio does not modify an existing configuration. The wizard simply adds the new configuration elements to the SBC.


The SBC Easy Config interface includes a built-in, step-by-step configuration wizard that enables quick and easy deployment of the SBC  with a SIP Trunk from a Provider to an IP PBX. The SBC can be configured using the Easy Config wizard as described here.

For SBC 1000/2000 and SBC SWe Edge, the following SIP Trunks are supported:

  • ATT SIP Trunk
  • KDDI SIP Trunk
  • NTT DOCOMO Officelink
  • Other SIP Trunk
  • SoftBank ConnecTalk
  • Softbank White Office
  • Telstra Enterprise SIP Connect 
  • Verizon SIP Trunk


NTT DOCOM Officelink, SoftBank ConnecTalk, SoftBank White Office, Telstra Enterprise SIP Connect, ATT SIP Trunk, and KDDI SIP Trunk are supported by SBC 1000/2000 only.
