Not applicable to SBC SWe Edge.
Usage of the Easy Configuration wizard to configure the SBC Edge Portfolio (SBC) does not modify existing configuration. The wizard will simply add the new configuration elements to the SBC.
The SBC Easy Configuration interface includes a built-in step-by-step wizard, which enables end-users to quickly deploy the SBC and Microsoft Teams. The SBC can be configured to connect a Microsoft Teams environment with a PSTN Provider through ISDN.
Step 1 - Configure Scenario
These instructions assume the SBC Easy Configuration wizard is running. See Using the Easy Configuration Wizard.
- In the WebUI, click the Tasks tab.
- In the left navigation pane, go to SBC Easy Setup > Easy Config Wizard.
From the Application dropdown list, select ISDN PTSN ↔ Microsoft Teams.
NoteOne unassigned ISDN Signaling port must be available for the ISDN application options to be displayed.
Configure per the field definitions below and click Next.
