Overview
This operation is used to configure the IP settings for the Application Solution Module (ASM). The SBC supports two ASM network adapters. Each adapter can be configured with IP settings, such as an IP address and DNS address (Network Adapter 2 is optional). This is an essential requirement in order to ensure that the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 Communication Service becomes operational.
| Note |
|---|
Before configuring the IP settings for the ASM, ensure you have prepared the SBA for deployment. See Preparing for SBA Deployment - First Steps. |

The third Ethernet port on the SBC 1000 is available only if running SBC 1000 v2 hardware. For hardware details, see Sonus SBC 1000 Hardware Specifications. |
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
In order for the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 communication service to be operational, the assigned ASM IP addresses must be configured on the same subnet as the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 host. If this has not been done correctly, the only operations that can be performed on the ASM are: |
Configuring the ASM Ethernet Port - Guidelines
After initial configuration, the Ethernet Port for the ASM can be configured to be on the same subnet as Ethernet Port 2 or 3 (for SBC 1000) or Ethernet Port 2, 3, or 4 (for SBC 2000).
Configuring the ASM Network Settings with DHCPv4 Disabled
| Info |
|---|
ASM configuration is also completed under Tasks > Lync™ Survivable Branch Appliance > Setup SBA> ASM Config. |
If you wish to statically define the IP address of the ASM, follow these instructions:
- In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to Application Solution Module > ASM Configuration.

- Select No from the DHCPv4 Enabled menu.
- Enter the required IP settings. For field definitions, see ASM Configuration - Field Definitions.
A "Current Activity Status" status window displays the progress of the change; this operation typically takes a few seconds.
| Note |

Configuring the ASM Network Settings with DHCPv4 Enabled
Using DHCP for the ASM IP address allows for the ASM to automatically receive an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network. DHCP can be enabled on Network Adapter 1 and Network Adapter 2.
| Warning |
|---|
Configuring both ASM network adapters as DHCP clients can generate conflict if not properly configured in the DHCP server. For details on DHCP servers and clients, see Working with Network Services. |
| Note |
|---|
The IP address assigned by the DHCP server must be on the same subnet as Sonus SBC 1000/2000 in order for Sonus SBC 1000/2000 Communication Service to function; consult with your network administrator to ensure this. If there is no DHCP server answering requests, a 169 addressing scheme is assigned to the ASM after a timeout period. |
| Info |
|---|
ASM configuration is also completed under Tasks > Lync™ Survivable Branch Appliance > Setup SBA> ASM Config. |
Enable DHCP:
- In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to Application Solution Module > ASM Configuration. For field definitions, see ASM Configuration - Field Definitions.

- Click Apply.
A "Current Activity Status" status window displays the progress of the change; this operation typically takes a few second to a few minutes, depending on the DHCP server answering for queries. Once the DHCP address assignment is complete, the IP address assigned to the ASM can be viewed via the Viewing the SBA Operational Status page.
