Page History

Visual First Call Setup is an EMA based tool that guides you through the procedure of configuring the SBC for processing calls in an experimental setup.

Use the Visual First Call Setup tool to configure the SBC for processing low volume of calls. The most typical use case is testing a new feature of the SBC in an experimental/laboratory set up, under light to moderate levels of traffic. Sonus recommends using other standard procedures for configuring SBCs for production deployments.

   Info
   title Note - Error Messages
   While configuring various elements of the Visual First Call Setup tool, you may encounter error messages of two types: Error messages that results from unacceptable values entered against the fields. These error messages are generated on the front-end of the EMA web application, and the Javascript code running on your browser displays such messages promptly. Error messages you receive from the back-end of the EMA web application. A small web server runs on the SBC, which serves the EMA application over http/https protocol. Sometimes, the code running on the web server finds values that you enter against the fields as unacceptable due to constraints placed by the back-end logic, even if the values are within the bounds imposed by Sonus. For example, if you set the field Port Name as pkt0 (displayed on the Edit Media IP Interface window) for both Internal (PBX) as well as External (Carrier) side of the setup, an error message is generated from the back-end and displayed on your browser.
