The Easy Setup feature provides a template for end-users to quickly configure and deploy the SBC 1000. When Easy Setup is enabled, a user interface Wizard is provided upon login. Items such as endpoint (define user and provider), routing (routing configuration applied to scenario), and country (tone table parameters and emergency numbers for a particular country) are configured. If you choose not to deploy the Wizard at initial setup, it is available through the Tasks tab for later configuration.

Options:

Launch on First Login. Easy Setup is launched following initial setup. See Working with SBC Easy Configuration for configuration details.

Do Not Launch. Easy Setup is not launched following initial setup. To configure the Wizard later, see Using the Easy Configuration Wizard.

Enables or disables the use of an IP address with Ethernet 2. If you select Yes, the IPv4 Address and Netmask fields are visible. This field is required.

Enter the IP address through which the SBC communicates over Ethernet. The IP address in this field will be configured onto Ethernet Port #2. This field is required.

The Netmask will be applied to the Ethernet 2 IPv4 address.

Determines how the ASM configures its network interface. When set to Yes, it enables the ASM to automatically configure its network interface from the DHCP server reachable via the SBC 1000's Ethernet Port #1. Ensure that the IP address is on the same subnet as those provided by your DHCP server. When set to No, the IPv4 Address field is displayed and the ASM IP address must be entered manually.

This option is set to No by default.

Specify the IPv4 address for the ASM. This field is available only when DHCP Enabled is set to No. This field is required.

Enables/disables the Password Recovery mechanism. If this field is set to Yes, you are able to initiate the password recovery mechanism for loss of the Admin password. For detailed information about recovering a passwords, see Recovering Admin Passwords. Password Recovery is set to No (disabled) by default.

The IP address of the secondary DNS server. This field is displayed only when Use Secondary DNS is set to Yes.

Enter the destination IP Address. This field is required.

Enter the network mask of the destination host or subnet.This field is required.

Enter the IP Address of the next-hop router to use for this Static Route. This field is required.

Enter the cost of this route, which indirectly specifies the preference of the route. Lower values indicate more preferred routes. Typical value is 1 for most static routes, which indicates that static routes are preferred to dynamic routes. Valid entry: 1 - 255. This field is required.

Once you have clicked OK, you may connect the SBC 1000 to your network using Ethernet Port 1. The SBC will now be reachable on its new IP address - you may browse to it now.
