Info

titleAttention

Remember these important considerations when running Setup Wizard:

  1. Plan to run the Setup Wizard only once, since you can only define the IP addresses and host name of the internal configuration container and
    Spacevars
    0product4
    VM once when they are initially created. To update the settings later, you must perform a factory reset of the device and then rerun the Setup Wizard. A few specific cases may warrant rerunning the Setup Wizard: 
    1. Changing the memory assigned to the 
      Spacevars
      0product4
      VM, such as when the intent is to change an existing setup to use 30 cps vs 10 cps
    2. Changing the vCPU assigned to the
      Spacevars
      0product4
      VM
    3. Adding extra interfaces to the 
      Spacevars
      0product4
      VM
  2. The Setup Wizard "save" option is only allowed when the user is running Setup Wizard from a telnet or console session and not via an SSH session. Attempting to save while connected from an SSH session results in an error message. This is to ensure that the user has access to the device in case the user incorrectly configures the network and the device becomes isolated. 

Prerequisites

  • Login access to the 

    Spacevars
    0product
    CLI as user system administrator (sysadm).

Note that initially, the serial console port of the front panel provides the login access, either directly from a physically connected laptop or remotely via a terminal server. Refer to Edge 8000 Front and Back Panels for the location and description of the console port. Once the setup is complete, you can access the CLI remotely through a secure shell (ssh) connection using port 22 and the management interface IP address established with Bridge 2. See Complete the BR1, 2, 4, and 5 Menus of this workflow.

Additional notes:

Network-side PRI (T1Net or E1Net) enables the

Spacevars
0product
's SIP User Agent (SIP_UA) to provide a standard ISDN PRI network-side interface to a legacy TDM PBX and mimic the behavior of legacy phone switches. The SIP_UA receives calls from a TDM PBX and connects the calls to the IP network using SIP and vice versa.

User-side PRI (T1User or E1User) enables the

Spacevars
0product
's SIP gateway (SIP_GW) to provide a standard PRI client-side interface to the PSTN. The SIP_GW receives calls from the IP network and connects them through PRI to the PSTN and vice versa.

    The total number of core CPUs is 8, shared between the SBC SWe Edge and 6WIND.

    See section Complete the SWe-Edge Settings Menu on this page to set the number of core CPUs used by SBC SWe Edge.

    For example, to select 6 as the number of 6WIND fastpath core CPUs, you must set the number of SBC SWe Edge CPUs to 2 or 1.
