Concise View of SBC Configuration

The concise view of configuration provides the current configuration fields (subset of the configuration). It is accessible only to admin, operator and field services groups.

For more information, refer to System Administration - View Config Summary.

Basic Configuration Workflow or Template Content

The SBC EMA is enhanced with the latest workflows and templates for you to customize the configuration. A workflow is a set of screens that takes you through a step-by-step process. The new workflow combines the existing configuration wizards and configuration template import tool with the new functionality.

For more information, refer to Configuration Workflows and Templates.

Visual First Call Setup and Template Tool

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

EMA Home Page

By default after logging in, the EMA home page opens showing the EMA Dashboard. The Dashboard provides system status information and links to helpful configuration tools and online help information. The content and appearance of the EMA Dashboard can be customized by each individual user and customizations persist from session to session. Refer to Home - Dashboard.

The Live Monitor can be opened directly from the default home page from a Live Monitor link. Live Monitor is a highly configurable tool that creates a range of graphs from SBC data for both real-time monitoring and historical performance monitoring. Live Monitor also remains accessible through the path: Monitoring > Dashboard > Live Monitor. Refer to Home - Live Monitor.

Custom Workspaces

If you are an SBC administrative user, you have access to the Custom Workspaces window where you can create customized EMA workspaces for other users. This tool is useful in defining the scope of EMA usage for non-administrative users by restricting them to certain EMA features, screens, and tools. Refer to Users and Application Management - Custom WorkspacesFor more information, refer to Configuration Wizards - Visual First Call Setup.
