Using Templates for VoLTE Configuration

Overview

Configuration files are .cli files, which are used to store parameter values for a particular CLI configuration on the SBC. When required, these configuration files can be used to set up SBC through EMA GUI for the required configuration without going to each window and changing the parameter values manually. Each configuration file stores one particular type of configuration and is used to configure SBC only for that configuration.

The Configurations tab allows the administrator and users to view the current CLI configuration on the SBC, as well provides the tools to import and export configurations.

• Create Configuration file for current configurations
