Not supported by SBC SWe Lite.

Purpose

An enterprise may plan to deploy Cloud PBX (defined at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt612869.aspx) services at a future time. In the interim, the same enterprise may have/choose to deploy Skype for Business 2015 Server on-premises. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/gg398095.aspx .

To minimize SBC-related expenses, Ribbon presents you with the option of deploying a Cloud Link device (intended to support Cloud PBX-related local PSTN voice services) as a Survivable Branch Appliance ("SBA", primarily used with on-premises Skype for Business 2015 Server deployments). When you choose to migrate to Cloud PBX services, no additional SBC hardware expenses will be incurred.

This article explains how to re-purpose a Ribbon Cloud Link device into a
