In this section:
The SBC Easy Config interface includes a built-in, step-by-step configuration wizard that enables quick and easy set up of the SBC in a deployment that includes endpoints for an IP PBX and Microsoft Teams.
Step 1 - Select Scenario
Start
In the WebUI, click the Tasks tab.
In the left navigation pane, go to SBC Easy Setup > Easy Config Wizard.
TipMake sure the SBC Easy Configuration wizard is running. For details, refer to Using the Easy Configuration Wizard. The Easy Config wizard on the SBC 1000/2000 creates the requested configuration by using the current configuration as a starting point. Existing configuration elements are retained, and the requested endpoint configuration are added as new configuration elements.
- From the Application dropdown list, select IP PBX ↔ Microsoft Teams.
- Configure per the field definitions below and click Next.
Scenario Field Definitions

Note
The E911 Elin number from the "CompanyName" field configured in Skype location services is used as the authoritative Callback Number for outgoing E911 calls, and is always the preferred configuration. Specifically, the location services configuration for the calling client will take precedence over any Callback Numbers indicated in the Easy Config wizard. For more information, refer to Creating and Modifying Entries to Transformation Tables. |
Emergency Callback Number 1 | First Callback Number in string format. This field displays only when ELIN Identifier or E911/E112 is the value set for the Emergency Services field. |

Listening Port Number | Port number used for sending and receiving SIP messages between the SBC and the Border Element Server. |
Teams Connection Type - Local Media Optimization (Microsoft Teams Direct Routing media flow uses the shortest path to improve the SBC Edge's media quality and bandwidth usage) | |
Signaling/Media Source IP (Teams Attributes) | External (Internet-facing) IP address of the Microsoft Teams Direct Routing server that handles routing of messages for signaling and media. |
Private Media Source IP | Private IP address that handles routing of messages for media. |
Outbound NAT Traversal | Allows the SBC to be placed behind a NAT device, and uses the IP of the NAT device for all outgoing messages. If this field is set to Enable, the Public IP address field configuration is required. Valid options:
Note
This field is required when the SBC interface has a private IP and the NAT device is using a public IP. For details on configuring an SBC behind the NAT, refer to Configuring the SBC Edge Portfolio for NAT Traversal. |
Public IP Address | Specifies the Public IP address of the NAT device. The SBC uses this IP as the source IP for all the outgoing messages. This field is required only when Outbound NAT Traversal is configured to Enable. |
