• 0x08 - extend autoboot countdown timer to 15 seconds
• 0x40 - use DHCP for wancom0 (VM Edition only)
• 0x80 - network boot using TFTP instead of FTP

Set Entitlements Wizard

Use the Set Entitlements wizard to enter the maximum number of sessions that your license allows.

• Note the session limit number from your license.

You can launch the Set Entitlements wizard on the Web GUI in either Basic mode or Expert mode.

1. From the Web GUI, click Configuration, Wizards, Set Entitlements.
2. In the Set Entitlements dialog, do the following:

   Advanced	Select to add the Advanced license.
   Session Capacity	Enter the session limit number from the license.

3. Click Complete.
   The system displays a success message.
4. Click OK.

Set Initial Configuration Wizard

Use the Set Initial Configuration wizard to perform the initial configuration on an unconfigured system and to change the configuration on a configured system. During the configuration, you select the scope of configuration that you want to perform, define the boot parameters, opt to set a VLAN, and configure features such as High Availability (HA) and access to the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager (OC SDM). A valid license is required to run the Set Initial Configuration wizard.

Launch the Set Initial Configuration Wizard

• Unconfigured system. The system launches the Web GUI Set Initial Configuration wizard upon the first logon. When the initial configuration is complete, the system saves the configuration, activates the configuration, and reboots. The system does not backup the initial configuration of an unconfigured system.
• Configured system. From the Configuration tab on the Web GUI, click the Wizards button and click Set Initial Configuration. When the re-configuration is complete, the system saves a backup of the existing configuration, saves the new configuration, activates the new configuration, and reboots. The backup is stored in /code/bkups.

Before you can configure the E-SBC, the wizard requires you to make the following selections that determine which configuration parameters the wizard displays.

Enable Web GUI: Yes or No	If you select No, you may continue using the wizard to set the initial configuration until you reboot. After you reboot, the system no longer displays the Web GUI. If you want to enable the Web GUI in the future, configure the web-server-config object from the ACLI.
Choose Web GUI Mode: Basic or Expert	When selecting Basic mode or Expert mode, the decision is about how much control you want in the configuration process and whether or not you want to use one of more of the advanced features and settings provided in Expert mode. In Basic mode, the system displays the minimum number of settings that you need to successfully deploy and operate the E-SBC. While you cannot configure the advanced settings and features in Basic mode, you can switch to Expert mode to do so. Note that when you switch to Expert mode and perform Save, you cannot switch back to Basic mode. The Web GUI will display the Expert mode from then on, including after a new log on. In Expert mode, you can use the advanced settings and options to control the configuration with more granularity. The system does not require you to configure all advanced settings and features. You can choose what you need for your deployment.
E-SBC Mode: Standalone or High Availability	If you select Standalone, you can begin configuring the parameters displayed. If you select High Availability, the GUI adds E-SBC Role: Primary/Secondary to the display.
E-SBC Role: Primary or Secondary	If you selected High Availability for E-SBC Mode: Select Primary, and configure the displayed parameters. Select Secondary, and select Yes or No for Acquire Configuration from Primary. If you select No, the GUI adds a field where you enter the Peer Target Name.

Note:

Unlike other E-SBCs, which provide 2 management interfaces and 2 media interfaces, the Acme Packet 1100 provides 1 management interface and 2 media interfaces. When configuring HA, the configuration dialogs for the Acme Packet 1100 differ from the other E-SBCs because you must create a second, virtual management interface. For creating the second management interface, the HA dialogs on the Acme Packet 1100 contain more attributes than the dialogs for the other E-SBCs. Regardless of the E-SBC model, the path through the Set Initial Configuration wizard to the HA dialogs is the same as described in this topic.

Configure the System

The system requires an initial configuration of attributes, such as modes and IP addresses, before it can function in the network.

Use the Set initial configuration wizard to define the attributes for the system. The system displays the Set initial configuration wizard upon the first logon.

   The system displays the Set initial configuration wizard.
2. Run the Set initial configuration wizard, and click Complete.
   The system saves the configuration, activates the configuration, and reboots.

Reconfigure the System

You can reconfigure the system from the Web GUI.

Use the Set initial configuration wizard to change the initial configuration on a configured system, for example, change attributes such as IP addresses and modes.

1. Log on to the system.
2. From the Web GUI, go to Configuration, wizards, set initial configuration.
3. Run the Set initial configuration wizard and change the attributes, as needed.
4. Click Complete.
   The system saves a backup of the existing configuration, saves the new configuration, activates the new configuration, and automatically reboots.

• (Optional) Reconfigure the system objects.

Set License Wizard

Use the Set License wizard to enter the serial number for your license.

• Obtain the license, which includes the serial number, for the feature that you want to add to the deployment. See "Obtain a License" in the ACLI Configuration Guide.
