Basic Mode Configuration

Basic mode is a graphical method for deploying and configuring the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) in the network.

The Basic mode workspace consists of a toolbar and a workspace onto which you can drag-and-drop icons to configure the E-SBC. The E-SBC is centered between the Enterprise network on the left and the Service Provider network on the right.

This image is a screen capture of the basic mode workspace. The workspace displays the SBC in its center, and the icons that you can drag onto the workspace are displayed in a vertical arrangement at the lefthand side of the workspace. The area to the left of the SBC is the enterprise side of the network and the area to the right of the SBC represents the service provider side of the network.

To populate the network, drag-and-drop elements from the Devices tool bar on the left of the page onto the workspace. As you drop an icon onto the workspace, the element connects to the E-SBC and a dialog displays where you configure that element. Elements in the toolbar are associated either with Enterprise or Service Provider. If you drag-and-drop an element to an incorrect location on the workspace, the system displays the following error message: "This icon cannot be placed here."

You can create local policies between the elements on the workspace, add new network interfaces to the E-SBC, and group like elements. No configuration parameters other than those available in Basic mode are required to deploy the E-SBC. If your deployment requires a more robust configuration, you can click Show Advanced in Basic mode dialogs that offer additional parameters or you can switch to Expert mode.

Note:

The Web GUI does not indicate required fields and the system does not display an error message for a missing required parameter.
