Set Boot Parameters Wizard
The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) requires you to enter the necessary parameters to boot the system in your deployment.
You can set the E-SBC boot parameters from the Set Boot Parameters wizard on the Web GUI in either Basic mode or Expert mode.
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.
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.
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.

E-SBC Mode: Standalone or High Availability |

E-SBC Role: Primary or Secondary | If you selected High Availability for
E-SBC Mode:

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.
- Configure 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.
You can launch the Set License wizard on the Web GUI in either Basic mode or Expert mode.
Set Logon Banner Wizard
Use the Set Logon Banner wizard to add customized text to the logon page.
You can customize the logon page by adding text to help the user. For example, Welcome to <company name> <business unit> <location> session border controller <device name>.
Set Time Zone Wizard
The system requires a setting for time zone.
You can set the system time from the Set Time Zone wizard on the Web GUI. You can select a time zone or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The wizard is available in Basic Mode and Expert Mode.

You can upgrade the system software with the Upgrade Software wizard on the Web GUI.
Use the Upgrade Software wizard to perform the following tasks:
- Check the system health before the upgrade

The system requires a reboot after the upgrade for the changes to take effect.
