## Configuration Steps

The following steps are recommended to configure the MBG solution. You can adjust these steps to suit you own implementation.

To configure MBG:

1. Program support for devices:
   - If MiNet devices will connect to the MBG for teleworking, enable MiNet support and review the MiNet options.
   - If MiNet devices will connect to the MBG for call recording, enable MiNet support, enable Call Recording and review the MiNet options.
   - If SIP devices will connect to the MBG for teleworking, enable SIP support and review the SIP options.
   - If SIP devices will connect to the MBG for call recording, enable SIP support, enable Call Recording and review the SIP options.
2. Add ICP(s) and Configure the Default ICP.
3. Configure the Network Profile for the MBG.
4. Program your services:
   - Add the MiNet devices (singly or in bulk)
   - Add the SIP devices (singly or in bulk)
   - Configure the SIP Trunks (if used) and enable SIP support
   - Configure the Call Recording Equipment and Sets (if used)
5. (Optional) Configure the following:
   - IP Translation (for deployments with multiple servers in the DMZ)
   - Applications: MiVoice Business Console; MiCollab Client; MiContact Center; MiVoice Conference Unit.
   - Clustering
6. Start the MBG.

The following services are pre-configured during initial deployment of the solution:

- MiNet support and MiNet options for local streaming and ping before redirect
- SIP support and SIP options, including required allowed_uri
- ICPs
- Network Profile
- Port ranges
- Clustering
- Application Integration Voice Quality
- SIP trunking (using MiConfig Wizard)
- WebRTC support

Optionally, the following can be configured:

- Additional SIP Trunks
- Call Recording
- SIP options Set-side and ICP-side RTP security
