Getting started
Overview This document provides the steps to configure three reference topologies
and their interconnections for the Small and Medium Business (SMB)
portfolio.
Use these example topologies only as a reference when you configure
your unique solution.
To reduce redundant documentation, reference the specific quick install
guides, configuration guides, and release notes.
Configuring each of the SMB reference topologies consists of individual
device configuration and solution-level configuration. All devices
(Business Secure Router [BSR222], Business Ethernet Switches [BES50,
BES100/200, BES1000], and Business Access Point [BAP120]) include a
Web interface to configure the device. The Element Manager provides a
centralized management application for launching these Web interfaces.
The Element Manager also provides integrated configuration panels for the
Business Communications Manager (BCM) and for the Business Ethernet
Switch (BES) devices.
The Business Element Manager (EM) provides a computer-based client
interface that can connect to devices over an IP network and display the
programming interface for that device. You can manage SMB devices using
the Web-based user interface that you launch from the Element Manager.
Through the Element Manager, you can configure necessary device
parameters and all the parameters for each of the reference topologies.
How to use this guide
Use this document to guide you through the steps that are required to
configure your site.

10 Getting started
First step
Assemble all tools and documentation required to configure your SMB
network. See "SMB Preconfiguration checklist" (page 12).
Second step
Determine which reference topologies and interconnected topologies most
closely resemble your unique solution.
Then read the following sections of this guide for more detail:
•"New products" (page 13)
•"Existing products" (page 15)
•"Reference topologies and assumptions" (page 18)
The reference topologies do not represent a definitive solution for your
network but do offer detailed procedures that can provide a guideline for
your implementation.
•"IP addressing for SMB devices and DHCP" (page 19)
•"Installing the Business Element Manager" (page 21)
Stand-alone SMB sites
If your requirement is
•solely for data connectivity with no requirement for voice solutions, then
configure your site based on the "Smaller converged site (Greenfield
and infrastructure replacement)—reference topology 2" (page 37).
•IP or traditional telephony or both, and data connectivity, then configure
your site based on the "Smaller converged site (Greenfield and
infrastructure replacement)—reference topology 2" (page 37).
•IP or traditional telephony or both, and data connectivity, and Guest
Access application service, then configure your site based on the
"Converged small site (mixed-vendor environment)—reference topology
1" (page 23).
Linked SMB sites
Linked SMB sites offer two main types of solutions:
•IP trunk linked sites
•main and remote linked sites
In IP trunk linked site scenarios, both sites have a BCM telephony call
server and hence are independent. An H.323 IP trunk links the sites for
harmonized private dialing plans through branch office virtual private
