Supported Operating Systems
PortSIP SBC supports the following operating systems:
Preparing the Server for Installation
The following tasks must be completed before installing PortSIP SBC.
System Preparation
Ensure the system date and time are correctly synchronized.
Linux: Perform installation using a user with sudo privileges.
Windows: Installation must be performed using the Administrator account.
Assign static IP addresses:
If the server is located on a LAN, assign a static private IP address.
If the server is on a public network, assign both a static public IP and a static private IP.
Install all available OS updates and service packs before installation.
Do not install PostgreSQL on the PortSIP SBC server.
Disable all power-saving options for the system and network adapters (set the system to High Performance mode).
Do not install TeamViewer, VPN software, or similar tools on the host machine.
The PortSIP SBC must not be installed on a server acting as a DNS or DHCP server.
Firewall and Network Requirements

This guide assumes that you have already installed the PortSIP PBX by following the guide:
Installation of the PortSIP PBX
Installing PortSIP SBC and PBX on the Same Server
The PortSIP SBC can be deployed on the same server as the PortSIP PBX.
In this configuration:
The PBX handles SIP calling directly
The SBC provides WebRTC services and enables Microsoft Teams Direct Routing
Example Server Configuration
Public IP: 66.175.221.120
Domain: uc.portsip.cc, Resolved to: 66.175.221.120
Execute the commands below on the PBX server to install the SBC:
After installation, follow the guide: Configure PortSIP SBC on the Same Server as PortSIP PBX
Installing PortSIP SBC on a Separate Server
In most deployments, the PortSIP SBC is installed on a separate server from the PBX.
In this architecture:
The SBC acts as the front-end edge component
The PBX remains transparent to end users
Example Server Configuration
PBX Server (Private IP): 192.168.1.72
SBC Server (Private IP): 192.168.1.73
SBC Server (Public IP): 66.175.221.120
Domain Configuration
Domain: sbc.portsip.cc, resolved to: 66.175.221.120
Install PortSIP SBC on Linux (Separate Server)
Step 1: Initialize the Environment
On the dedicated server used to install the PortSIP SBC, execute the following commands:
Step 2: Install the Docker-Compose Environment
If prompted with:
Enter Y and press Enter.
Step 3: Create and Run the SBC Docker Instance
After installation, follow the guide: Configure PortSIP SBC on a Separate Server
Managing the PortSIP SBC Docker Instance
After successfully installing the SBC, you can manage the Docker instance using the following commands.
Show SBC Status
Restart the SBC
Remove the SBC Container
This command does not delete SBC data.
