Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system determines a plurality of combinations of settings for a session border controller (SBC) communicating with a first network and installed at a premises. The method also includes listing the combinations, and identifying a combination that coincides with settings of a primary rate interface (PRI) circuit. The method further includes enabling a first connection between a first port of the SBC and the PRI circuit and a second connection between a second port of the SBC and a second network; settings of the SBC correspond to the identified combination, and the SBC comprises a connection between the first and second ports. The method also includes subsequently disabling the second connection, resulting in the PRI equipment communicating with the first network without a change to the settings of the PRI equipment. Other embodiments are disclosed.
