1.3 Deploying through Manual Configuration:
Recommended Procedure
If you have chosen to manually configure Bria and will not implement remote provisioning, read this entire
manual.
If you are a service provider, you should be aware that if you deploy through manual configuration then users
do not log in, which exposes your service to abuse and may compromise the user’s privacy.
Configuring Bria: Administrator Steps
The general procedure is:
1. Install and start Bria. The Bria Login dialog appears with the Profile set to “Manually enter login server”.
Set the profile to “No login required” and click Continue. The softphone appears.
2. Configure Bria to work on your network and with your services. Use the Account Settings window
(Softphone > Accounts) and the Preferences window (Softphone > Preferences.
The rest of this manual describes this configuration.
3. When you are satisfied with the configuration, deploy to your employees or users.
4. Then either configure the application for each employee, or provide them with a list of settings so that they
can configure it themselves.
Instructions for your Users
Because you are not provisioning Bria, your users do not need to log on. Instruct your users to start Bria as
follows:
• The first time the user starts Bria, the Login dialog appears.
• The user should set the profile to “No login required” and click Continue.
Bria will start and the user can configure the softphone. The next time the user starts Bria, the Login dialog will
not appear: Bria will start immediately.
