1 Overview
This manual is intended for:
• System administrators who have purchased Bria Professional from the CounterPath website and are
deploying Bria Professional for use by the staff in an enterprise. The administrator should be familiar with
PBX solutions, telephony and VoIP telephony.
• Service providers who have purchased Bria Professional from CounterPath Sales, without further
customization or engineering changes.
You can deploy Bria Professional by manually configuring via the softphone GUI, or using a provisoning
server.If you are planning to implement provisioning, you must also read:
• “Provisioning Bria Professional Retail Edition”

1.1 Deploying through Manual Configuration:
Recommended Procedure
If you have chosen to manually configure Bria Professional 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 Professional: Administrator Steps
The general procedure is:
1. Install Bria Professional on your computer and use the Account Settings window and the Preferences
window to configure Bria Professional to work on your network and with your services. The rest of this
manual describes this configuration.

can configure it themselves (see page 39 for a sample form).
