This example assumes you have exported the access token to the variable $TOKEN.

Retrieve the sip-config template.
The template of a configuration element is a data structure containing all required sub-elements and supported attributes with their default values, along with any specified optional sub-elements.
```
curl -X GET -o response.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://${SBCIP}/rest/v1.1/configuration/elementTypes/template?elementType=sip-config"
```
The response is saved to the file response.xml.
Copy the content between the opening and closing <configElement> tags to a new file called sip-config.xml.
If you are on a Linux system with xmllint installed, you may optionally format the XML before writing it to the file system.
```
sed -n '/<configElement>/,/<\/configElement>/p' response.xml | xmllint --format - > sip-config.xml
```
If a non-default attribute is desired, set the attribute to its desired value. If using the default settings, do not modify sip-config.xml.

Acquire the configuration lock.

curl -X POST \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://${SBCIP}/rest/v1.1/configuration/lock"

Add the sip-config configuration element to the SBC.

curl -X POST \
    -d@sip-config.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://${SBCIP}/rest/v1.1/configuration/configElements"

If done editing the configuration, save, verify, and activate the configuration.

Release the configuration lock.

curl -X POST \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://${SBCIP}/rest/v1.1/configuration/unlock"
