# Create Client

## Introduction

To create a client, you need to have a Carrier created.  In Class 4 Version 5, a carrier can be both client and vendor.  When you give it an ingress trunk, it becomes a Client.  When you give it an egress trunk, it becomes a Vendor.  A carrier can be both Client and Vendor.

#### Step 1: Go to the Carrier section
