Course Overview

This five-day course, Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 2 (CIPT2 v6/7) prepares you for installing and configuring, a Cisco Unified Communications Manager in a Multisite environment. This course focuses on Cisco Unified CallManager Release 6/7, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco unified Communications solution. It also includes H.323 and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateway implementation, the use of a Cisco unified Border Element, and configuration of Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), different mobility features, and voice security. This course includes lab activities in which you will apply a dial plan for a Multisite environment, configure survivability for remote sites during WAN failure and implement solutions to reduce bandwidth requirements in the IP WAN. You will also enable Call Admission Control (CAC) and automated alternate routing (AAR), a feature that allows rerouting of calls over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) in case of no available bandwidth. There are labs for implementing device mobility, extension mobility, Cisco Unified Mobility, and voice security.

Prerequisites

To benefit fully from this course, you must have these prerequisite skills and knowledge:

• Working knowledge of converged voice and data networks
• Working knowledge of the MGCP, SIP and H.323 and their implementation on Cisco IOS gateways
• Ability to configure and operate cisco routers and switches
• Ability to configure and operate Cisco Unified Communications Manager in a single-site environment

Target Audience:

This course is intended for Cisco Reseller Partners, administrators and end users responsible for the implementation, administration and maintenance of CUCM v6.x/7.x for multiple sites.

Course Objectives
