CIPT_ACC_8 Cisco IP Telephony Accelerated v8
Course Description
Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Boot camp
(CIPT BC) v8 prepares you for installing and configuring a Cisco
Unified Communications Manager solution in a single site and multi
site environment. This course focuses primarily on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Release v8, the call routing and signaling
component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution as well as
the new features introduced in UCMv8. 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), plus different mobility
features.
This course includes lab activities in which you will perform
post-installation tasks, configure Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and switches, implement Media Gateway Control Protocol
(MGCP) gateways, and build dial plans to place on-net and off-net
phone calls. This includes excercises to build a multinational E164
normalized dialplan as used in large LDAP structures. You will also
implement media resources, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP), voice-mail integration, and numerous user telephone
features. It also includes lab activities in which you will
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 Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Device Mobility, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Extension Mobility, Cisco Unified Mobility,
and the Services Advertisement Framework (SAF), a new feature of
UCM v8.
