Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 1 v6.0

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 1 (CIPT1) v6.0 prepares you for installing and configuring, a Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution in a single site. This course focuses primarily on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution. This course includes lab activities in which you will perform postinstallation 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. You will also implement media resources, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and voice mail integration as well as numerous user telephone features.

Objectives

Upon finishing this course, you will be able to:
Describe Cisco Unified Communications Manager including its functions, architecture, deployment and redundancy options, and how to install or upgrade

  • Perform Cisco Unified Communications Manager platform and general administration, initial configuration, and user management
  • Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support on-cluster calling in a single-site deployment
  • Implement a dial plan in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to make internal calls and place calls within the public switched telephone network (PSTN)
  • Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager media resources, features, and voice-mail integration

Importance

The course is of utmost importance for all network engineers responsible for Cisco IP telephony (IPT) solutions based on the Cisco Unified CallManager Release 6.0.
