Description

This is a 3-day hands-on course, where students will learn how to deploy Voice Gateways/CUBE and setup Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) to deploy SIP Trunking. Students will learn how to configure Gateway Dial plans, CUCM to CUBE Configuration, Dial Plans, Normalize SIP, Configure High Availability, Configure Voice Security and Voice Policies, as well as monitoring and troubleshooting Voice Configurations.

The course starts out with an overview of Cisco gateways and their uses. Next, students learn about MGCP and SIP and how to implement each protocol. Students will then learn how to use Cisco CUBE to connect CUCM, Gateways and Service Providers together. This course details how to connect a Cisco environment to a Service Provider using a Cisco CUBE.

 

Class is for:

  • Cisco Voice Router Configuration
  • Companies Deploying SIP Trunking
  • Contact Center Deployments
  • SIP / MGCP Configuration
  • CUCM to CUBE Configuration
