Description

Advanced Administration for Unified Communications Manager and Features (AAUCMF v15) is a 5-day instructor-led course designed to empower collaboration administrators with the advanced knowledge and hands-on experience needed to support, troubleshoot, and optimize Cisco Unified Communications Manager environments. This course is built on CUCM version 15 and is intended for experienced unified communications administrators who already have a working knowledge of CUCM and are ready to go deeper into advanced call routing, mobility, diagnostics, and intercluster communication.

AAUCMF is a follow-on course to ACUCM+AUC and combines elements from official Cisco courses such as CLFNDU, CLCOR, CLACCM, and CLCEI, along with additional real-world material developed exclusively by Sunset Learning Institute. The class utilizes the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and includes labs with both SCCP and SIP phones, as well as H.323 and SIP gateways.

After a brief review of Unified Communications architecture and foundational configuration, the course covers newly introduced and enhanced features in CUCM 15.(NEW) It then transitions into the implementation of a multi-site dial plan architecture, focusing on signaling, overlapping directory numbers, digit manipulation, and PSTN backup using automated alternate routing. Additional modules cover call admission control, hardware media resource configuration, and intercluster communication using ILS and GDPR. Students will also deploy a basic CUBE and gain familiarity with core CUBE functions and configuration.

Throughout the course, administrators will configure and test features like Extension Mobility, Unified Mobility (including Single Number Reach), and Device Mobility. The class also emphasizes practical troubleshooting using Cisco’s Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), TranslatorX, and CUCM trace files. Reporting capabilities are addressed through labs that use the CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR) tool to generate user, system, and call quality reports.

This course was created by Sunset Learning Institute to provide experienced collaboration administrators with the tools, labs, and insight they need to become more effective in their day-to-day roles. It is not a certification or implementation course, but rather a hands-on, skills-focused training experience.

Objectives

  • Describe CUCM signaling to phones, gateways, and media resources (H.323, SIP, SCCP)
  • Configure inbound and outbound call routing in a multisite environment with overlapping DNs 
  • Configure intersite dialing with PSTN backup using Local Route Groups
  • Use class of control to control inbound call flow and permit blocking of inbound calls
  • Implement Survivable Remote Site Telephony for both SCCP and SIP devices
  • Implement intersite and intercluster Call Admission Control and intersite Automated Alternate Routing
  • Implement DSP hardware media resources
  • Implement Tail-End Hopoff (TEHO)
  • Configure Extension Mobility, Unified Mobility (Single Number Reach and Mobile Voice Access), and Device Mobility
  • Use CUCM Tools such as the Real Time Monitoring Tool to Monitor and perform basic Troubleshooting
  • Deploy new CUCM 10.x Features such as Native Call Queuing, Intercluster CAC and Deterministic Codec Selection
  • Generate and Read Trace Files for SCCP, SIP and H.323 Call Setup and Resource Allocation
