COURSE OBJECTIVE:
After completing this course you should have an understanding of: • VoIP, components of a VoIP network, VoIP protocols, special requirements for VoIP calls, and Codecs • Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls • Basic signaling protocols used on voice gateways • Configure a gateway to support calls using different call control and signaling protocols • Define a dial plan, describing the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway • Implement a Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) gateway to connect to an Internet Telephony Service Provider • Investigate the use of various traditional telephony connections, such as FXS, FXO, E&M, T1 (CAS and PRI), and E1 (CAS and PRI) • Configure and troubleshoot Cisco's new ISR routers and explore their DSP configuration (PVDM3 cards) • Configure H.323 gateways and review their functions and operation • Configure Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) • Experience G.711, and G.729 voice coding schemes • Configure Call Admission Control three different ways • Configure proper Caller ID • Experience real-world connections to PBXs, and the PSTN • Configure your router/gateway equipment to connect to our public dial plan network using different call control protocols and procedures
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Network engineers, architects, and support staff who: Maintain and configure voice and data network devices: Are considering various methodologies to implement VoIP: Require a fundamental understanding of the issues and solutions related to implementation: Require a fundamental understanding of packet telephony technologies that are common for both enterprise and service provider applications.
