Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bootcamp (CIPTBC 8)

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:

• Working knowledge of converged voice and data networks
• Working knowledge of the MGCP, SIP, and H.323 protocols and their implementation on Cisco IOS gateways
• Ability to configure and operate Cisco voice routers and switches

On completion of the course the student should be able to:

• Describe Cisco Unified Communications Manager, including its functions, architecture, deployment, redundancy options, licensing, and how to install or upgrade.
• Perform Cisco Unified Communications Manager initial configuration and user management.
• Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager phones to support on-cluster calling from Cisco IP and third party SIP devices.
• Implement PSTN access in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and build a dial plan to support single-site or multi-site deployments.
• Describe multisite deployment issues and solutions, and describe and configure required dial plan elements.
• Implement call-processing resiliency in remote sites by using Cisco Unified SRST, MGCP fallback, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express in Cisco Unified SRST mode.
• Implement bandwidth management and CAC to prevent oversubscription of the IP WAN.
• Implement Device Mobility and Cisco Extension Mobility.
• Describe and implement CCD deployments.

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bootcamp v8.0 is a 5 day intensive class that prepares you for implementing a Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution in a single or multisite environment.

It covers installation theory, UCM access methods CLI, GUI, etc, adding and configuring users, adding and configuring phones, dial plan configuration, globalized call routing, adding and managing Media resources, Cisco Service Advertisement Framework (SAF) and Call Control Discovery (CCD), tail-end hop-off (TEHO), Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), and mobility features such as Cisco Device Mobility and Cisco Extension Mobility.

You will apply a dial plan for a multisite environment including TEHO, 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) including Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Preconditions and automated alternate routing (AAR).
