CIPT1 v6.x/7.x - Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 1

Duration: 5 days

Cisco Course v6.0 | Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software v7.0 | Prepares you for Cisco Exam 642-446 CIPT1 v6.0.

Prepare to install and configure a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) solution in a single site in this course, focusing primarily on CUCM Release 6.x/7.x, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution.

In lab activities, you will perform post-installation tasks, configure CUCM, 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) integration, voice mail integration, and numerous user telephone features.

Our investment in enhanced and exclusive labs means you get the experience you need using current software and hardware. No other training company offers a unique, real-world lab solution like ours.

In our lab descriptions, an enhanced lab contains a significant addition to the standard labs and may or may not be offered by other providers, while an exclusive lab contains material that is not offered by any other provider.

Our CIPT1 lab environment consists of 12 interconnected Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 6.1 clusters. Two students are responsible for configuring each cluster. Each cluster contains one 2811 Integrated Services Routers running IOS 12.3(14)T3, representing a HQ deployment. A sophisticated telephony simulation is provided allowing you to configure PRI and FXO ports connecting to the PSTN, T1-CAS DS0-Groups connecting to a channel bank connected to two PBXs, and FXS ports connected to analog phones. Each 2811 router is provisioned with a PVDM2-32 providing DSP resources and a serial card for WAN connectivity.

The labs included in this course provide you with a template for the configuration of a multisite centralized CUCM deployment model.Lab 1: Topology and Deployment

We offer a unique, real-world CIPT1 lab environment that teaches you how to build and test a sophisticated IP telephony network that you can use as a template for a real deployment. We have set ourselves apart from other Cisco training providers by enhancing our CIPT1 hands-on labs to include a real dial plan and Class of Service (CoS) for calling out to the PSTN, branch offices, and PBXs. No other training company offers a unique, real-world lab solution like ours.

Our voice network labs use the latest hardware and software.

• Train on Cisco's new Unified IP Phone 7965G
• Troubleshoot Cisco's new ISR routers: 2811s are used throughout the network
• Gain experience with IOS voice software: 12.4.15T
• Configure CUCM 6.x/7.x (CUCM 7.0 software is deployed for this course)
• Explore router DSP configuration: PVDM2-32 cards in every 2811 router
• Every router has 2xFXS, 2xFXO, and 2xT1 ports (PRI and T1-CAS) as well as serial ports for WAN connectivity

All of our IP telephony courses provide a simulated PSTN.

• Every pod has internal and external phones
• Build and test a real dial plan including:
  • 911
  • 3-digit service codes: 411, 511, etc.
  • 7-digit local numbers: 681-1901
  • 10-digit local numbers: 416-681-1901
  • 11-digit long distance numbers: 1-733-802-1901
  • International numbers: 011441902

And just like in a real network:

• The same simulated PSTN is accessible through both PRI and FXO ports
• The same simulated PSTN is accessible through all four clusters providing failover scenarios for bandwidth and connectivity problems
• Different area codes are deployed at all sites (two per cluster)

Build and test a real CoS solution that allows:

• Internal dialing
• 911 and service code dialing
• Local dialing
• Long distance dialing
• International dialing

Our labs provide comprehensive coverage of traditional telephony technologies.

• Configure FXS ports including Caller ID for calls to analog phones
• Configure FXO ports including Caller ID for calls from PSTN
• Configure connections to simulated PBXs via T1-CAS
