Cisco Course v6.0 | Prepares you for Cisco Exam 642-436.
In this course, you'll gain an understanding of converged voice and data networks and the challenges faced by the various network technologies. This course provides network administrators and network engineers with the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways and gatekeepers into an enterprise VoIP network. It is one of several courses in the Cisco Voice certification track that addresses design, planning, and deployment practices and provides comprehensive hands-on experience configuring and deploying VoIP networks. Along with preparing you for CCNA certification, this course prepares you for the CCNA Voice certification.
Why Global Knowledge?
We offer a unique, real-world CVOICE 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 CVOICE hands-on labs to include a real dial plan and Class of Service for calling out to the PSTN, branch offices, and PBXs. You'll configure CVOICE gateways using three different call control protocols while mastering the connection details for traditional telephony. You'll experience real-world connections to PBXs, Key Telephone Systems, and the Public Switched Telephone network. You will configure your router/gateway equipment to connect to our public dial plan network, using different call control protocols and procedures and demonstrating what you learn in class. No other training company offers a unique, real-world lab solution like ours.
Our voice network labs use the latest hardware and software.
- Exclusive - 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: 2811s are used throughout the network
- Gain experience with the recent stable IOS release: 12.4.9T
- Configure H.323 gateway and gatekeeper single and multizone environments
- Configure Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
- Configure Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP)
- Explore router DSP configuration: PVDM2-32 cards in every 2811 router
- Experience G.711, G.723, and G.729 voice coding schemes
- Configure Call Admission Control three different ways
- Configure proper Caller ID
- Configure QoS for voice
- 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
- Configure and test all dial peers as appropriate
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)
- Gateway connections to simulated PBX systems are configured by the students
What You'll Learn
- 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 the various signaling protocols
- Define a dial plan, describing the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway
- Gatekeeper functions, protocols, and operation; implement an H.323 gatekeeper to provide dial plan resolution and call admission control
- Implement a Cisco Unified Border Element gateway to connect to an Internet Telephony Service Provider
