Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 2 v6.0

The Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 2 (CIPT2) 6.0 remote lab bundle enables learners to gain practical experience in Unified Communications Manager administration and configuration. The learners implement H.323 and MGCP voice gateways, H.225 gatekeeper-controlled and SIP trunks, dial plans that include call privileges, Tail End Hop Off (TEHO) and digit manipulation. They increase the service availability by configuring Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) using two methods: with MGCP fallback, and with Communications Manager Express (CME). Further the learners configure multicast MOH, regions, local conference bridges, and transcoders to reduce bandwidth requirements on the IP WAN. They implement Call Admission Control (CAC) in three ways, based on locations, RSVP, and gatekeeper. The learners enable the Cisco Unified Communications Manager device mobility feature to facilitate mobile users that roam away from their home location and implement Extension Mobility for roaming users, and configure Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access. Finally they secure the IP telephony environment by implementing security features based on the Cisco PKI.

The CIPT1 6.0 lab exercises can be configured in two modes: remote-only and mixed. The remote-only mode runs on equipment located in NIL's remote lab. The security lab is not fully supported in remote-only mode. The mixed mode uses a combination of equipment located in the classroom and devices located in NIL's remote lab. The classroom equipment and the remote lab equipment are interconnected via tunnels. The mixed mode supports all labs and features.
