Description
The Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager Part 1 (CIPT1) v6.0 course introduces learners to Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (UCM) application, Release 6.0. UCM 6.0 acts as the call routing and signaling component for Cisco’s IP telephony solution. This course discusses a variety of UCM configuration scenarios, including: performing post installation tasks, configuring gateways/ gatekeepers, and preparing switches to connect to IP phones. A major topic addressed in CIPT1 focuses on the construction of route plans to place intra-cluster and inter-cluster calls. Learners will also learn to configure telephony class of service (calling restrictions) and numerous user telephone features, services, media resources, and applications.

Skills Taught
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
  • Describe Cisco Unified Communications Manager, including its functions, architecture, deployment and redundancy options, and how to install or upgrade
  • Perform Cisco Unified Communications Manager platform and general administration, initial configuration, and user management
  • Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support on-cluster calling in a single-site deployment
  • Implement a dial plan in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to make internal calls and place calls to the PSTN
  • Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager media resources, features, and voicemail integration
This course provides instruction in the use of the following hardware/software technologies:
  • Catalyst 2950 Switches
  • Catalyst 3550 Switches
  • 2800/3800 Series Voice-enabled Routers
  • Unified Communications Manager Platform (Cisco-modified version of Red Hat Linux)
  • Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0

Audience
This course is recommended for any student interested in mastering IP telephony technology. It is also perfect for students interested in pursuing the Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP) certification.
