Description
Just as Cisco predicted, the exciting and revolutionary communications technology of Voice over IP (VoIP) is taking hold. Unfortunately, there is a dramatic shortage of technical candidates who possess expertise in this area… until now! Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE) introduces the components that make up a VoIP network, and then provides multiple examples of how to configure these VoIP components and associated protocols, while providing the high quality that voice users were accustomed to with their legacy telephony system. The main goal of our expert-led CVOICE course is to introduce learners to the function and configuration of Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies, and provide design guidance for selecting VoIP protocols. Since no two networks are alike, our practical and effective approach enables a student to apply the knowledge gained in this course to their specific needs.

Skills Taught
Upon completion of the Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE) course, the student will be able to:
  • Describe VoIP, voice gateways, special requirements for VoIP calls, codecs and codec complexity, and how DSPs are used as media resources on a voice gateway
  • Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls and to integrate with a PSTN and PBX
  • Describe the basic signaling protocols that are used on voice gateways and configure a gateway to support calls using the various signaling protocols
  • Define a dial plan, describe the purpose of each dial plan component, and implement a dial plan on a voice gateway
  • Implement gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers, and identify redundancy options for gatekeepers
  • Implement a Cisco UBE gateway to connect to an Internet telephony service provider
Audience
This course is recommended for any student interested in mastering Voice over IP technology. It is also perfect for students interested in pursuing any of Cisco’s many IP telephony specializations or the Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP) certification.
