Description
Cisco Unified Communications for System Engineer covers all of the topics necessary for the proper installation, configuration, operation and maintenance of a Cisco Unity 4.1 system in either a stand-alone voice mail or unified messaging environment. UCSE provides best practice information for installation, upgrades, and technical level system set up. Students completing UCSE after UCSA will not only be extremely competent unified messaging engineers, they will also be well prepared for the Cisco Unity System Engineer exam.

Skills Taught
Upon completion of the Cisco Unified Communications System Engineer (UCSE) series, the student will be able to:
  • Identify if a computer system meets the minimum hardware requirements for a Cisco Unity system or explain why it does not
  • Determine if a voice board that has a particular hardware set up is correct for a Cisco Unity system or explain how to correct it
  • Determine if a voice board that has a particular hardware set up is correct for a Unity Bridge system or explain how to correct it
  • Describe Cisco’s various unified communications architectures
  • Describe the software needed to perform a successful installation of the unified products Install the Cisco Unity system
  • Describe the use of CUSPA and CUICA Describe the upgrade process for the Cisco unified communications products
  • Describe the integration of Cisco’s various unified communications systems with particular telephone switches
  • Choose which scenarios would appropriately use blind addressing in Cisco Unity from a list of possible scenarios
  • Describe how messages are delivered and directories replicated Describe how SMTP, AMIS, VPIM, and the Cisco Unity Bridge are used to deliver messages
  • Describe addressing options in Cisco Unity Describe the advantages of Cisco Unity’s networking capabilities Create and use Internet, AMIS, VPIM, and Bridge Subscribers
  • Describe and be able to use the basic tools provided in Unity for system maintenance, diagnostics and troubleshooting
Audience
This series is primarily designed for people responsible for the day-to-day administration of Cisco Unity and Personal Assistant messaging systems. This series is also recommended for any students attempting Cisco IP Telephony certifications. The class partially prepares a student to take the current Unity System Engineer exam.

Prerequisites
Students enrolled in this series should possess experience with Cisco networking and possess a CCNA certification or the equivalent knowledge and experience. To benefit fully from this series, students should also have knowledge of Windows 2000, Exchange 2000 or the Lotus Domino messaging environment, and knowledge of the features, benefits, and programming of at least one manufacturer’s PBX (CallManager preferred). Successful completion of the following courses (or equivalent experience) is strongly recommended:
  • Microsoft for Cisco Voice (MSCV)
  • Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO)
  • Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND)
  • Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT)
