Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Part 1 (CIPT1 v6/7)
5 days Instructor-Led







Course Overview

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 1 (CIPT1) prepares you for installing and configuring a Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution in a single site. This course focuses primarily on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution.
This course includes lab activities in which you will perform post-installation tasks, configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager and switches, implement Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateways, and build dial plans to place on-net and off-net phone calls. You will also implement media resources, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), voice-mail integration, and numerous user telephone features
