Description
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Essentials II course builds on the concepts presented in Cisco BTS 10200
Softswitch Essentials I. After a very light review of the Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services
Solution and the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch system, this course focuses on translations (dial plans),
public switched telephone network (PSTN) interconnect with Cisco IP Transfer Point (ITP) signaling
gateways, and off-net trunking with both Cisco AS5X00 IOS? Software and Cisco MGX 8000 Series trunking
gateways. Targeting the tier2 and 3 level support and design and engineering personnel, this course
focuses on developing Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch provisioning scripts for off-net trunking and call
routing, in-depth coverage of Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP),
Signaling System 7 (SS7), and Signaling Transport (SIGTRAN) signaling protocols, and troubleshooting
of call processing faults. The extensive hands-on activities are designed to reinforce an end-to-end
call-flow perspective, where students provision the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch for call setup and
control and use the various Trunking Gateway (TGW) diagnostic tools to validate, observe, and
troubleshoot operation.
Please note: Students need to provide their own Windows-based laptops and 15-ft-or longer ethernet cables.Objectives
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
- Identify and explain the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Broadband Local
Integrated Services Solutions, solution components, and
interoperability (review).
- Identify and describe and Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch system architecture, interfaces, and databases (review).
- Describe and demonstrate Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch system operations and maintenance procedures and commands (review).
- Describe the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch provisioning table
relationships used to process and control on-net and off-net calls and
various routing/translation scenarios.
- Demonstrate the decoding of MGCP and SIP signaling protocols.
- Describe the system architecture and operation of the MGX8800
Series TGW, Cisco IOS Software ITP Signaling Gateway (SGW), and Cisco
Software IOS TGWs.
- Demonstrate using Cisco IOS Software/command-line interface (CLI)
commands to determine status and troubleshoot faults on Cisco MGX 8800
Series Switches, ITP, and AS5X00 platforms.
- Practice using troubleshooting tools and methods to isolate and resolve off-net trunking/signaling faults.
Prerequisites
Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Essentials I is a required prerequisite course.
The following related skills and knowledge are also strongly recommended for the best
learning outcome:
- Experience with Cisco IOS Software routers and knowledge of IP
routing and switching fundamentals; knowledge equivalent to the CCNA®
and/or CCNP® certifications
- Experience with UNIX (Solaris) operating systems
- Exposure to MGCP and SIP call signaling protocols
- Background with telephony network concepts and terminology
Who Should Attend
- Individuals who plan, design, implement, operate, or optimize
(PDIOO) Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch–based voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions
- Individuals who troubleshoot Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch–based VoIP solutions (tier 2/3 level support)
- Solution design, quality assurance, or engineering personnel who
develop or maintain Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch system provisioning
scripts or translation tables
