Description

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications IP Telephony Part 1 (CIPT1) v7.0/v6.0 prepares you for installing and configuring a Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution in a single site. This course primarily focuses on Cisco Unified CallManager, the call routing and signaling component for the Cisco Unified Communications solution.

CIPT1 v7.0/v6.0 includes lab activities in which you will perform post-installation tasks, configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Catalyst 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, Cisco Unified Video Advantage and numerous user telephone features.

NOTE: If you have Cisco Unified CallManager Release 6, while this class was developed for v7.0 and runs on the v7.0 platform, the class contains the same general content as CIPT1 v6.0, plus additional content related to v7.0.
