Cisco Voice over IP 6.0 (CVOICE) — A 5-day course
Synopsis
The five-day CVOICE training course lays the foundation for gaining hand-on skills and significant understanding of packet telephony by presenting the technologies that are common for both Enterprise and Service Provider students. The course also teaches students how to use the available Cisco tools to find the information needed to accomplish their everyday tasks. Since no two networks are alike, this approach enables a student to apply the knowledge gained in this course to their specific needs. This course also includes the content from the Cisco Voice Over IP Fundamentals (CVF) v1.0 e-learning course.
Course Objectives
After completing the CVOICE course, students will be able to:
- Identify the components, processes and features of traditional telephony networks that provide end-to-end call functionality
- Describe two methods of call control used on voice and data networks and provide on example of a protocol for each
- List at least five components or capabilities that are required to provide integrated voice and data services in campus LAN, enterprise, and service provider environments
- Select the appropriate analogue voice connection to a Cisco device given the types og analogue connections and their susceptibility to pine quality problems
- Choose a voice compression scheme that best suits your needs given the fundamentals of digital voice encoding
- Describe the appropriate signalling,method to deploy in a telphony system given the type of signalling between PBX's; between PBX's and central offices; or specialised such as ISDN
- Implement an effective method of transporting fax and modem traffic over a Voice over IP network given the standard implementations of fax and the methods used to transport modem traffic
Intended Audience
- System Engineers
- Channel Partners/Resellers
