Gateway/Gatekeeper

This is an advanced course on implementing Cisco Voice Gateways in Enterprise or Service Provider environments. The aim of the course is to provide delegates with information and practice activities to prepare them to install, configure, monitor and troubleshoot Cisco voice gateways and gatekeepers in Enterprise installations, in accordance with the recommendations of Cisco's Solution Reference Design (SRND) for IP Telephony guides. The examination for this course assesses the knowledge of the Systems Engineers on the implementation of Cisco gateways and gatekeepers to integrate a VoIP network to both PSTN and TDM equipment. This includes implementing dial plans and advanced gateway features such as SRST and DSP farms, The exam also covers implementing gatekeepers and directory gatekeepers to provide hierarchical dial plan resolution and call admission control. Objectives Explain the function and interoperation of Gateways within a converged network Configure and implement a DSP Farm to support specified requirements Explain the function and interoperation of Gatekeepers within a converged network Determine the relevant technical and business needs that affect the choice of Gateway features, protocols and placement.Design and deploy redundant Gateway/gatekeeper configurations to provide high availability Determine the relevant technical and business needs that affect the choice of Gatekeeper features, and placement. Configure and implement a Gateway to interface with the PSTN Configure and implement a Gateway to interface with a PBX and voice mail system Design and deploy a dial-plan to meet specific requirements Implement extended services on the gateway including Auto Attendant and Accounting/BillingConfigure and implement Gateways and Gatekeepers within a managed services or service provider environment
