Administering Cisco Unified Communications Workspace Part 2 [ACUCW2]

OVERVIEW

This hands-on, exclusive course builds on the foundation provided by ACUCW1 and focuses on advanced administration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). In this course, you will learn to build the UC infrastructure, including deploying a variable-length on-net dial plan that supports multiple sites.

After learning how to configure the system, you'll discover how native presence and instant messaging and presence can enhance collaboration. You'll deploy a client services framework client, Jabber, and explore the challenges that are presented by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).

You will explore bandwidth management and call admission control tools used to manage calling in a network with multiple sites. You will learn about mobility features, including device mobility, extension mobility, and unified mobility (single number reach), that are used in networks with multiple sites. You will configure hunt lists, call park options, and configure IP phone services.

OBJECTIVES

After completing this course you should be able to:

• Understand Cisco Collaboration Solutions 12.5 Preferred Architecture.
• Perform initial system configuration including service activation, enterprise and system parameter configuration.
• Configure CallManager group and device pools.
• Build a line/device multi-site dial plan using local route groups.
• Deploy calling privileges using partitions, calling search spaces and translation patterns.
• Deploy CUCM mobility features: extension mobility, device mobility, and unified mobility (single number reach).
• Configure Instant Messaging and the Presence Server.
• Configure Jabber Clients for full UC services.

AUDIENCE

Administrators, engineers, network architects, and integrators with overall responsibility for Cisco UC networks, who need a better understanding of multisite administration including those needing to perform MACDs (Moves, Adds, Changes and Deletes).
