1 Overview Cisco IP Telephony (CIPT) is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco Systems, Inc. training partners to their end-user customers. This five-day course focuses on using Cisco CallManager and other IP telephony components connected in local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). Upon completion of this training course, you will be able to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco IP telephony devices. This chapter highlights the course prerequisites and course highlights as well as some administrative issues. It includes the following topics: ■ Objectives ■ Prerequisites ■ General Administration ■ Sources of Information ■ Course Syllabus ■ Graphic Symbols 1-2 Cisco IP Telephony Copyright  2000, Cisco Systems, Inc.

To accomplish this course goal, you will be taught how to install Cisco CallManager and configure other IP telephony devices in a LAN and WAN environment. This includes the following tasks: ■ Install Cisco CallManager software and supporting services. ■ Cluster Cisco CallManagers to establish redundancy. ■ Select and connect Cisco access gateways for analog, WAN, and PSTN access. ■ Connect and configure digital signal processor (DSP) resources for a CIPT solution. ■ Configure the dial plan architecture to control IP telephony traffic. ■ Build three Cisco IP telephony deployments: isolated Campus LAN, WAN with distributed call processing, and WAN with centralized call processing. ■ Configure IP telephony access through the IP WAN and then the PSTN for backup. ■ Install and configure Cisco uOne for voice messaging for the Cisco IP telephony solution. Configuration, verification, and troubleshooting are done with Cisco CallManager, Windows 2000 NT Server, and Cisco IOS software. 1-4 Cisco IP Telephony Copyright  2000, Cisco Systems, Inc.
