The Final Word: Certification Preparation
With every new program, there is typically an included "Read Me First" text file. In the same sense, consider this nugget the "Watch Me First" of the series. This nugget presents the strategies you can use for getting the most from the series, changes to the Cisco certification program, and the ideal lab equipment to use for the series.

Voice Protocols: Understanding and Implementing MGCP
There are currently three voice signaling protocols which can start, end, and control VoIP calls: MGCP, H.323, and SIP. This nugget is dedicated to the first of these protocols: MGCP. Jeremy walks through purpose behind MGCP and reasons you would use this protocol in your network. The discussion then gets deeper as you explore MGCP messaging and call flows.

|
Voice Protocols: Understanding and Implementing MGCP, Part 2
The discussion of MGCP turns practical as Jeremy moves into the MGCP general configuration process. This nugget gives special attention to MGCP backhaul configurations, which are commonly used to control ISDN PRI-based QSIG configurations.

Voice Protocols: Understanding and Implementing H.323
Because of its maturity and flexibility, H.323 is the default voice signaling protocol on all Cisco routers. In this nugget, Jeremy walks through purpose behind H.323 and reasons you would use this protocol in your network. Following in suite with the MGCP discussion, you will then explore H.323 messaging and call flows.

|
Voice Protocols: Understanding and Implementing H.323, Part 2
H.323's peer-to-peer design opens the door to a plethora of configuration potential. This nugget moves from one practical, real-world configuration to the next as you implement Cisco CallManager (CCM) dial-peer redundancy, multiple codecs per dial-peer, a variety of voice service parameters, toll bypass configuration, integration of H.323 gateways with CCM, and DTMF relay options.

|
Voice Protocols: Understanding and Implementing SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is poised to be the TCP/IP of the voice world. In this nugget, Jeremy looks at what is currently happening with the SIP protocol and its future. In addition, the nugget explores basic SIP configurations from both the voice gateway and Cisco CallManager perspective.

Legacy Connections: Analog PSTN Connectivity
In today's world, every VoIP network must eventually end. All voice roads will eventually lead you to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This nugget focuses on allowing analog connectivity to the PSTN through Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Direct Inward Dial (DID) interfaces. In addition, Jeremy explores the use of Centralized Automated Message Accounting (CAMA) lines for emergency call trunks.
|
00:37:00 |
|
|
|
Legacy Connections: Digital PSTN Connectivity
While analog PSTN connectivity runs rampant in the small business realm, larger organizations use digital trunk lines to handle a larger volume of calls. In this nugget, Jeremy looks at the digital PSTN connectivity options, then explores the configuration of each of the supported digital trunks: ISDN PRI, T1 CAS, and E1 R2.

|
Legacy Connections: Analog PBX Interconnections
As an organization begins to inch towards a VoIP deployment, they will often set up a small VoIP pilot network to prove the concept. Often, this pilot network will connect to the existing PBX system using smaller analog trunks. This nugget discusses the use of these analog connections to bridge the VoIP and Time-division Multiplexing (TDM) realms.
|
00:23:55 |
|
|
|
Legacy Connections: Digital PBX Interconnections
As pilot VoIP deployments grow larger, analog lines no longer do the job. PBX interconnections quickly move into the digital phase, which is discussed in this nugget. In addition, once you have mastered digital PBX connections, you can move the network into a Tie-Line replacement phase allowing you to begin seeing cost savings immediately!

Voice Gateways: Dial Plans and Dial Peers
Dial plans are the core of the VoIP network. In this nugget, Jeremy discusses the best practices behind designing a dial plan and the critical concepts of inbound and outbound dial-peer matching.
|

|
|
|
Voice Gateways: Digit Manipulation
As a Cisco VoIP engineer, you need to be able to change dialed numbers (DNIS) or caller id information (ANI) to meet the company requirements. This nugget discusses the concepts behind digit manipulation.

Voice Gateways: Call Admission Control
While Quality of Service (QoS) protects the VoIP traffic from data, how are you able to protect VoIP traffic from other VoIP traffic? The answer lies in Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanisms. In this nugget, Jeremy walks through the many methods of CAC available on Cisco devices.

|
Voice Gateways: Understanding and Implementing Class of Restriction (COR)
Not everyone can call everything. Call restrictions have been a standard part of telephony systems since decades past. Cisco implements call restrictions on voice gateways through a concept known as Class of Restriction (COR). In this nugget, Jeremy explores the ideas and configurations behind COR.

Voice Gateways: Implementing SRST/MGCP Fallback
In the case of catastrophic WAN failures, your voice gateway may need to step up to support IP Phones typically handled by Cisco CallManager. This is a feature known as Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), which is covered in this training Nugget.

Voice Gateways: Managing DSP Resources
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) are the little engines that run the voice network. These oft forgotten devices can come back to haunt you when it's time to add advanced VoIP features such as transcoding, conferencing, and media termination points.
