Administering Cisco Unified Communications Manager v6.0 (3 Day)

Course Overview

In this five-day course, learn to add, move, change, and troubleshoot IP telephony devices. Learn to support IP phone users and identify network and server impact when administering changes. Configure the latest versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) on a Linux appliance with Cisco 7960 & 7965 IP Phones, IP Communicator, and Catalyst(R) switches with in-line power. During the first three days of this class, you'll cover CUCM basic administration (CMBA). In the last two days you'll cover Cisco Administering Unified Messaging (AUM). CUCM provides voice and video call routing, while Cisco Unified Unity provides a voice mail and unified messaging solution that allows users to integrate voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages into a single inbox. During this course, you will configure a CUCM server and perform a digital integration to a Cisco Unified Unity server. Learn to add and delete Unity subscribers, build voice mail system features, and program and deploy automated attendant call handlers.
