Course Description
In this course, you'll gain an understanding of converged voice and data networks and the challenges faced by various network technologies. Addressing design, planning, and deployment practices, you will gain comprehensive hands-on experience configuring and deploying VoIP networks.
In addition to the knowledge and skills required to integrate gateways into an enterprise VoIP network, you'll learn how to build and test a sophisticated IP telephony network that you can use as a template for a real deployment.
The course includes a comprehensive full day on Quality of Service (QoS), in which you'll learn to configure QoS to support real-time traffic.
What You'll Learn
VoIP, components of a VoIP network, VoIP protocols, special requirements for VoIP calls, and Codecs
Configure gateway interconnections to support VoIP and PSTN calls
