Administering Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (ACUCM) v8.0 provides system administrators and
networking professionals with an understanding of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System. This course teaches the concepts of IP telephony
based in system administration, including its function, features, and
configuration. This is an entry-level course that begins with the basic
concepts of IP telephony and very quickly moves the learner forward into an
understanding of system concepts: clustering, creation of phones and users,
route plans, digit manipulation, media resources, and phone features, which are
all important to supporting IP telephony in the enterprise network. The course focuses
on Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.x.
Advanced Administration for Unified
Communications Manager and Features 9.x (AAUCMF) is a 5-day instructor led
course that is intended for experienced unified communications administrators
who need in-depth knowledge of Cisco Unified Communications Manager advanced
features, services, and troubleshooting. This course is intended to be a
follow-on course to ACUCM+AUC, and combines elements from off-the-shelf courses
CVOICE, ICOMM, CIPT 2 and TVOICE as well as additional material developed exclusively
by Sunset Learning Institute.
