Enspire Training CourseUnderstanding Cisco Collaboration Foundations (CLFNDU)

Learn to administer and support a simple, single-site Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) solution with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) gateway. This 5-day instructor-led course participants course will learn initial parameters, management of devices including phones and video endpoints, management of users and management of media resources, as well as Cisco Unified Communications solutions maintenance and troubleshooting tools. In addition, students learn the basics of SIP dial plans including connectivity to Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) services, and how to use class-of-service capabilities. This course provides the fundamental knowledge needed prior to taking the CCNP Collaboration certification courses. It also serves as entry-level training for newcomers to Cisco on-premise collaboration technologies. This course will help:

• Administer a single-site Cisco Unified Communications Manager, handling daily tasks such as add, moves, changes and deletions of phones, video endpoints, and users
• Configure Jabber devices and implement common endpoint features including call park, shared lines, pickup groups, and phone button templates
• Introduce you to the SIP protocol, how calls are connected, and how media codes are determined
• Introduce you to the capabilities and basic configuration of an SIP gateway for PSTN access
• Introduce you to the dial plan elements used to route calls, and the class-of-service capabilities to control who can route calls where
• Administer Cisco Unity Connection handling daily tasks such as add, moves, and changes and deletions of voicemail boxes and users
• Administer maintenance tasks and use the troubleshooting tools available on Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Real-time Monitoring Tool

There are no specific prerequisite Cisco courses; however, the following skills are required:

• Internet web browser usability knowledge and general computer usage
• Knowledge of Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) command line

Target Audience
This course is intended for learners preparing to take the CCNP Collaboration certification courses as well as Network Administrators, Network Engineers and Systems Engineers.
