Overview/Description
Calling privileges are an important dial plan component. They are used to implement class of service (CoS), which means that, based on the calling device or line, some destinations are permitted to access call routing table entries while others are not. A hunt group is a group of telephone lines that are associated with a common number. Many businesses have sales or service support departments that handle inbound calls from customers, and hunt groups are the mechanisms that help businesses manage inbound calls. This course describes the configuration tools that can be used to implement calling privileges using applications such as time-of-day routing, vanity numbers, Client Matter Codes (CMC), Forced Authorization Codes (FAC), and private line automatic ringdown (PLAR). It also explores how to implement hunt groups and enable other call coverage features such as call forwarding, shared lines, and Call Pickup. This course is one of a series from two SkillSoft learning paths, which cover the objectives for Cisco exam 642-446 CIPT. This exam is one of five required qualifying exams for the CCVP (Cisco Certified Voice Professional) certification.
