Overview/Description
Multisite Cisco Unified Communications Manager deployments require special considerations that are not necessary in single-site deployments. To successfully deploy a multisite Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution, you need to understand potential deployment issues, and their solutions. This course explains the potential issues and solutions in a multisite Cisco Unified Communications Manager deployment, including selective public switched telephone network (PSTN) access and PSTN backup. This course also describes how to implement a dial plan to support inbound and outbound PSTN dialing, site-code dialing, and Tail-End Hop-Off (TEHO) by describing dial plan elements and their configuration. This course is one of a series from two SkillSoft learning paths, which cover the objectives for Cisco exam 642-456 CIPT2. This exam is one of five required qualifying exams for the CCVP (Cisco Certified Voice Professional) certification.
