This course covers the PSTN Gateway PGW2200 and how it is used in its call control deployments. Call control deployments include Packet Transit, TDM-TDM grooming, H.323 Signalling Interface (HSI), SIP Gateway and MGCP-Dial termination.
This course includes an extensive lab so that participants have to build up the entire PSTN Gateway PGW2200 Solution with all components. Hands on labs on all elements help the participants to gain a deeper understanding and practical experience with the solutions. PGW2200 provisioning, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting are covered, as well as the configuration and maintenance of the Cisco Signalling Link Terminal (SLT). Related media gateways are configured. With step-by-step instructions, participants use the Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT) to create a configuration that includes the above features.
