Advanced Unified Communications 6: Deploying SIP and Presence - 3-day Hands-on class for Experienced Engineers developed for Cisco by CCI
Deploy SIP and Presence with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0 and Cisco Unified Presence Server (CUPS) 6.0 and Integrate with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) and Microsoft Office Communicator (MOC) client
Course Description
With Cisco’s move to its unified communications architecture, voice engineers must now be able to address Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CCM) deployment with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Presence. This challenge requires competence in areas such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 6.0 support for SIP endpoints and SIP trunking, integration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager with the Cisco Unified Presence (CUP), and other advanced skills. Advanced Unified Communications 6 (AUC6) for SIP and Presence is a hands-on course for experienced Cisco voice engineers for deployment of SIP and Presence in the enterprise

Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the student will be able to:
- Configure SIP endpoints in the enterprise.
- Configure SIP trunks in the enterprise.
- Configure SIP endpoints in an SRST environment.
- Configure the CUP 6.0 component of a presence-enabled telephony solution with a CUCM 6.0.
- Understand the features and integration requirements needed to implement a presence-enabled telephony solution with a CUCM 6.0 using CUP 6.0 and CUPC 1.2
- Integrate a presence-enabled Cisco Unified Communications deployment with a Microsoft OCS and MOC deployment.
Course Benefits
The Cisco Unified Communications system provides structure and intelligence to help organizations integrate their communications more closely with business processes, and ensure that information reaches recipients quickly, through the most appropriate medium.
In this course you will deploy key components that enable unified communications: SIP and Presence with CUCM 6.0 (or CUCM 5.x) and with CUPS 6.0 and Microsoft OCS integration.
SIP provides a standards-based approach to enabling IP communications with numerous devices and applications. IP telephony engineers familiar with CCM 4.0 must learn how to deploy the new SIP features in CUCM 5.x and 6.0 to meet the increased demand for SIP functionality. You will implement SIP in the enterprise. Advanced SIP dial plans will be given an in-depth treatment with supporting labs. You will configure Cisco 7961 phones, third-party SIP phones, and third-party SIP softphones.
Cisco Unified Presence (CUP) is a critical component that collects information about a user's availability status and communications capabilities, including whether or not that user is using a communications device—such as a phone or Cisco Unified Video Advantage—or if that user has Web collaboration or videoconferencing enabled on their system. Based on information captured by CUP, applications such as Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (CUPC), Unity, MeetingPlace and CUCM can improve productivity by helping users connect with colleagues more efficiently by determining the most effective avenue for collaborative communication in real-time.
You will configure CUCM for Presence and create a SIP trunk for connection to the CUP server. Cisco’s presence solution is based on IETF standards Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE). Cisco Communications Manager 6.0 and Cisco Unified Presence 6.0 enable third-party SIP devices and integration with third-party presence servers. CUCM 6 illustrates the power of deploying standards-based solutions as you integrate CUP with Microsoft’s Office Communication Server (OCS) and validate presence features across the two platforms. You will see presence status among a Microsoft Office Communicator (MOC) client, Cisco SIP phones, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (CUPC), SIPURA phones and third party SIP softphones.

Prerequisites
This course addresses advanced topics in depth and lab exercises are written at an expert level. Therefore, students must have taken one of the following classes, or have commensurate work experience:
- Communications Manager Bootcamp 5
- Communications Manager Bootcamp 6
- CIPT1 5.0
Lab Topology
The Cisco AUC6 hands-on lab simulates an enterprise’s centralized deployment featuring HQ and Branch offices implementing a SIP and Presence unified communications solution. SRST for SIP is deployed in the branch for SIP devices with PSTN failover. The lab includes a Unified Communications Manager, CUPS, multiple SIP phones, laptops running soft phones, Cisco advanced SIP phones, MOC, and third-party SIP phones.
