Master Cisco Best Practices With CIM Voice Internetworking: Basic Voice over IP, you can master the telephony and voice internetworking knowledge you need to enhance the versatility and value of your communications infrastructure. Offering self-paced instruction and practice, this robust learning tool gives you a quick and cost-effective way to acquire Cisco knowledge and expertise. From an overview of traditional telephony and voice transmission concepts to the fundamentals of routing voice and fax packets over a data network, you will learn how to configure typical software features of a VoIP network and perform operational application tasks with interactive voice response (IVR). Mastering techniques developed by Cisco Technical Assistance Center engineers, you will practice configuring and troubleshooting both analog and digital voice calls over IP networks.

Interactive Simulation Environment CIM Voice Internetworking: Basic Voice over IP places you in a simulated network environment without any network connections. You work with virtual Cisco 3640 routers and AS5300 access servers, developing your networking skills without the costly investment in actual network hardware. On screen within each tutorial is a Telnet session and an interactive network topology that uses animation and sound to simulate the process of placing voice and fax calls over IP, allowing you to test a VoIP network.

Self-Paced Anytime, Anywhere Learning You control the pace of learning. You can go through the tutorials or Challenge and Configuration Labs in any order, depending on what you want to learn or practice next. Optional audio and video guides supplement the instructions on screen, and hyperlinks connect you to a glossary and context-sensitive Cisco IOS? software command references. Technical tips reinforce your growing knowledge, quizzes allow you to assess your progress, and network topology diagrams illustrate application of your configuration and troubleshooting methodologies. This robust combination of technology tutorials, simulated lab exercises, interactive network topologies, audio and video guides, hyperlinked references, and quizzes results in a superior learning product and provides you with what matters most--hands-on networking experience. This product is in the Cisco Interactive Mentor technology tutorial series offered by Cisco Press. Cisco Interactive Mentor products provide networking technology expertise and network device simulation for self-paced, hands-on, interactive learning.
