CISCO® BTS 10200 SOFTSWITCH ESSENTIALS I (BTSE1)

Length: 5-day Workshop

The Cisco® BTS 10200 Softswitch Essentials I course is a comprehensive overview of the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch and of Cisco Broadband Local Integrated Services Solutions. You will learn the maintenance, administration, and basic troubleshooting skills necessary to operate a Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. The course also supports Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch provisioning for integrated access devices (IADs), embedded multimedia terminal adapter (eMTA) cable, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)–based IP phone residential gateways (RGWs) and subscribers. The extensive hands-on activities reinforce an end-to-end call-flow perspective, where students provision the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch for call setup and control as well as use the various RGW diagnostic tools to validate, observe, and troubleshoot operations.
