Q

What are Hunt Groups?

A

main phone # (pilot number)
answered by 1-7 extensions in turns
next call depends on hunt group list cmd

19
Q

Signalling Protocols…

A

H.320 (circuit switched)
H.323 (packet switched)
SCCP (skinny)
MGCP

20
Q

What will extend the ‘Trust Boundary’ to include IP phones?

A

CDP/LLDP

21
Q

How do IP phones gather VLAN information and QoS Trust settings?

A

CDP - Cisco Discovery Protocol

LLDP - Link Layer Discovery Protocol

22
Q

S.R.T.P

A

Secure Real Time Protocol

23
Q

POE delivery

A

802.f (standard complaint)
Method A: currently used today (gigabit)
uses data pairs 1-2 / 3-6
Method B: legacy mode (10/100mbps)
uses data pairs 4-5 / 7-9
data separated from power

24
Q

TFTP Server Role

A

TFTP houses config + firmware files
located ON CME or Call Manager
IP phone config NOT done on device

25
Q

CUCM Redundancy

A

2:1 Scheme - cost efficient,degraded service during upgrades
1:1 Scheme - high-availability during upgrades
publishers/subscribers handle mass volume of control (load balancing)

26
Q

What is the Gatekeeper responsible for?

A
  1. ) Call Setup
  2. ) Call Maintenance
  3. ) Call Tear-down
27
Q

What protocol carries the voice data DIRECTLY between IP phones?

A

RTP - Real-time Transport Protocol

28
Q

What will give VOICE VLAN information?

A

CDP - Cisco Discovery Protocol

29
Q

SIP - Session Initiation Protocol Steps

A
  1. ) INVITE - establish media session
  2. ) BYE - terminates session
  3. ) REGISTER - registration of user agent
  4. ) CANCEL - terminate non-established session
  5. ) ACK - acknowledge final response from invite
  6. ) OPTIONS - query user agent or proxy server re: capabilities
30
Q

Linear Quantization

A

signal noise ratio (SNR)
lower SNR for small signals ( worse voice quality)
higher SNR for larger signals (better voice quality)

31
Q

Nyquist Theorem

A

determines minimum sampling rate of analog
requires sampling rate be 2x max FHq
human speech 200-9000Hz
human ear 20-20,000Hz
sampling rate for digitizing was set to 8000

32
Q

Total Bandwidth Calculation Procedure

A

Total Packet Size Total Bandwidth Requirement
————————– = ——————————————–
Payload Size Nominal Bandwidth Requirement

Layer 2 Header
IP + UDP + RTP Headers
Payload Size
Nominal Bandwidth

33
Q

How is Analog Voice converted to Binary?

A
  1. ) Sample analog signal
  2. ) Quantize sample
  3. ) Encode digital signal (1010110)
  4. ) Compress to reduce bandwidth
34
Q

BRI-ISDN

A

only 2 B-channels

64kbps

35
Q

PRI-ISDN

A

up to 23 B-channels
1 D-channel
64kbps

36
Q

What is a PBX

A

Private Branch Exchange

routes calls WITHIN a business exclusively
connect to outside via PSTN
PSTN uses POTS/ISDN

37
Q

PSTN

A

Public Switched Telephone Network

circuit-switched (no reroute mid-call!)
call establishment is allocated for analog signal
runs are kept short!
more repeaters

38
Q

A

packet-switched network
transmits ALL digits in the called number by default
match calls to ‘Session Targets’

A

-remove or strip any outbound digits that match destination pattern
match calls to Voice Ports
uses traditional phone network

40
Q

Dial Peers

A

matches when call comes INTO or placed from a CME
dial peers are matched based upon calling or called number
if NO info avail will use -> port number

matched to an INBOUND dial peer
translation rules or profiles applied from dial peer
outbound dial peer is matched via called number config

42

Call Types

A

Local: does NOT traverse WAN or PSTN
On-Net: between phones on same network/WAN
Off-Net: when you dial access code to use PSTN
Plar: automatically connect 1 phone to another

43
