Training Course Summary:

The goal of this training is to give engineers the ability to configure, maintain and troubleshoot the Cisco ITP product and its features. Legacy SS7 will be discussed and compared to SS7oIP (Sigtran). The Signaling Gateway Manager (SGM), the Cisco product for managing and monitoring the Cisco ITP solution, will also be covered in depth. The student will be made familiar with SS7 operations over an IP network through M2PA and how IP-based SS7 applications work with the Cisco ITP product through the use of protocols such as M3UA or SUA. The course will have a lecture/lab ratio of 1:1 giving the students essential hands-on experience.
