Administering Cisco Unified Communications Workspace Part 2: Advanced (ACUCW2) v10.5x is a hands-on, exclusive course builds on the foundation provided by Administering Cisco Unified Communications Workspace Part 1: Basic (ACUCW1) and focuses on advanced administration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v8, v9 and v10.5 In this CUCM online training course, you will learn to build the UC infrastructure, including deploying a variable-length on-net dial plan that supports multiple sites with overlapping extensions. After learning how to configure the system, you'll discover how the v8, v9 and v10.5 features (local route groups and global transformations in particular) can simplify the dial plan and prepare for globalization. You will investigate deploying E.164 and explore the challenges that are presented by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). In this Cisco Unified Communications Workspace online training course, you will explore bandwidth management and call admission control tools used to manage calling in a network with multiple sites. You will learn about mobility features, including device mobility, extension mobility, and unified mobility (single number reach), that are used in networks with multiple sites. You will configure hunt lists and learn about Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (CUWL).
Prerequisites:
For this advanced administrative course, you should have experience performing basic CUCM administrative tasks, including IP Phone moves, adds, as well as some exposure to the CUCM Administrative GUI. However, an understanding of router configuration is not needed.
Course Objectives:

- Build a dial plan including route patterns, route lists, and route groups supporting both the NANP and dialing in Europe
- Deploy line/device Class of Service using partitions and calling search spaces and translation patterns for call blocking
- Use local route groups and global transformations to simplify your dial plan
- Build a dial plan supporting multiple sites with overlapping extensions
- Investigate globalization and the challenges of the NANP
- Configure advanced Class of Service capabilities such as time of day routing, client matter codes, and forced access codes
