Cisco IP Telephony by David Lovell

Cisco IP Telephony By David Lovell ISBN 1587050501Have you ever had a book labeled the definitive guide, the bible, or the ultimate guide, well this book could have easily been called the bible, or the ultimate guide, or the definitive guide to Cisco IP Telephony. WhatI am saying is this book covers it all. It was somewhat overwhelming at times. That is not meant to be a bad thing, I am just saying that is covers the subject to the nth detail. If you read and study this book and don't pick-up something about IP Telephony you have a problem. The introduction to this book said that the book is a foundation for IP Telephony, but this is an understatement.The book is very organized in its layout. There are 14 chapters and Appendix A & B. The chapters are divided into four (4) parts, Getting Started with Cisco IP Telephony, Basic Configuration, Advanced Configuration, and Applications. Part five (5) is the Appendixes. Almost every chapter starts with a pre-test to test your knowledge in the area covered, or to see if you need to work on certain areas in the chapter.Then it covers abbreviations, the subject, and then a summary and test to see what you have learned.Part I chapter 1 is an introduction to Cisco IP Telephony.Part II is basic configuration, such as, Navigation and Setup, Call Manager Rout Plan Menu,Call Manager Administration Service Menu, Call Manager Features and User Menus, IP Telephony Devices, Using Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), and Installation, Backup And Upgrades.Part III is Advance Configuration. It covers LAN Infrastructure, Call Preservation, Media Resources, WAN Design and Best Practices.Part IV covers Applications.If you are doing a self study on Cisco IP Telephony, or if you need a complete reference for your Cisco IP Telephony System, David Lovell's book is just what you need.

Very Useful Overview of CallManager

I didn't buy this book to pass the CIPT exam. I bought it to fill in some gaps in my CallManager knowledge in preparation for the CCIE Voice. I found it to be a useful introduction to CallManager. It takes the reader through the basic configuration of CallManager using well thought out (albeit fairly simple) examples. It is very similar to the materials found on the CIPT course. If you are going to have to administer/configure a CallManager for the first time - this book is a good place to start.If you are going to sit the CCIE voice it is probably too lightweight for your needs (although it is on the prescribed reading list!)

9E0-402

While I passed the 9E0-402 exam, after 3 weeks of reading this book. I am giving it 4 stars, because I found out in the exam, the book missed out on some details. However with work experience, you should be able to pass the exam with this book. I am not working with IP Telephony at the moment, so I will say I got a good bargain for my money. I aslo used Boson test, but the questions were too easy compared to the real thing, personally not worth buying. To pass the exam read this book twice, and you should be ready. I am willing to answer any questions regarding the exam prep.

Exam/Book Compliance

I am the author of the book and the exam. Although the exam cited in the book is the retired exam (9E0-569), the book is written for all 3.1 and above releases of CallManager, which include the current exam (9E0-402). At the time of publication, only the existing exam (9E0-569) could be cited, even though the book was written to apply to exam 9E0-402.Regardless if you plan to take the exam, this book is good to learn about the Cisco CallManager and the CIPT solution.

Important

This is important book for system -voice administrator very much.I`ll prepare by this book to pass CCIT
