Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan design concepts of a voice network for specified voice quality
- Determine the design requirements of an IP-based voice network, including the choice of network elements
- Evaluate the various applications of real-time protocols and of signalling protocols for an appropriate gateway
- Design a site numbering plan, including digit manipulation and path selection process
- Plan and assign calling privileges as required
- Predict VoIP call flow and potential impact on voice quality considerations and network performance
- Design, configure implement and test voice protocols and interoperation of VoIP communications network
- Produce the design layout of the voice network according to the design requirements
- Design and configure a gateway and a gatekeeper to using H.323 protocol suite for dial plan resolution and call admission control for the network
- Configure and test the use of real-time protocols, call management protocols and gateway signalling protocol in the network design
- Analyse the function and interoperation of gatekeepers within an IP communications network
- Design, configure and test a VoIP IP-to-IP call system
- Analyse the IP-to-IP gateway features and functionality requirements for a given network design requirement
- Configure the gatekeeper to support an IP-to-IP gateway
- Configure and test the IP-to-IP gateway to provide address hiding, protocol and media interworking, and call admission control implementations
- Produce test results and evaluate against design requirements
