This chapter covers the following topics:

  • PSTN Options for Webex Calling: This topic will identify the PSTN options available for the Webex Calling solution.

  • Routers Supporting Local Gateway: This topic will review the different routers that can be used to support the Local Gateway functions for Webex Calling.

  • Deployment Scenarios for the Local Gateway: This topic will overview the various deployment scenarios for how a Local Gateway can be deployed both with and without a Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Up to this point, we have established that Webex is a cloud-based solution designed to support any company, regardless of size. Webex Calling revolves around the ability to call out across the public switched telephone network (PSTN) from IP-based devices registered to Webex Control Hub. The size of the company and the options you choose with your Webex subscription will affect the complexity level required to deploy Webex Calling. For small and medium businesses (SMBs) there is a very affordable and simple Webex Calling option. Larger enterprises will need to deploy the more complex solution using the Local Gateway. Before Webex Calling is deployed, you should understand each of the topics discussed in this chapter:

  • PSTN options for Webex Calling

    • Cloud-connected PSTN (CCP)

    • Cisco PSTN

    • Premises-based PSTN

  • Routers supporting local gateway

    • Cisco routers

    • Third-party routers

    • Registration- and certificate-based local gateway

    • Deployment scenarios for the local gateway

This chapter covers the following objectives from the Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies v1.1 (CLCOR 350-801) exam:

  • 3.4 Describe cloud calling hybrid local gateway

“Do I Know This Already?” Quiz

CAUTION

The goal of self-assessment is to gauge your mastery of the topics in this chapter. If you do not know the answer to a question or are only partially sure of the answer, you should mark that question as wrong for the purposes of the self-assessment. Giving yourself credit for an answer you correctly guess skews your self-assessment results and might provide you with a false sense of security.
