Remote Site Telephony and Branch Redundancy Options

  • Sample Chapter is provided courtesy of Cisco Press.
  • Date: Mar 5, 2016.

Chapter Description

Hannah and Behl introduce and explain the various options for deploying remote site telephony solutions and providing a level of redundancy for remote branches/offices including Cisco Business Edition, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, SRST, and other mechanisms.

Summary

The following key points were discussed in this chapter:

  • Cisco offers a host of solutions for remote sites/smaller sites so that they can connect to and leverage the services from the enterprise network.
  • Keeping redundancy in mind, Cisco IOS gateways host the endpoints at the remote site and enable the remote site users to continue using enterprise-grade telephony and collaboration features.
  • SRST (and E-SRST) allow the SCCP (and SIP) endpoints to register to local IOS gateways and enable calling within the remote site as well as outside using PSTN or SIP trunks.
