Cisco CIPT1 8.0: Implementing Media Resources in Unified Communications Manager

Overview/Description
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) supports various types of media resources. It is important to understand how to configure the software- and hardware-based media resources that CUCM servers provide, and how to implement Cisco hardware-based media resources. This course describes the available hardware- and software-based media resources and how they are configured in CUCM to provide features such as conferencing, transcoding, media termination, and music on hold (MOH). The course also explains how to perform access control to media resources by using Media Resource Groups (MRGs) and Media Resource Group Lists (MRGLs).
