Welcome Message

Hello my dear reader,

Welcome to my blog, which is dedicated to Cisco technologies. On its pages we will talk about the limitless world of telephony and networking.

We will focus mostly on Cisco collaboration solutions and technologies. These are IP PBX based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, Cisco contact centers, Cisco Voice Gateways, etc. Also, I will introduce you the education news: Cisco authorized courses, my own developed training programs, our upcoming events, online learning.

If you have any questions regarding my posts, job or activities, please feel free to ask your questions. I will try to answer them when I have time.

If you are satisfied with the content of my blog, isn’t that worth a beer or coffee? Donations help me to continue supporting the blog and creating new posts here — things for which I spend hours of my free time! Thank you very much!

Sincerely, Dmytro Benda

Hardware Media Resources on CUCME

Hello again, my dear colleagues! :)

Finally I got some time for another blog post. As always, there was a lot of work, despite the summer period, there was a business trip to our branch in Almaty, where I delivered my traditional Cisco voice courses. And, of course, there was a long-awaited vacation. :)

The reason for writing today's message was my joint work with one of my students - Adonis Troitsky from Almaty. Recently, I assisted him in solving a problem with the registration of hardware media resources (conference bridge and transcoder) on CUCME 8.0. The Cisco Authorized Courses go into some detail about how media resources work with the "server" Cisco Call Manager (CUCM), but they don't cover how to use it with CUCME (Cisco Unified Communication Manager Express). Let's compensate the vendor's omission and cover this topic in more detail.
