In this course, you will identify the hardware needed to support System and Session Manager. Then, through a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, you will install and configure these products to support SIP users, SIP call routing, and networking of Avaya and third-party applications. Maintenance and troubleshooting tools are also discussed and used.

This course combines Avaya Aura Session Manager and System Manager R6.3 Implementation (4U00040) and Avaya Aura Session Manager and System Manager R6.3 Support (5U00050)into an eight-day boot camp.
