VoIP Deployment For Dummies (Paperback)

Voice over Internet Protocol is a disruptive technology that is changing the face of telecom. The technology has been adopted to some degree by every long distance carrier in America and around the world. After several years of use by only highly technological hobbyists and advanced carriers, VoIP has finally gained legitimacy and is now being released to the average American for home and business.

VoIP Deployment For Dummies is designed to educate those individuals who have already decided to make the leap to VoIP and who could be in the implementation process or even active on a VoIP platform. The book covers how to analyze your network prior to rolling out a VoIP solution and a method of monitoring and maintaining it after VoIP is deployed. It also covers the basics of VoIP with Secession Initiation Protocol (SIP), the logistics involved with a VoIP migration, and an extensive section on troubleshooting VoIP with the help of Wireshark software. There is coverage of hardware considerations as well as software, establishing security in the system, managing Quality Of Service, maintaining a system with the help of third-party software, and the tricks to faxing over a VoIP line.

All the books currently on the market that are associated with VoIP or SIP fail to place the technology into the day-to-day world of telecom. They do not equip the reader with the information needed to manage VoIP in the real world. For example, these books do not tell readers what to expect when faxing over VoIP, how to overcome the challenges with sending touch-tones (DTMF tones), or how to troubleshoot VoIP calls. VoIP Deployment For Dummies covers all the day-to-day issues of managing a VoIP system.
