Cisco IP Phone 7941

Advantages: ease of use, strong, durable, linking into GAL, remote managment and upgrades from call manager.
Disadvantages: Call quality is dependant on quality of the Network. Duplex settings, over utilized network, etc

...In my experience with the Cisco IP phone 7941, which has been for 5 years or so, has been nothing but pleasure. There features to link into AD and the ability to log onto any phone in the building and look up a user on the GAL on AD is very handy indeed. Call Transfer,Conference, Mute are the standard features. The Phones will have to be set up to work with a call manager, Which is a centre point to manage the phones, and has the ability to record conversation for quality control, etc. They have 2 options when it comes to powering these phones, on is to buy a power adapter, the other is to buy a Cisco Switch that can supply power to the phones via Ethernet. They are strong and reliable, they have been used as call centre phones, and we know what kind of abuse they would be put through in that environment. All in all, i would rate...

Basic Cisco Course

Advantages: More money @ work, More Knowledge
Disadvantages: !!!!!!

...I work in the Network Security Industry & work for a company called Equant (Who provide Global Network solutions & own the largest privately owned Network in the World), & was looking for a basic level Cisco course to achieve an acreditation. The ICND course (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices) is an ideal course to start. Although very Cisco orientated (as you could imagine), it doe sgive you a valuable basic knowledge of how the Cisco products interact with each other & other devices & networks (ie: Novell, which has recently dumped it's own IPX protocol, in favour of IP, this makes things easier as you can now deal with IP addressing & not just MAC addresses). I went on an ICND course provided by a company called Getronics, based in Milton Keynes, I am now planning to take the Cisco CCNA exam, which is the first Certification...

Review of Cisco - ICND Course

Obsolete, but perfect for Cisco exams

Advantages: Very Cheap, with lots of features
Disadvantages: Will help with CCNA, but may stuggle with CCNP

...I bought one of these routers off ebay to help with my upcoming (Cisco) CCNA exam. These are by no means cutting edge routers, and are obsolete now as they only support 10Mbps via their AUI (lan) port and support a limited amount of protocols. The router itself has one AUI port, which when used with a transceiver can connect to either another router or a switch (at 10Mbps); 2 serial ports which can be configured with a routing protocol such as frame relay to connect to another switch or ISP data terminal equipment, a console port to configure the router itself, and an AUX port for modem connection. Though well past it's sell by date, the switch is perfect to get to grips with Ciscos IOS (internetwork Operating System) and set up simple routed networks in conjuction with other routers and switches. One thing to be aware of when buying...

Review of TOPCOM VoIP Microphone Headset 400

A neat little webcam, perfect for VOIP.

Advantages: Neat, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Manual information is a little lacking in places.

...manual a bit lacking in places. It tells you to install the driver software, but ignores the capture (Amcap) software. However, the user interface on the CD is quite good and gives you all the software installation options. When installing the camera, you may need to refer to the printed & diagrammatical instuctions simultaneously. I found that my Windows XP (home) operating system recognised the camera & added it as new hardware with no problems. The initial camera set up interface is easy to use. Use: Web cam (video conferencing): I wanted to use this camera purely for Skype conversations. I was impressed with the streaming picture quality during web conferencing. It interfaced with Skype perfectly but can also be used with most other mainstream chat/voip programs. The camera was easy to focus (by using the focussing ring...

To network or not to network????

Advantages: can get you a very well paid job!, world wide
Disadvantages: alot of info to take in, can get very confusing!

...First of all, What is Cisco? Cisco is a networking course, which is split into four parts, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 1, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 2, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 3, and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 4. In each CCNA, there are around 15 online mini tests which helps you to pass the final exam. In my Cisco class, we aim to do 1 mini test a week, and on the final test for each CCNA part, we must obtain, 70% or more, for a pass. Cisco in general teaches you how to connect two or more personal computers to each other and enable them to communicate, which can be used to share a internet connection, share printers, to send files, or even have a massive game, against all your mates! which is also known as a LAN party! Types of networks There are many types of networks...

VOIP with Tesco.....

Advantages: Very cheap phone calls, decent quality handset
Disadvantages: Handset's cord isn't very long.

...I don't have a landline, because for the amount of phone calls I make, it wouldn't be worth paying the monthly line rental. I normally use my mobile to make calls, but as you can imagine it's very expensive. So, when I saw Tesco Internet Phones in a computer magazine, promising cheap calls and no hidden fees, I immediately decided I'd get one. *What is Tesco Internet Phone and what do I need in order to have one?* Basically it's Tesco's new voice over ip service - which means that you can make phone calls over your broadband internet connection. To use this phone you need a broadband internet connection - it doesn't matter what speed, a pc with a USB socket, and you must be over 18 and have a debit or credit card (so you can buy credit). *Where do I get one?* Go into your local Tesco and look for the Tesco Internet Phone...

CCNA New Version from March 2002

Advantages: Great starting point for advancement, Certification
Disadvantages: credible in industry, geek like...

...The CCNA changed earlier this year. Not a great deal of problems though. A CCNA is the Cisco Certified Network Administrator which indicates that the holder of the certificate has passed a Cisco exam indicating that they can carry out the operation of an administrator in a Network IT function. The actual exam is taken online via either prometric or VUE which costs about £90... The pass mark is a rather high 85 % give or take 1%... As I said the exam changed recently, it used to be 65 questions and was quite straight forward... Nowadays the Exam also consists of a performance related section on a Cisco router/switch whereby the screen represents an actual screen display from a switch and asks you to type commands etc instead of multiple choice type answers. The exam is now 45 questions which are slightly harder and make...
