CCIE Voice Lab PSTN Simulator
Hi Guys,
What do you guys use to simulator a true PSTN environment in your CCIE (Voice) Home practice lab? I have seen a couple of PRI ISDN simulators on ebay promising alot. However, I do not know if they will deliver in terms of actual B channels configuration on the router interface and the other nice things we have come to love in the true PSTN environment and expect in the CCIE (Voice).
I do not know if the second question fall in the realm of NDA, though I doubt it but if you feel it does, please ignore. The CCIE (Voice) blue print only states ‘IP Phones’ there is no indication of the type of phones viz: 7971, 7970, 7960, 7940, 7935, 7912, 7910, 7902, etc the list goes on with the G versions.
It will be nice to know what is actually tested on the Lab [I have myself to blame for this, while at San Jose for my CCIE (R&S), the phones were right there on the desk, but the heat of the moment, did not allow one to peak at the models]. I have a couple of 7960s & 7940s and intend buying some 7912 or 7910s, do one really need that conference phone (7935)?
I am in the process of putting my CCIE (Voice) Home Lab together, your input will be appreciated.
Any advice will be appreciated.
