Objectives and Pre-requisites
Course Objectives
PSTN 2200 Gateway Advanced & Troubleshooting (PGWAT) v9.7 is a five-day instructor-led course that will help students acquire skills and in-depth knowledge about components and protocols of any PGW system. The goal of the course is to provide students with the trouble-shooting skills, demystify interconnection testing including ITU related standards and to de-scribe new advanced PGW features. After the course, students should be able to design PGW systems to introduce it as a new element in existing telecommunication networks allow-ing seamless integration with various third party products.
Upon completing this course you will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Troubleshoot the elements of the PGW system
- Troubleshoot the protocols that are connecting elements inside each PGW system
- Provision “hidden” features and reveal non-standard PGW implementations
- Conduct full interconnection testing based on ITU standards
- Learn about upcoming and recently implemented PGW features
Prerequisites
The knowledge and skills you must have before attending this course are as follows:
- PSTN 2200 Gateway Basics (PGWB)
