Welcome Message

Hello my dear reader,

Welcome to my blog, which is dedicated to Cisco technologies. On its pages we will talk about the limitless world of telephony and networking.

We will focus mostly on Cisco collaboration solutions and technologies. These are IP PBX based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, Cisco contact centers, Cisco Voice Gateways, etc. Also, I will introduce you the education news: Cisco authorized courses, my own developed training programs, our upcoming events, online learning.

SSL Issue (CVP OAMP to Call Server Connection)

Of course, the reasons for such behavior of the Dialer can be completely different, because the deployment of this function is quite complicated. In this article, let's look at one of these reasons, which is related to SIP PING.
