COURSE DESCRIPTION:
EURO ISDN is becoming to be accepted as a solution for the interconnection of voice and data throughout Europe. Previously each vendor and associated country used its own proprietary approach in signaling on the D channel.
This proprietary approach hind ered the spread of ISDN and its interoperability. EURO ISDN changes this and provides a framework for successful ISDN implementation throughout Europe.
In this seminar, students will become acquainted in all aspects of EURO ISDN in detail. From a unique Hands-On approach in learning D channel protocols to ISDN components and pricing, all will be discussed and explored in this seminar by experts in the industry.
In addition, an introduction to Frame Relay will be given. This evolutionary technology is seen as an early broadband service capable of connecting LANs and other types of networks. The section will break down the mystery of Frame Relay and how it relates to ISDN, other technologies, and the solutions it provides. Seminar prerequisites A bas ic understanding of telecommunications, datacommunications and some LAN/WAN experience.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
Be knowledgeable in ISDN terminology, concepts and components
Be able to analyze and simulate ISDN D-channel protocols using a unique Hands-On approach.
Achieve an in-depth understanding of ISDN protocols for product and application interoperability
Become aware of EURO ISDN tariffing
Understand ISDN pricing for different applications
Understand the advantages of frame relay and how it fits in with ISDN and other technologies
Receive free software for the study and analysis of ISDN protocols.
