Today we had an overview about Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). This is a fascinating subject and complicated subject. However, a technician will encounter VOIP phones regularly and having an understanding of the basic concept of how it works is truly relevant. I am impressed by the innovative solution Alex came off with in addressing the need of a student to have an analog phone work on the VOIP server. In all honesty, I haven’t worked with VOIP at all and listening to Alex explain the subject in a application case is truly helpful.
We also did a lab assignment about how to provision a VOIP phone. Although we ran out of time to finish I am sure that we will be able to tomorrow.
