Abstract
Integrating UC and network management tools
Managing an extended roll-out programme of VOIP services replacing Siemens DX equipment across a large campus prompted the development of custom tools in-house at Loughborough and integration of existing network management software. Gary will talk about the process of gathering and importing telephony data to an existing Active Directory implementation, managing a large DDI and non-DDI number range across multiple exchanges and tying together NetDisco, CallManager and command-line tools with Perl, MySQL, expect and LDAP.
