Course Description

Prepare to pass exam: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Management 9.2 Implementation Essentials

An Oracle Communications Session Border Controller Implementation has demonstrated the knowledge required to use Session Border Controller (SBC) on a project, configure SBC, centralize, manage, route and enhance the signaling and media protocols. Individuals who earn this certification are able to configure SBC to protect, centralize, manage, route and enhance the signaling and media protocols used in an enterprise or service provider communications network.

To prepare for the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller Implementation exam, focus on understanding session border controller (SBC) concepts, network configurations, and security features. Study Oracle's official guides, practice configuring SBC environments, and review use cases to ensure you're ready for the exam.

Additionally, familiarize yourself with common SBC deployment scenarios, signaling protocols like SIP, and call flows. Practice troubleshooting common issues and configuring SBC features such as transcoding and routing policies. Utilizing hands-on labs or virtual environments will strengthen your practical knowledge for the exam.
