Depending on what kind of routers you were using in R&S, will determine what kind of additional modules and components you need to add into your routers to make them voice gateways. What do you have router-wise and switch-wise? Normally a full lab consists of the following components
HQ-RTR (2811) VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1= (2) PVDM2-16= or (1) PVDM2-32= BR1-RTR (2811) VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1= (2) PVDM2-16= or (1) PVDM2-32= BR2-RTR (2811) (2) VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1= (2) PVDM2-16= or (1) PVDM2-32= (1) NME-CUE or (1) NM-CUE or (1) AIM-CUE HQ-SW (3750 PoE or 3560 PoE) Note: a non-PoE switch can be used instead, as long as you have power adapters for the phones. PSTN-WAN Emulator (2811) (2) VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1= (2) VWIC2-1MFT-T1/E1= Phones - (2) 7961s for HQ (2) 7961s for BR1 (4) 7961s for BR2 (1) 7960 for PSTN-WAN Note: you can get away with earlier models of phones and phones with fewer buttons, but you will be limiting yourself to the features which they can do. Many of the labs require more than 2 buttons to be configured. If at all possible, go with 7961 phones. 7962s are even better with 7965s being what is used in the actual lab. Server or a couple of servers (running VMWare ESXi) with sufficient RAM and HD space to run the following application servers: Unified Communications Manager - Publisher Unified Communications Manager - Subscriber Unity Connection Unified Presence Server Unified Contact Center Express If you have other models of routers, please post those and we can help you outfit those with what components you will need to be able to have a full lab which matches IPExpert's current lab topology.
