210-060 · Question #107

Which component is needed for a voice call to be processed between the enterprise Cisco Unified Communications system and a cell phone via the PSTN?

The correct answer is D. Cisco Integrated Service Router with digital signal processor resources. Connecting a Cisco Unified Communications system to the PSTN for calls to cell phones requires a voice gateway with DSP resources to bridge IP-based VoIP to TDM or analog PSTN circuits.

Why each option

Connecting a Cisco Unified Communications system to the PSTN for calls to cell phones requires a voice gateway with DSP resources to bridge IP-based VoIP to TDM or analog PSTN circuits.

ACisco Analog Voice Gateway VG224

The VG224 is a purely analog voice gateway with FXS ports designed for connecting analog endpoints, not for providing digital PSTN gateway connectivity for enterprise-to-cell calls.

BCisco Unified Communications Manager call processing node

The CUCM call processing node is already stated to be part of the enterprise system and handles call routing logic, but it cannot directly interface with PSTN circuits without a separate voice gateway.

CCisco Unified Communications Manager Music On Hold node

The Music On Hold node streams hold music to callers and has no role in establishing or processing PSTN call paths.

DCisco Integrated Service Router with digital signal processor resourcesCorrect

A Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) with Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources provides the necessary voice gateway functionality to terminate PSTN circuits (such as T1/E1 PRI or analog POTS lines) and transcode between the IP-based VoIP network and the PSTN. The DSP resources handle the real-time signal processing required for voice encoding, decoding, and signaling conversion needed to route calls to cell phones via the PSTN.
