As with any technology, expertise pays dividends. We offer various training programs for resellers and system integrators under the umbrella of Fonality trixbox Open Communication Certification (FtOCC, pronounced "F-talk"). Attend FtOCC to learn the ins and outs of trixbox administration, configuration, and troubleshooting. 

FtOCC Technician Training

FtOCC Technician Certification (trixbox CE, Pro, and PBXtra)

FtOCC Technician is a three-day technical certification course designed to train resellers and consultants to support their clients running trixbox CE, trixbox Pro, and PBXtra systems. Taught by Fonality technical support instructors, FtOCC Technician dives deep into platform and application installation, carrier setup and integration, network configuration, echo causes and remedies, and other common issues. A requirement for Authorized and Premium Resellers, this course should be taken by Linux technicians and engineers who regularly support client installations.

During the course, we will cover:

• Tier 1 and Tier 2 level troubleshooting
• LAN & WAN environments
• Proper system hardware configuration
• trixbox and PBXtra installation guidelines
• IP phone and SIP provisioning
• Proper router and firewall configuration

Who Should Attend?

• Resellers and consultants growing their trixbox and PBXtra businesses
• Linux technicians and engineers
• Fonality Authorized and Premium resellers
  

NOTE: A practitioner’s knowledge of Linux is required. Without it, you will likely not gain much value from the class, as we start day one from the Linux command line interface and build from there. In particular, the hands-on laboratory exercises will require a comfort with basic CLI commands, simple scripting, and the ability to quickly scan and analyze system and application logs.

Course Objectives: 

• Install and configure trixbox CE, trixbox Pro, and PBXtra with confidence
  
• Resolve installation, administration, and usage problems more quickly
  
• Provision your own phones, thereby decreasing the turnaround time required for add-on phones and devices!
