Description
The Cisco DTA Control System (DTACS) v2.0 is a 3-day instructor-led lab-intensive course that introduces the learners to the Cisco Digital Transport Adapter Control System (DTACS) features, functions and topology.
In this course learners learn the important theoretical concepts which the Cisco DTACS is based on, and gain the practical knowledge and skills to operate and maintain the Cisco DTACS in their network. As an alternative to a set-top box, a Cisco Digital Transport Adapter (DTA) enables subscribers to watch digital broadband services on analog and digital televisions, as well as other display devices. This course takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills needed to understand and operate a Cisco DTACS for Cisco DTA management.
This course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure that learners can successfully operate a Cisco DTACS.
