time (UTC+4)*.
It's free and open for anyone who is interested with the subject. No NDA
material will be discussed.

Agenda:
- About
- What is CCIE?
- CCIE Routing & Switching v4.0

CCIE R&S WebEx Session (English) - FAQ When is the session?
Sunday, 24th April 2011 at 11 am Dubai time (UTC+4)

Do I have to pay to join?
No, it's an open session. Anyone who is interested with the subject can
join.

How to join the session?
Please register by using the following link and fill all the required
information. Once you are approved, you will receive WebEx invite with
meeting information.
https://cisco.webex.com/ciscosales/j.php?ED=163585137&RG=1&UID=1531355972&RT=MiMzNg%3D%3D

How to get approval?
Just fill up all the required info properly. Attention: once get approved,
the WebEx invite will be sent to the email you put during registration. So
it's very important to use your actual email.

Do I need to send email to Himawan with "I have registered" or "please
include me"?
No. If I feel that you put the right information (e.g. no funny name, and it
looks like you put real job title, company name, city etc) I will approve it
for sure.

After registration gets approved, then what?
WebEx invite will be sent over the email. Inside the invite there is a link
to join the session on Sunday with the meeting information such as the
meeting password and the WebEx number you can dial if you don't use the
callback feature (please read the answer about the audio in the meeting).

Do I need to install any software to join the WebEx?
On Sunday when you click the link from WebEx invite and this is your first
time attending WebEx meeting, there may be a plugin/client needs to be
installed but usually it happens automagically you just need to follow the
process and accept the installation when asked.

What kind of features are available during the session?
Using WebEx client you will be able to see the slides, listen to the audio
(over the phone), watch the video of myself and other attendees if they turn
on the camera, and you can chat with me and all others.

What is the minimum bandwidth required to use the client?
From documentation it needs about 90 - 130 kbps in order to see the slide
and video with acceptable delay. But I heard in my last WebEx session one
person joined with Internet dial up connection and was still able to see the
slide even with some delay. Audio is using normal phone so it's not relevant
with the bandwidth.

How to listen to the audio?
When the first time you join the meeting there will be a pop-up window
asking to fill up your country code and phone number, then the system will
call that number. You can also get the same pop-up window by selecting 'join
conference' from the menu. The other way is by calling the WebEx number
available in the WebEx invite and put the meeting number when asked.

Can I join with audio only, without WebEx client?
Yes, you can. To make the system call your number you need to join with the
client and fill up your phone number as explained above. But if you want to
join with audio only, please dial to the WebEx number available in the
invite and put the meeting number when asked. The meeting number can be
found from the same WebEx invite.

Why can't the audio use integrated Voip?
Because the VoiP quality depends on your Internet connection. Some of the
attendees may not have fast Internet connection hence won't get a good
audio. And in the WebEx that I use there is no option to use both normal
phone and integrated Voip for audio, I have to select either one so I go
with normal phone.

How to ask question during the session?
Everyone will be put in muted from the beginning of the meeting. If you want
to ask question please use the chat window, and send your question to
everyone not privately to me. I want to make the session as interactive as
possible so you can ask anytime and I will try to answer right away. The
questions related to the current slide are more preferable.

Why this kind of session always happen on Sunday?
Because that's the only time I can do it.

Will the session be recorded?
Yes, but the recording won't be available for download and I can't guarantee
the quality of the audio in the recording. And obviously it won't be
interactive so if you have questions in mind related to the subject you will
have your opportunity to ask during the session.
