Re: Is it possible to connect 2 carrier Teams Tenants with 1 supported SBC?
Audreylu92- I know this is 4 years too late for you and assume you've sorted this by now, but for others there are a few ways. 1) Using your existing certified SBC you can (license permitting) connect another SIP trunk to your 2nd carrier and then create an inbound routing rule to route all traffic into your downstream Teams DR trunk on the SBC. You don't need to create 2 Teams trunks (assuming the same Teams tenant is being used). On the outbound trunk from Teams in your SBC, create routing rules that take the calling number from 2nd carrier pattern to then route to your 2nd carrier trunk. 2) Alternatively, there is a SaaS service that makes this easier for you that is point and click without deep technical expertise called Callroute. Check their tech article here: https://callroute.com/tech-blog/microsoft-teams/connect-multiple-carriers-microsoft-teams/ If you're a carrier though and want to connect multiple customer trunks to multiple customer Teams tenants then you have a few options 1) Direct Routing in the carrier trunk model (derived) which I can see you've already found the link for 2) Operator Connect 3) Callroute can also provide Option 1 aaS Thanks, Mark264Views0likes0CommentsBlock Office Addins from Office store
Hi I have a requirement to block office addins from the office store in web version of office and office pro plus. I have disabled the office store in the tenant settings and have blocked the office store via registry for C2R. However, if I load a document in Word / Excel Online then I can browse the office store and add whatever addin i like. How do i prevent people adding addins to office online? thanksSolved14KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Porting rules in the U.K.
Hi You can do partial ports but they must not include the Billing Telephone Number on your existing provider's account. If you nee to move that, then the whole range needs to move. Most porting requests in the UK require a service request, especially if you are porting free phone or numbers from areas where Microsoft are yet to have a range already. If this is the case make sure you have your LOA signed as it speeds up the process. Typically in my experience, porting takes between 3 and 5 weeks, so the requested date is only suggestive, not absolute.1.1KViews1like0CommentsRe: New Skype4B Hybrid Setup - On-Prem has no Presence for Online Users
Hi Yeah to do hybrid properly, you'll need to add all O365 domains to your additional domains in On-Prem topology. This of course means updating certs. You then need to make sure that DNS is pointing towards your On-Prem for all SIP domains in 365. Otherwise federation will not work right and you'll get weird issues. Those accounts also need to be sourced from your on-prem AD. The problem is the -SharedSIPAddressSpace parameter on the tenant, basically is responsible for this complexity as it is a tenant level setting not per SIP domain. There is also a weird quirk in how 365 performs federation. If a SIP domain exists in your tenant it will hairpin inside the tenant the communication. It will not break out to the internet, or perform DNS SRV lookup. So if you dont configure hybrid properly for all domains, you'll get this weird behaviour. I know, i've been through this pain :s If this is not possible, you need separate tenants. Assuming it is, you do not need to move users back to on-prem then move them to online, although that would work. The enable command should work provided your account of course is in 365 and not on-prem already. Basically what this does is tell the On-Prem SfB that the user is part of the topology, but is hosted on SfBO. this allows internal users to route to cloud users and also vice versa.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: New Skype4B Hybrid Setup - On-Prem has no Presence for Online Users
Hi Please can you clarify this "Just set up a new Skype4B hybrid (first time in yeeeeeeeeeeers). Attaching an on-premises pool with one set of SIP addresses to a Skype4B Online environment with another set of domains for SIP addresses." I am assuming that your SIP domains exist in your On-Prem topology and the same ones exist in 365? If not they need to match. Secondly, assuming that your have synced your AD to Azure AD? One question - the cloud users where they enabled in SfB Online first? If so then this would explain your behaviour. You'll need to tell your on-prem that they existin in the cloud, by enabling them like so Enable-CsUser -Identity "username" -SipAddress "sip: username@contoso.com" -HostingProviderProxyFqdn "sipfed.online.lync.com"8KViews1like6CommentsRe: Desktop Sharing with external user
Hi Eric In terms of Licencing the only one you need is the Skype Online Plan 2 licence which comes with E1 and E3 licencing SKU out of the box. You don't need CloudPBX, PSTN Conferencing or Enterprise CAL unless you want PSTN conferencing and other traditional voice workloads When you schedule your meetings, you will want to generate the meeting join link in outlook, or via the web scheduler https://sched.lync.com. After you have done this, send the link out to your participants and if they do not have Skype for Business installed on their system, they can use the Skype for Business Meetings Web App which is downloadable from the join page the meeting link connects them to. This is licence free and a 2 minute install. Alternatively, you may want to use Skype Broadcast Meetings https://portal.broadcast.skype.com which can be used as a show and tell presentation. This allows joiners to watch and listen, and have text Q&A but no voice or video collaboration. The benefit of this is that people can watch your presentation in real time, catch up and play on demand on any device without an app. But it has those limitations explained. thanks21KViews1like1CommentRe: PSTN Consumption with PSTN Conferencing. Licensing question
Hi For more details check out my blog on the subject here: https://three65.blog/2017/06/28/skype-for-business-online-cloudpbx-calling-plans-and-consumption-billing-explained/ In essence dial in 1800 numbers will come out of consumption billing without being assigned to anyone. If you want to dial out of a conference, then consumption billing needs to be assigned to the person(s) who make the dial out call. thanks5.2KViews1like1CommentRe: Skype for Business - Translator
Sorry, i misunderstood "While the video would be nice my biggest want is just translation for the IM." meaning IM = Instant Messaging, not voice. At the moment this functionality is not around. There are lots of things that need to happen for tis to be possible. It's not on the short term roadmap but I know this is the nirvana so with Microsoft Cortana running subtitles in broadcast meetings demoed a year ago, I expect what you are asking for to be around within the next 2 years. Skype consumer is doing it today, not sure how good it is, but its there! Business always comes after consumer9.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Skype for Business - Translator
Hi For IM conversation translation only you can use the Lync Conversation Translator. First download the conversation translator application: hhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26136 Then import this into your registry Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\Addins\{2b26edf9-92e0-4d9c-9d7a-f772fcd4f31b}] "Name"="Skype Conversation Translator" "Parameters"="" "ExtensibilityApplicationType"=dword:00000000 "ExtensibilityWindowSize"=dword:00000001 "DefaultContextPackage"=dword:00000000 "InternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y" "ExternalURL"="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=68810&Lync=y" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites\conversationtranslator.cloudapp.net] "http"=dword:00000001 "https"=dword:0000009.5KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Caller ID Manipulation options
Hello In order to do this your ITSP must be able to register your number in the CNAM database. At the moment I do not believe that Cloud PBX has this capability. If you are on-prem or hybrid or CCE you may be able to speak to your ITSP to enquire about this. Unfortunately, this will be a carrier feature and even though you could manipulate the TO field in the SIP Invite sent from your SBC the carrier would strip it. But even if they don't, the whole world doesnt yet run on SIP so it wouldn't matter anyway. For this you'd need the CNAM database. thanks1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Data Use Numbers for S4B
This is a loaded question really. Depends on the user's consumption of it. If it is idling then there will be limited data sent to a neglible level, but a full video conference will obviously consume a lot of data. Before you can answer this you need to work out your expected average workload across all modalities and then work out the consumption by the codecs and protocols in play. You can use the bandwidth calculator to start you off with a little modification you can estimate data usage per average conference with single or mixed modality1.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Admin role needed to migrate users
Hi Yes unfortunately you need Global Admin rights on your tenant. We questioned this with Microsoft in our meetings as we also felt that this was too much of an elevated credential. However, it seems that during the move, things get written to Azure AD not just SfB Online which is why the SfB Online Admin role is insufficient. thanks1.7KViews2likes0Comments
