Part 9: Teams Direct Routing Call Routing

In this part, we will create an Online Voice Routing Policy and the needed components. You can assign this policy to the users to allow them to make outgoing calls using the on-premise SBC.

For simplicity and to complete the setup. We are creating:

A “Usage”
An “Online Voice Route” that is associated with the new Usage and uses our SBC for all outgoing calls
An “Online Voice Routing Policy” that uses the Usage (this way it will use the new SBC for outgoing calls)

You can improve this configuration by creating more of these 3 voice elements (I cannot explain this part better than Microsoft documentation)

For simplicity also, I am calling each of these components “PassAall”

Preparing the Session

Before you can use any of Teams PowerShell commands, you need to connect the PowerShell to Microsoft Teams Online using the command:

Connect-MicrosoftTeams

Creating a usage

This is how to create a new usage

Set-CsOnlinePstnUsage -Identity global -Usage @{Add=”PassAll”}

Creating an Online Voice Route

The below shows how to create a new Route (Online Voice Route) and associate it with the usage “PassAll” that we have created above

New-CsOnlineVoiceRoute -Identity “PassAll” -Description “PassAll” -NumberPattern “.*” -OnlinePstnGatewayList sbc1.jayslab.online -Priority 1 -OnlinePstnUsages “PassAll”

Creating a new Online Voice Routing Policy

The below shows the creation of a new Online Voice Routing Policy that uses the “PassAll” usage that we have created earlier. This way, this Policy will use the route (Online Voice Route) that we have just created.

New-CsOnlineVoiceRoutingPolicy “PassAll” -OnlinePstnUsages “PassAll”
