To Connect the SBC SWe Lite to Teams Direct Routing the following needs to be done:

• Add the domain that will contain the SBC to Microsoft 365 (for example, add the domain example.com if your SBC name will be SBC1.example.com)
• Enable a user in that domain (for example enable the user user1@example.com)
• Finally, you can connect the SBC to Direct Routing: Select a name to the SBC (with the domain part as one of the registered domains on Microsoft 365) and register that name of the SBC (for example, register the SBC with the name SBC1.example.com)

In this part of the series, we will do the first step from the above steps, we will add the domain to Microsoft 365

Adding the domain

The “Settings” menu will be expanded. Select “Domain”

This wizard has the capability to detect some well-known DNS registrars and it can automatically do the configuration by adding the needed DNS records.

Note:

If your DNS registrar is not one of the DNS registrars that the wizard can detect and configure, you will need to add the DNS records manually to your domain.

For me, my DNS registrar is GoDaddy (the wizard has detected it) as the image below shows
