General Questions[edit | edit source]

Where can I find Microsoft Teams Admin and End User trainings ?[edit | edit source]

What are the differences between a "Teams Connect" and a "Teams Virtual" ?[edit | edit source]

Teams Connect Teams Virtual
Short Description VTX handles "only" the connection between Teams Cloud and the Telephony Network allowing you to operates real phone numbers on your Teams Client Teams Virtual allows an hybrid environment with SIP Phones and Teams Phones

The Intelligence remains handled in the VTX Kiosk

Analogy Like a VTX ConnectPBX product but to be used only with Teams Cloud ( preconfigured for Teams by VTX with a lot of automation ) a VTX VPBX service allowing you to use MS Teams client in parallel of normal SIP phones
VTX Service and Licenses Needed a "Teams Connect" ( billed per number of concurrent calls + number of numbers )

N/A per user

a VPBX Service ( billed per number of numbers )

a "Teams Virtual" license per user

Microsoft Licenses Needed Microsoft Teams per user

Microsoft Phone System per user

Microsoft Teams per user

Microsoft Phone System per user

Pros - Simple and Basic solution from VTX to add real numbers to your Teams accounts

- "Cheap" solution to use Microsoft Teams

- Allows an hybrid solution if you do not wish to have all your users and landing Zone to

use Microsoft Licenses.

- You can use a mix of simple SIP phones ( Gigaset, Snom, Yealink,... ), VTX Softphones (DeskopControl / MobileControl), Teams Softphones and Yealink Teams phones within the same user or on different users

- Allows to handle all Time Conditions and IVR and Groups within VTX Kiosk

Cons - Management of all intelligence in Teams Admin in less sexy than in the VTX Kiosk

- Doesn't allow to operate simple SIP phones within the same VTX service

Keep my @company.ch domain : Can I use VTX Teams service with my own Teams domain @company.ch ?[edit | edit source]

  • Problematic: You do own a Microsoft Teams domain like company.ch and you would like to integrate the accounts you have within a "VTX Teams Connect" or "VTX Teams Virtual"
  • Information:
    • When subscribing to a VTX Teams service, VTX will provide you with a teams domain like xxxx.teams.ipvoip.ch . This domain will be used to bridge your own Teams accounts ending with "@company.ch" with the VTX service. You will never need to force this domain for your end user
    • During the VTX Teams service setup, you will be asked to create one temporarily user with the @xxxx.teams.ipvoip.ch domain, but only one, and you can delete it as soon as service is running
    • The scrips provided by VTX will allow you to assign numbers to your @company.ch Teams users
  • Conclusion: Yes, you can use your own Teams domain @company.ch with VTX Teams service, no need to change your users domain

Multi-Provider : Can I use VTX Teams service in parallel of other provider services ?[edit | edit source]

  • Problematic: You do already have another provider that handles the telephony Direct trunking and you wish to also integrate a VTX Teams service
  • Information: VTX does provide a unique teams domain per service and also create unique Call Routing rules including this unique ID
  • Conclusion: Yes, it is possible to setup a VTX Teams service in parallel of an existing service from another provider. You will select which number is handled by which provider.

Frequent Errors[edit | edit source]

New-CsOnlineVoiceRoutingPolicy - Cannot find specified Online PSTN usage[edit | edit source]

  • Problem: When we run the script to create the call routing, you might get a red error that New-CsOnlineVoiceRoutingPolicy is not working
  • Symptoms: When running the script to create the call routing, you might get an error "Cannot find specified Online PSTN usage"
  • Possible Explanation:
    • You forgot to create the temporary User "enableteams"
    • MS Teams platform is getting some delay and between the time we create the Online PSTN usage and the time we use it in Online Voice Routing Policy, we need to wait for Teams platform to get up to date
  • Solution:
  1. Verify that you did create the "enableteam" user, cf FAQ:Teams#Create_a_temporarily_user_in_the_.3Cservicenumber.3E.teams.ipvoip.ch_domain
  2. Wait up to 4h and try again to use the script again


As you can see after some time, the same command did work

Teams Error - Cannot Find Online PSTN Usage - Wait a few hours and try again
