VoIP:VTX Teams Virtual

With VTX Teams Virtual, smoothly integrate Microsoft Teams environment within a VTX VPBX Telephony solution to get a complementary hybrid solution that would fit all your needs.

Introduction

The purpose of this page is to explain how to setup and manage a VTX Teams Virtual service to integrate it within your Microsoft 365 domain. A presentation of the service is available at https://www.vtx.ch/fr/corporate/telephonie/teams-virtual and https://www.vtx.ch/de/corporate/telefonie/teams-virtual

How does it work ?

VTX Teams Virtual allows to integrate Teams accounts into the VTX VPBX service as if they were simple softphones ( Ex : VTX DesktopControl and VTX MobileControl ) allowing to provide an hybrid environment. You can keep having some users using SIP phones only, some other users using only Teams, and some others using both SIP phones and Teams Client in the same time.

Technically, Microsoft Teams acts as a "PBX" with one main auto configured SIP trunk connection towards VTX Telephony platform handling calls and numbers hosted on Teams. VTX Virtual PBX service provides one connection per phone number allowing phones to be used in different locations and adding several features like groups, headnumbers, timecondition, BLF, IVR, Dedicated Confrence on top of them. The power of the VTX Teams Virtual Service is to merge these 2 services together integrating a number of the Teams Connect as if it was any SIP phone within the VPBX.

So you could be using in parallel a Snom/Yealink/Gigaset SIP phone + VTX Softphones ( MobileControl + DesktopControl ) + Teams ( on PC and Mobile too ), all these phones would ring if you receive an incoming call and all these phones would allow you to call out

Voice Dial Plan

Add a dialplan to match 4 digits extension with their +e164 number format

• Problem: Teams will only allow you to call +e164 numbers, and if you do not have a number with the correct format, it will automatically add a +41 prefix ( country depending of the country of your user ) . So you are not able to call other extensions belonging to the VPBX with their extension number
• Problematic: You would like to add some dial plan mapping to allow this
• Solution: Follow the procedure below

1. Read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoftteams/create-and-manage-dial-plans to understand how it works
2. Connect to https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/teamsdialplan
3. Edit the Global Dialplan to add mapping based on your needs
   1. Add a "Normalization rules" based on your needs. PS: There is a nice wizard to help you build it
   2. Ex: Here in the example we are adding a mapping to map extensions in 84xx format with +412287984xx
4. You can test your extension mapping with the test tool

What are the differences between a "Teams Connect" and a "Teams Virtual" ?

	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 ?

• 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 ?

• 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.

Migration

How to use Teams in parallel of my existing PBX ?

• Problematic: You have some of users within a VTX "Connect PABX" that wish to use Teams ( keeping their number )
• Information: Teams can be completely embedded within a VTX VPBX with the VTX Teams Virtual service. For PBX, integration is different.
• Solution: There are 2 possible solutions

Solution 1: Move some numbers to Teams

1. (VTX) Subscribe to a VTX Teams Virtual or VTX Teams Connect depending on your needs
2. (Teams) Prepare your user in Teams with the desired number
3. (VTX) Ask VTX to move the number from the PBX to Teams
4. (PBX setup) Remove the number from PBX setup
5. (PBX setup) Redirect internal number to full number. So if an internal user calls the short number or the full number of the colleague, it will go out from the PBX->VTX->Teams

Solution 2: Use Teams in parallel of existing phones behind the PBX: Incoming calls ringing on PBX + Teams, outgoing calls possible from PBX + Teams

1. (VTX) Subscribe to a VTX Teams Virtual or VTX Teams Connect depending on your needs
2. (Teams) Prepare your user in Teams with another VTX number ( new number provided by VTX that won't be shown when calling out )
3. (Teams) Follow FAQ:Teams#CLIP_:_Number_Display_-_I_wish_to_display_a_different_number_than_my_direct_line_for_my_outgoing_calls to have this Teams account displaying the PBX number
4. (PBX setup) Setup the PBX to have a parallel ringing between the user account on the PBX and the VTX Teams account

Features

Main Teams Features not related to VTX

The idea of this wiki is not to document how Teams App is working, but this Microsoft is doing a great job. So if you have questions about specific features in Teams ( not related to VTX), please have a look at their documentation

• Ex: Teams Video Training : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/microsoft-teams-video-training-4f108e54-240b-4351-8084-b1089f0d21d7
• Other solution : https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=microsoft+teams+app+write+your+question+here

Teams GAB (Global Address Book) Directory Missing

• Status: As incredible as it sounds, It doesn't seems possible to enable a Global Address Book directory for several Teams users
• Actions: We have tried it and with Ops Team and even with an Azure Active Directory Premium license, it is not possible to create a global directory
• Information
  • The feature request for a GAB ( Global Address Book ) was visible in E365 Roadmap in 2020 but was deleted afterwards
  • With a Team Virtual, it would be possible to have incoming call reverse lookup ( and only incoming call reverse lookup ) ! But not with a Connect Teams, info added in VoIP:VTX_Teams_Virtual#VTX_Teams_Virtual_value_added_features
  • Some external paying tools seems to allow to sync an external directory with each individual Teams Directory, but it gets tricky
• References:
  • https://www.msxfaq.de/teams/pbx/teams_rnl.htm
  • https://erwinbierens.com/microsoft-teams-using-reverse-number-lookup/

• Conclusion:
  • VTX is not responsible for the lack of this missing features in Teams, and indeed this one doesn't seem to be possible
  • Some tweaks might be possible with full Office 365 integration but we haven't tested it

Delegate : Share a phone line with a delegate

• Information: Microsoft Teams allows to delegate management of incoming and/or outgoing calls allowing a colleague/secretary to handle your calls, cf https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-a-phone-line-with-a-delegate-16307929-a51f-43fc-8323-3b1bf115e5a8
