Create a temporarily user in the <servicenumber>.teams.ipvoip.ch domain[edit | edit source]


  • Problematic: We wish to create a enableteams@<servicenumber>.teams.ipvoip.ch to enable Teams connection towards VTX VoIP platform
  • Solution: Please follow the procedure below
  1. Connect to https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/users
  2. Create a new user enableteams@<servicenumber>.teams.ipvoip.ch ( First Name: "Temp User" / Last Name : "VTX Teams" / Login : enableteams@<servicenumber>.teams.ipvoip.ch / No Admin Right / "Teams" and "Phone System" licenses / No need to remember its password, we won't connect with it).
  3. Wait a few seconds/minutes/hours for Teams to be enabled on this user https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/teamsprovisioning
  4. Now even after user is created you night need to wait minutes/hours before being able to create Voice Routing ( especially the New-CsOnlineVoiceRoute ), so if you can please wait 4hours, if not, try to create the routing, if you get error, try again
  5. Once everything is working ( routing + user mapping + incoming and outgoing calls ), you can delete this user to free up the licenses

Voice Routing : Create Voice Routing to allow your users to use VTX Trunk[edit | edit source]

Now you will need to setup a routing plan. You can use one of the following options to do it

  • Using a Powershell Script that will ask you questions
  • Manually in Powershell


Microsoft Admin Center - Up to 24h Latency for each setup


Create Voice Routing using a VTX Powershell Script VTX_Teams_Create_Routing_Rules.ps1[edit | edit source]


  1. Download https://wiki.vtx.ch/media/VTX_Teams_Create_Routing_Rules.ps1 on your computer ( Right Click on the link / Download )
  2. Open it with Wordpad and use Ctrl-s to save it again ( to inform the system that it is local script )
  3. Execute it on your PC : It will ask you for these parameters and create the routing

Dial Plan[edit | edit source]

Dial Plan for Emergency Numbers + Short Numbers + Special Setup[edit | edit source]

  • Information: By default if you try to dial a number, Teams Client will always try to normalize it in +e164 mode adding your country prefix like +41 or +33 to your number
  • Problem: If you call an emergency number like 112 or a Short number like 10XX or 3XXX or 116xxx or ..., it will add an invalid country prefix
  • Problematic: Add Dial Plan entries not to alter number dialed
  • Symptoms: Within the Teams Client, you will directly see if the number you are typing is being transformed with a county prefix or not. If it is transformed, you are missing the following rules
  • Documentation:
  • Solution: use one of the solution below to setup the Dialplan from web interface, or from powershell
  1. Setup from web interface, cf
  2. Or Setup from powershell, cf
  3. Or setup using the Script, cf

  • Solution: Use the command below
  • Impact: Wait a few minutes, and dial again ( type the number, do not call it from history ), you should see that now short numbers are not rewritten anymore with a country prefix

Command used to create the compulsory dialplan for Emergency Numbers and Short Numbers

# Connect to Teams
Connect-MicrosoftTeams

# Create rule for emergency numbers (10-19, 100-199)
$emergencyRule = New-CsVoiceNormalizationRule -Identity "Global/Emergency Numbers" `
    -Pattern '^(1[0-9]|1[0-9]{2})$' `
    -Translation '$1' `
    -Description "Emergency numbers" `
    -InMemory

# Create rule for short numbers (3xxx, 1xxx, 116xxx, 118xxx)
$shortRule = New-CsVoiceNormalizationRule -Identity "Global/Short Numbers" `
    -Pattern '^(3[0-9]{3}|1[0-9]{3}|11[68][0-9]{3})$' `
    -Translation '$1' `
    -Description "Short numbers" `
    -InMemory

# Add rules to Global Dial Plan
Set-CsTenantDialPlan -Identity "Global" -NormalizationRules @{Add=$emergencyRule,$shortRule}

# Verify rules have been created
Get-CsTenantDialPlan -Identity "Global" | Select-Object Identity, NormalizationRules | Format-List



Command to verify the Dialplan

PS C:\Users\mlr> Get-CsTenantDialPlan -Identity "Global" | Select-Object Identity, NormalizationRules | Format-List


Identity           : Global
NormalizationRules : {Description=Emergency numbers;Pattern=^(1[0-9]|1[0-9]{2})$;Translation=$1;Name=Emergency
                     Numbers;IsInternalExtension=False, Description=Short
                     numbers;Pattern=^(3[0-9]{3}|1[0-9]{3}|11[68][0-9]{3})$;Translation=$1;Name=Short
                     Numbers;IsInternalExtension=False}


Command that can be used to delete all DialPlan Rule

# Delete all normalization rules from Global Dial Plan
Set-CsTenantDialPlan -Identity "Global" -NormalizationRules @()

Number Mapping : Assign/Unassign numbers to Microsoft accounts[edit | edit source]

Now you will need to assign a number and a routing plan to each user with a "Microsoft 365 Phone System" license. You can use one of the following options to do it

  • Using a Powershell Script that will ask you questions
  • Manually in Powershell


Assign/Unassign numbers using a VTX Powershell Script VTX_Teams_Assign_Numbers.ps1[edit | edit source]

  1. Download https://wiki.vtx.ch/media/VTX_Teams_Assign_Numbers.ps1 on your computer ( Right Click on the link / Download )
  2. Open it with Wordpad and use Ctrl-s to save it again ( to inform the system that it is local script )
  3. Execute it on your PC : It will ask you for these parameters and create the routing
    1. VTX Teams Domain : ex: 123456.teams.ipvoip.ch
    2. Your MS Admin Credentials for : ex: admin@MSDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com
    3. The MS Team user email : ex: first.last@MSDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com
    4. The Telephone number you wish to set : ex: +41225661234 / or leave string empty to unassign number from user


Here is a list of screenshots to see how the script works

Teams Assignment - 1st Warning - Is routing OK ?
Teams Assignment - Enter the Teams Domain Provided by VTX
Teams Assignment - Enter Teams Admin email
Teams Assignment - Enter Teams User Email
Teams Assignment - Enter Teams User Phone Number or use empty string to remove the number
Teams Assignment - Disable voicemail on the user ?
Teams Assignment - Setup another user ?
