3. Configure call routing

Call routing is made up of the following elements:

Call routing policy

Also called a Voice Routing policy. A container for PSTN usages, which can be assigned to a user or to multiple users. Sample Call routing policy names include:

  • US Only

  • US Global

  • Germany Only

  • Germany Global

  • Internal

PSTN usages

A container for voice routes and PSTN usages, which can be shared in different voice routing policies. Sample PSTN usage names include:

  • US-Emergency

  • US-LD

  • US-INTL

  • Company-Internal

Voice routes

A number pattern and set of online PSTN gateways for calls where the calling number matches the pattern. In the examples below, the Internal voice routes represent routes to company-managed third-party PBXs used by employees that have not yet migrated to MS Teams. Sample Voice route names and their associated dialed number patterninclude:

  • US Emergency ^933$

  • US LD e164 ^+1[2-9]\d{2}[2-9]\d{6}$

  • US INTL e164 ^+[2-9]\d+$

  • Reston Internal ^+170355512\d{2}$

  • Chicago Internal ^+13125556[43]\d{2}$

Online PSTN gateway

This is a pointer to the Peeredge SBC that also stores the configuration which is applied when a call is placed through the SBC, such as forward P-Asserted-Identity (PAI) or Preferred Codecs. The pointer can be added to voice routes.

Two examples (from Microsoft) of voice routing policies in a call flow.

In the following example, we create four PSTN usage records. We suggest admins use easy-to-understand names representing the types of calls a user is allowed to dial. Using the Microsoft Teams admin center:

  1. Go to Voice -> Direct Routing.

  3. Click + Add and enter the name of the PSTN usage record.

  3. Click the Add button.

  4. Add the name Non-Emergency Test in the voice route in the Add a name for your voice route field.

  6. Make sure the Dialed number pattern is ^933$.

  7. Click the Add SBCs button and select your Peeredge SBCs and then click Apply.

  8. Click the ADD PSTN usage button and select the US-Emergency PSTN Usage and then click Apply.

  9. Click Save.

  10. Repeat steps 3 – 9 for any other voice routes using an appropriate priority and PSTN Usage. When overlapping dialed number patterns exist, give the more specific pattern higher priority.

  3. Click the Assign button.

  4. In the Manage user search box, search for the user and click add when found.
