Step 3: Deploy Load Balancers

We will skip this section as we only have one server in our pool.

When using this remember we must use Hardware load balancers and not Windows Software NLB (Network Load Balancers).

Teams Device Health Monitoring and Reporting

By -

 Microsoft have snuck in a nice new feature into the Teams Admin Center (TAC). We now see a new Notifications and Alerts  menu tree and below this Rules. When we go in here, we find only a single Default  Device State Rule with no option to create any new rules (yet at least...) When we edit this rule, we can see that we now have an option to monitor specific devices (think meeting room devices, collaboration bars etc.. here) Under Device users  we click on +ADD  then enter the name of the account, or accounts if you are monitoring multiple devices, associated with the device, such as the resource account. Then under Actions  we can choose either Channel alert  - to have a nice alert sent to our Teams Channel   OR Webhook  to use webhooks for alerting. Finally ensure to select Active  then Save. Once set up this will take maybe 15 mins to replicate and set up. Then once a device has gone offline, the alert will be sent "Immediately", how...

Unassigned Numbers in Microsoft Teams using Audiocodes SBC

By -

Unlike Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams does not natively support the handling of Unassigned numbers in the system. So if someone leaves your organisation and you remove the number from them and someone tries to call it, the call will drop. Technically, Teams will return a "404 Not Found" back to the SBC and back on to the telco. What we can do here is to then assign the 404 error to a Route, change the Destination Number (to a call queue or to your main Reception number for example) and route it back to Teams. To do this there are a few simple steps: Step 1 – Create an Alternative Reasons Set Step 2 – Configure existing Teams IP Group to use the SBC Alternative Routing Reason Set Step 3 - Create new IPG Step 4 – Create a new route in IP-to-IP Routing Step 5 - Manipulate Numbers Step 6 – Test  Step 1 – Create an Alternative Reasons Set The first thing we need to do is create an " Alternative Routing Set ", we find this under Setup >> Signaling & Media ...

SIP port on Checkpoint firewalls

So here is another issue I have come across twice this week alone. When setting up the TCP 5061 rules on firewalls between DMZ Internal and LAN on Checkpoint Firewalls, the default SIP rule being chosen by admins is SIP_TLS_AUTHENTICATION. However while a simple telnet will work between the servers (it may take 7-8 seconds extra) and it will look like it works but no logs in the Logger or errors about certificates. What I found is that if you change the rule to SIP_TLS_NOT_INSPECTED this resolved the issue. We could then see traffic coming completely through. Here is some information from checkpoint directly: Source: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R76/CP_R76_VoIP_WebAdmin/87769.htm
