4. Cloud PBX Calling Options

5. Welcome to the battle of the acronyms!
CCE – Cloud Connector Edition
OPPCH – On Premises PSTN Connection via Hybrid (Deployment)
PSTN – Public Switched Telephony Network
CPC – Cloud PSTN Conferencing
PBX – Private Branch Exchange (telephony box)

6. “It makes the phone ring”
What does this do?
Enables a Cloud Hosted user to make and receive PSTN Calls
“It makes the phone ring”

7. What are my options? Cloud PBX with PSTN Calling service
Consume PSTN Calling directly from the cloud
Available in United States, United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Preview starting for France and Spain
Cloud PBX with on-premises PSTN connectivity
Available worldwide!
Hosts users online, connects via on premises
Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition
Hybrid offering that contains a set of virtualized machines
Expansion of the O365 service to on premises
Cloud managed device
Skype for Business Server existing deployment
Lync 2013 or Skype for Business 2016
Hybrid is required
On premises pool without online services

12. How to Decide?

13. Cloud Connector Edition?

14. High Level Overview

15. CCE Positioning
It is a direct extension of SFBO service, it is NOT a stand alone piece of infrastructure
It must be run as a service and run as part of the service:
99.99% reliability
SFBO controls updating, SFBO Ops can see logs
Admin can configure their site, monitor their site but NOT directly manipulate site
Core Scenarios:
Trial: Simple to Obtain, Setup
Deploy: Simple to Setup, Simple to Migrate to
Use: Simple to Maintain, Operate & Monitor

16. Release History: Release History: V1.34, 04/11/16 First public Release
V1.38, 06/XX/16 Fixed Android client bug
V1.41, 08/15/16 Autoupdate & Service Resiliency
V2.X, 01/2017 customer feedback integration

17. Auto Update?
“It is a direct extension of SFBO service, it is NOT a stand alone piece of infrastructure”
Update schedule can be set via SfB Online Powershell
Update Schedule honors local timezone of host
Disabling auto update is possible but unsupported

18. The elephants in the room…

19. Feature Gaps We are listening to your feedback
Media Bypass
Cloud Dial Plans
Co Existence with existing SfB Pools
Call Routing
Please register at and continue providing feedback

20. Hosted CCE?
CCE is scaled for 70 percent internal traffic, 30 percent external traffic
Hosted CCE means 100 percent external traffic
Current CCE architecture will not be the final one
Updates are NOT optional
Tweaking scripts & adding additional machines is unsupported
CCE does not have API’s and is not MT aware

21. 3rd Party CCE Appliances: Supported?
Yes. By the 3rd party.
There is no 3rd party CCE qualification program
Stand Alone CCE connected to separate SBC will always work

22. Preparing for CCE

23. Cloud Connector (HA) Overview
All Cloud Connector appliances are configured with all PSTN gateways in the Site.
All PSTN gateways have sip trunks defined to all Cloud Connector appliances in the Site.
If Edge server is unavailable, outbound calls will succeed, but inbound calls will fail.

24. Understanding the Concepts
Users are assigned to a single PSTN Site
One or more Cloud Connector(s)are assigned a single PSTN site
Usually, a PSTN Site is a customer location
Non-functioning means failover inside PSTN Site
SfB Online will try to get the failed instance back
Centralizing is not great (think codecs!)

25. What must I do? Verify no Lync or SfB is deployed On Premises
Ready a host with Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
Download and install the CCE MSI
Have your ISO file ready (windows 2012 R2 standard)
Update the host with latest windows updates
Host must be a dedicated machine
All requirements must be met

26. Gathering Information

27. Hardware Requirements
Large (500 calls)
Large (500 calls
64-bit dual processor, six core (12 real cores), 2.50 gigahertz (GHz) or higher
64 gigabytes (GB) ECC RAM

Intel i quad core with Intel 4600 Graphics (no high end graphics needed)
32 GB DDR non ECC
2 1TB 7200RPM SATA III (6 Gbps) in RAID 0
2 1 Gbps Ethernet (RJ45)

28. Office 365 Requirements SfB Online working and deployed
Tenant Admin Access

29. Network Requirements Host must have Internet Access
Virtual Machines must have access to windows update OR local WSUS server
4 internal IP addresses
1 external IP Address
1 public certificate for Edge
Correct ports must be opened
More info on

30. Installing CCE

31. Installation first steps
Use set-ccappliancedirectory to set local install folder
Use set-ccsitedirectory to set file share for HA deployment
Use set-ccexternalcertificatefilepath for the public certificate
Use Export-CConfigurationSampleFile and edit file
Use start-CCdownload to initiate download of bits
Create internal virtual switch “SfB CCE Corpnet Switch”
Create external virtual switch “SfB CCE Internet Switch”

32. During the download.. Connect to SfB Online Powershell Run
Set-cstenanthybridconfiguration -tenant < TENANT ID > -useonpremdialplan $false
Set-CsTenantHybridConfiguration -PeerDestination <External Access Edge FQDN> -UseOnPremDialPlan $false
Set-CsTenantFederationConfiguration -SharedSipAddressSpace $True
For users:
Set-CsUser -Identity "<User name>" -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -HostedVoic $true -OnPremLineURI <tel:+phonenumber>

33. Prepare the Template File
Run
Convert-CcIsoToVhdx -IsoFilePath <Windows ISO File Path, including file name>
this can take up to 5 hours
Uses the template machine IP

34. Register and Install On the host server; Register-CcAppliance
Multiple hosts in PSTN Site?
On the second, third and fourth run
Publish-CCAppliance
On all
Install-CCappliance

35. Multiple PSTN Sites? 4 Cloud Connectors per PSTN Site
1500 concurrent calls per site
N-1
Multiple site considerations
edge pool names must be identical within a PSTN site, different between PSTN Sites
Each PSTN site must have a unique site name in the configuration file
Users must be assigned to a PSTN site if more PSTN Sites are deployed

36. Multiple PSTN Sites Cmdlets
Creating a new PSTN site
New-CsHybridPstnSite -Identity <PSTN Site Name> -EdgeFqdn <External Access Edge FQDN>
Getting an overview of PSTN Sites
Get-CsHybridPstnSite
Updating a PSTN Site
Set-CsHybridPstnSite -Identity <PSTN Site Name> -EdgeFqdn <External Access Edge FQDN>
Removing a PSTN Site
Remove-CsHybridPstnSite -Identity <PSTN Site Name>
