18. Every call can be sent to an all encompassing route (think *.*) Easier to manage and troubleshoot, especially in large deployments CON Can’t leverage several Lync features No least cost routing Can’t limit calling or call forwarding for users

19. Very granular routing/call control possibilities Least-cost routing CON It’s….ummm…it’s complicated Many routes/PSTN usages Can be difficult to troubleshoot

23. Normalize to E.164, using the main office number for the location as the base: +12125551234;ext=2345 Strip back down to 2345 as the call leaves Lync Most normalization rules are the same countrywide, so consider that in your naming convention UK-London-Local UK-National UK-International Doing so will mean not normalizing to E.164 Use the External Access Prefix option instead

31. Use site-level policies by default Automatically assigned to all users homed on Lync servers within a site Assign the most typical call classes to capture the most users (ie. Local and National PSTN Usages) Example: Assign a site- level National voice policy for users who don’t require international dialing Use user-level policies for exceptions Manually assigned via Lync Control Panel or Powershell Assign additional or remove call classes for smaller groups of users (ie. International PSTN Usage) Example: Assign a user-level International policy to executives and others that require international dialing

47. Easier to deal with routing and trunk translation when everything follows same standard Extremely important when migrating away from PBX to Lync Scenario: Normalization/routing rules created specifically for PBX extensions 2xxx normalized to 2xxx (not E.164) Lync migrated users configured with E.164 Tel URIs tel:+12125551111;ext=2xxx Original extension scheme maintained How to dial Lync user by extension? Normalization becomes a nightmare Need to create user-specific normalization rules for every migrated user

48. Use a normalization rule to map the main number to an extension (E.164 format, of course) When creating auto- attendant or response group extensions, make sure to follow E.164 standards
