How to configure Cloud Connector Edition with Cloud PBX - Office 365 (Sonus Cloud Link)

It is published in Technet:
#The How-To Guide for Cloud PBX in Office 365 Skype for Business Online with Sonus Cloud Link

This how-to guide is written in technical level 200 for Pre-Sales Consultant and the second half reaches leave 400 for Office 365, Sonus Cloud Link CCE Appliance and the Session Boarder Controller.
We start from the Pre-Sales consulting process and the associated arguments. The Pre-Sales and Consultants will learn how the Cloud Connector Edition is working, technical deep drive inside CCE and last but not least the configuration of Office 365 Skype for Business Online and the wizard based CCE installation. Followed by a common scenario with Cloud PBX and multiple sites across different regions.
Second topic is a direct SIP connection to 3rd party on-premises applications (e.g. Contact Center, local PBX or others). Here we focus on the locally hosted Contact Center. 
The question might be asked, “How can we use different CCE sites with different PSTN breakouts assigned?” The answer is, by utilizing a simple two-site deployment that allows replicating the configuration to larger designs with N-Sites.
For the examples that follow, there will be two locations. The first in Munich, Germany, and the other in London, UK. Both sites have their own dedicated PSTN breakout. It will not matter if the connection to the PSTN gateway is via an ISDN/PRI, or an SIP Trunk line. However, there can be a PBX behind the local site gateway.
If Media Bypass is not available, the user can connect to the customer’s LAN, and the connection to the Mediation Server can be direct if firewall rules allow this path. In this scenario, the users connect over the Internet.
PSTN-based calls can generally flow in two directions, from PSTN -> Cloud PBX user, or from the Cloud PBX user -> PSTN. The simplest call flow is the incoming call from PSTN -> Cloud PBX.
Every CCE has a direct connection/path to the Microsoft Office 365 Skype for Business online platform. Therefore, every incoming call will be signalized to the Cloud PBX directly. There are no other logical or technical considerations.

Cannot join external Lync Meeting: Lync Edge Server Single IP Address (Lync Edge Server Single IP Web Conferenceing Problem)

Lync Edge Server FQDN and IP PORTS (Version 1.2, Update 26.11.2014) As we all know, we can configure Lync Edge Server in several way. 1) Single Edge Server with a SINGLE IP ADDRESS 2) Single Edge Server with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (3x IPs) 3) Multiple Edge Server in a Pool, with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (Zx 3 IPs) Regardless what we are going to configure, there are common / well-known TCP Port necessary making Lync work, which are: Access: Port: 443 and 5061 Conferencing: Port: 443 and (444) AV: Port: 443 (I have not listed other ports, e.g. STUN or the dynamic port range. This is not required for the topic discussed here) External FQDN with single IP address: What can we see here? If we are going to choose a single IP address, we would have TCP Port overlapping. Therefore the only way avoiding this is assigning other ports. Additionally we will also see and are reminded that Lync highly depends on DNS. If we have single IP, we must have use single, unique FQDN fo

There is an update regarding MFA Multi Factor Authentication. If you are guest with a different Tenant, the MFA Settings are now reflecting the settings of all tenants in a different way. Each MFA setting is reflected and you can setup your MFA device as per tenant and the admin settings allow. Login to your Profile in Office 365/ Azure AD: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r/#/profile or https://myapps.microsoft.com Go to your PROFILE: Sign in to https://myapps.microsoft.com Select your account name in the top right, then select profile. Select Additional security verification. If might be happen, your admin hast configured MFA, so you wouldn't see this menu.

Skype for Business, Lync and Exchange Web Services (EWS) and different DNS Domains- Exchange crawling e.g. for presence

Hi all, (This is an updated version 2.2: 09 .07.201 5 ) This blog entry is valid for Lync 2010, Lync 2013 and Skype for Business Server. Generally, I'll write a new blog article, since the conversion history over multiple device and other service have change with Skype for Business 2015 Server. Once this written, I post the link here. there is always confusion in how Lync is crawling Exchange Web Services (EWS). Generally it is necessary to understand how DNS must be implemented: Just remember, identify if you have DNS Split configuration, different internal and external DNS names and what are your SMTP and SIP Domains. Very often you find in Lync/ Exchange deployments an issue, where the Lync configuration show up with empty: EWS Internal URL EWS External URL and EWS Information = EWS not deployed Therefor Exchange Web Service are not connected deployed and several Lync Integration Features are not working, e.g. Presence Information based on your Outlook Calendar.
