Technical Requirements

For this chapter, you need access to the Microsoft Teams admin center, which you can reach at https://admin.teams.microsoft.com. You will also need the Global Administrator, Teams Service Administrator, or Teams Communications Administrator role to complete the steps provided in this chapter.

Calculating Network Bandwidth Capacity for Teams Voice, Video, Meetings, and Town Halls

Before diving into the technical assessment of your network’s preparedness for a Microsoft Teams deployment, it is essential to recognize the value Microsoft Teams will bring to your organization.

Beyond its core functionalities, Teams offers unique advantages tailored to various organizational needs:

  • For educational institutions: Teams integrates seamlessly with educational tools such as OneNote class notebooks and assignments, providing a virtual classroom environment where educators can distribute coursework, conduct assessments, and collaborate in real time with students, all within a single platform.
  • In healthcare: Microsoft Teams enables secure messaging, video meetings, and file sharing that comply with healthcare regulations such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Hospitals and clinics can use Teams for telehealth consultations, multidisciplinary...

Analyzing Network Impact Using Network Planner

When you wish to identify your organization’s network requirements for Microsoft Teams, you should use the Network Planner tool. This section introduces you to Network Planner and shows you how to use it to plan for your Teams deployment.

Network Planner can be found in the Microsoft Teams admin center and is used to calculate and plan your organization’s network requirements for connecting to Microsoft Teams. Once you provide the details relating to your organization’s network, as well as your anticipated usage of Teams, Network Planner calculates network requirements for you to successfully deploy Teams to your business locations.

Network Planner works using personas that you create that represent your specific Teams usage scenario. You can, alternatively, use some preconfigured, generic personas provided by Microsoft. Running these persona exercises enables you to extract reports that guide you on your optimal...

Specifying Required Network Ports and Protocols for Microsoft Teams

Now that you have an idea of Teams bandwidth requirements and how to use Network Planner for your Microsoft Teams deployment, you need to learn which network ports and protocols on your organization’s firewalls are required to ensure that Teams features work as expected.

UDP ports 3478 through 3481 for IP address ranges of 13.107.64.0/18, 52.112.0.0/14, and 52.122.0.0/15, along with the 2603:1063::/38 IPv6 range, must be opened at all your business locations for Teams media requirements, ensuring seamless audio and video communications across your organization. You can view an extensive list of additional endpoints used by Microsoft 365 for various workloads at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges.

Next, you will look at configuring an optimal network architecture for Teams by reviewing topics such as the WAN optimizer, proxy, and load-balancer options for...

Specifying Optimal Network Architecture for Teams

Creating an optimal network architecture for Microsoft Teams requires careful planning and implementation. As a Teams Administrator, your goal is to ensure a seamless and efficient communication environment for your organization. This involves not only addressing the basics of network setup but also diving deeper into network optimization strategies that cater specifically to the unique demands of Microsoft Teams.

You will now delve into the key areas to focus on to optimize your network for Teams.

Content Delivery Network Utilization

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) can significantly enhance the Microsoft Teams experience by efficiently distributing content, reducing network consumption, and accelerating the delivery of Teams meeting content. By leveraging Azure CDN, which integrates directly with Microsoft 365 services including Teams, content is cached closer to end users. This minimizes latency and optimizes performance...

Assessing Network Readiness and Connectivity

Now that your network is optimally configured, you can test its efficiency. Microsoft offers the Microsoft 365 network connectivity test to help administrators evaluate network readiness for Teams. This tool, accessible via https://connectivity.office.com, provides insights into the quality of network connectivity by comparing it to benchmarks from other local customers. It is straightforward to use and delivers immediate feedback on network performance. For comprehensive analysis, including advanced tests and detailed outcomes, running this tool on a Windows computer is recommended. This step is crucial for ensuring that your network is adequately prepared for optimal Teams functionality.

The Microsoft 365 network connectivity test dashboard is shown in Figure 1.31.

Figure 1.30: Microsoft 365 network connectivity test

Figure 1.31: Microsoft 365 network connectivity test

Note that you can opt for the test to automatically detect your location, or you can manually...

Summary

In this chapter, you learned the steps for assessing your network readiness for a Microsoft Teams deployment. You understood what the network and bandwidth requirements are, and how to analyze your network for readiness with Network Planner. You also examined several ports and protocols that need to be configured on your network to allow Microsoft Teams to work. Finally, you explored optimal network architecture principles, including topics such as implementing a CDN and QoS to ensure your users get the best experience when interacting with Teams media types and experiences such as audio, video, and screen sharing.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
