• LBR is enforced for specific users by turning on 'Prevent toll bypass and send calls through the PSTN' in the calling policy assigned to them (the PreventTollBypass setting of the Teams calling policy). in context
• Microsoft's enable article assumes Direct Routing is already deployed and network regions, sites and subnets are already configured before LBR is enabled. in context
• Microsoft says not to enable LBR on gateways that don't route calls to the PSTN (such as gateways to PBX systems), but those gateways must still be associated with the network site where the system is located so restrictions apply to PSTN calls reaching endpoints behind them. in context
• In PowerShell, LBR is enabled on a gateway with Set-CsOnlinePSTNGateway -Identity <gateway> -GatewaySiteLbrEnabled $true -GatewaySiteID <site ID>, which also associates the gateway with its network site. in context
• In PowerShell, LBR is enabled on a network site with Set-CsTenantNetworkSite -Identity <site ID> -EnableLocationBasedRouting $true. in context
• In the Teams admin center, LBR is turned on for a gateway under Voice > Direct Routing > SBCs by editing the SBC, turning on 'Enable location based routing' under 'Location based routing and media optimization', and specifying the gateway site ID and bypass mode. in context
• In the Teams admin center, LBR is turned on for a network site under Locations > Network topology by editing the site and turning on 'Location based routing'. in context
