Problem
While setting a new new gateway for a client to pilot an upstream topology, I ran into a problem during the initial setup where all of test calls we send out to the gateway fails with the trace error: SIP/2.0 488 Not Acceptable Here as shown in the following snooper screenshot:
The following is the copied and pasted output from the snooper logs:
TL_INFO(TF_PROTOCOL) [2]3E40.3564::03/15/2011-19:01:21.136.0013aac7 (S4,SipMessage.DataLoggingHelper:sipmessage.cs(686))[613569537]

Solutions
What ended up being the problem was that we initially wanted to use TLS but because we had problems importing the certificate for the gateway, we ended up configuring the connection between the Mediation server (collocated with the front-end server) and the gateway (NET UX2000) as TCP with no encryption. What we forgot to do was to change the media list of the gateway to not use Crypto as shown in the following lists and screenshots:
Media List:
- Default Media List
- OCS to PSTN: UC Media List w/Crypto
- Lync PSTN: UC Media List w/Crypto
Media List:
- Default Media List
- OCS to PSTN: UC Media List w/Crypto
- Lync PSTN: UC Media List w/Crypto
As soon as we changed all of the media lists to Default Media List in the gateway configuration, the calls outbound to the PSTN network started to work. As this can probably happen to any gateway vendor, if you encounter the error SIP/2.0 488 Not Acceptable Here in your front-end traces, have a look at the media list for the signally groups and call routing tables of your gateway.

Terence, thanks for such a good post. I have similar problem. I have a collocated FE/Mediation server. This server has got two Ethernet cards. The first connects to iscsi boot. And the second connects to my LAN. I have enable TCP on the mediation side and add a gateway to listen on TCP port 5060. I have done all I can but outbound call does not work. When I do an out bound test call, I get this error message:
10061, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 10.10.10.10:5061
I have read on the internet and tried all what others suggested, but to no avail. I will be so glad if you can help me and point me to the right direction.
Hi,
What I've found useful for further troubleshooting is to use Network Monitor or Wireshark to try and capture more information. Have you tried using those tools to do packet captures for more analysis?
Great post. I still haven't come across anyone with the problem we are facing.
Environment is Merged Topology (OCS R2 Edge server handles all external connectivity). All calls (PC-to-CX600 phones, PSTN)fails at first attempt and connects when redialled.
Great Post. We are facing a peculiar issue. All calls initiated from PC to Lync phones (CX600)fail at first attempt and connects once redialled.
Any tips
Hi Idris,
I remember coming across a similar problem in the past with OCS 2007 R1 or R2 but I can't remember how I fixed it. Your best bet at this point is to use Snooper to do a trace and review the call setup and tear down to see if it sheds anymore insight as to why this is happening.
Thanks Terence.
Wonderful blog & good post.Its really helpful for me, awaiting for more new post. Keep
Blogging!
I almost never leave a response, but I read a few of the
remarks on this page "Outbound calls to gateway through Lync Server 2010 front-end fails with server trace error: "SIP/2.0
488 Not Acceptable Here" error.". I do have a couple of questions for you
if you don't mind. Is it only me or does
it look like some of the responses come across
like they are coming from brain dead people?
😛 And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I'd like to keep
up with everything new you have to post.
Could you list of all of all your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook
page or twitter feed?

Terence, thank you for your post. It helped me sort out an issue I came across when taking over a project from another vendor from my customer.
