Microsoft Teams Direct Routing – SIP 404 Not Found

My first experience with switching a user from an existing calling plan in Microsoft Teams to Direct Routing did not go as planned. Not at all. I’ll walk you through what I did…and what I did wrong, as googling this particular error didn’t really lead me to the answer!

I seemingly had everything right – I followed the Configure Direct Routing documents to the T, and to switch the user over, I removed their calling plan, and then used powershell to add the ONPREMURI property (aka the user’s phone number) in E.164 format with the tel: prefix to the Teams user. I have the SBC all set up and outbound calls are working fine, yet inbound calls don’t seem to be working, as I’m getting a “404 Not Found” reply to the SBC invites in the SIP traces.

One Year Ago Today: 2020 Philadelphia Auto Show “Black Tie Tailgate”

Shows 2020 Philadelphia Auto Show
2020 Philadelphia Auto Show Black Tie Gala

Hard to believe it was a year ago. It feels like 10 years ago, and on top of that, a bit ironic; for someone that nearly never wore a suit outside of a Wedding or Funeral, to actually wear a suit out to an event. Perhaps it really was a funeral…for events?

Slacking in 2021; a new post and home automation fun

Well, 2020 came and went, and uhh, well, good riddance!

I’ve been slacking over the last few weeks, mostly working and haven’t really messed too much with projects or hobby stuff recently. Personally, I’ve been struggling in the motivation department; I guess seasonal depression on top of the pandemic and everything else isn’t doing me or anyone any favors lately. On a positive note, I *have* done a few things though…
