Thanks very much everybody who contributed their thoughts. I would try to get some DID's so that each physical location can be identified by 911 call Center.

Re: [asterisk-users] 911, location
The idea behind the OP was that the caller was a "man down" who couldn't speak to 911, just dial the number. You could always change wait to waitexten and make an exten to "break the loop" if you were able to talk. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Leif Neland Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 2:47 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] 911, location Den 29-01-2010 19:38, Danny Nicholas skrev: > This might help > - exten => _911,1,Set(IMAT=EXTEN) > - exten => _911,2,Set(IMAT=CUT(IMAT|\/|2) > - exten => _911,3,Dial(DAHDI/1,w911) > - exten => _911,4(keepup),Background(emergencyin${IMAT}) > - exten => _911,5,wait(10) > - exten => _911,6,Goto(keepup) > > This would repeat the message every 10 seconds... > -- > > This would prevent the caller talking to the 911-operator, wouldn't it?
