Thanks, Brett, for the info! I actually /like/ the long winded descriptions. FYI - In some places, the 911 dispatchers are the same people who answer the Sheriff's, Local PD and Fire phone numbers. So, simply calling the Sheriff's Dept. and saying that you just installed a new phone system and

Ok, So maybe too much information for you. 911 is a mystery to most people and regardless if you are a carrier or not this is how it works. Yes, but it's about as useful as telling the guy who is calling in to the cable company to order HBO that the signal arrives through the cable company's

I believe the 911 is a serious issue if one does an asterisk installation in an office. How do you test 911? Wont they arrest you or something for dialing 911 for no reason and talking to one of their agents who could have taken a more important call? On the other hand what an

I defined in my extensions.conf file this... exten = _X11,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN}) then tested it by dialing 411 (information) and 311(nyc info). I think that if these two work for you then its safe to assume 911 works as well without having to test it. On Wednesday 19 January 2005 04:45 pm,

Title: Re: [Asterisk-Users] E911 Testing ! The PBX craging can happen on any system. Most key system don't have UPSs or battery backups. The larger ones do but the smalll 4 x 8 systems usually don't. The best practice would be to install a POTS line and adjust your dialplan to route 911

911 Testing is a very complicated issue. For a clec it typically involves scheduling with them so they will expect your call. Also we frequently use false addresses (that are MSAG resolvable) and some very sophisticated PSAPs even have fake addresses that MSAG resolve to a testing ESN.
