I have attached patches to http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XECS-845
which create an auth plugin which will generate an alarm when an
emergency dial rule is matched.

This is really only a first step towards a rich emergency notification
system.  An alarm is likely not sent to the front desk, ERT staff, etc -
it would usually go to a system admin or an IT person.  However it seems
like a reasonable first step.  

The alarm will only fire if an emergency rule is matched.  If the phone
is configured to send emergency calls straight through, then there is
obviously nothing sipx can do.  And if the call goes out through some
other rule type, no alarm would be raised.  It would be the system
admin's responsibility to be sure that an emergency rule is properly
configured.

The alarm includes the SIP user and contact address of the caller.  That
is what is easily picked out of the message.  e.g. SPX00012:"Emergency
dial rule 'cb emerg rule 2 (emerg rule 2 description)' was invoked by
'<sip:[email protected]>' contact
sip:[email protected]:5060;x-sipX-nonat"

Please comment on the patches or the approach.  I would like some
sipXconfig people to look at the second patch, which generates a new
emergencyrules.xml file.

Thanks,
Carolyn
