Hi there, I am running a PBX under asterisk 1.6. I have few FXO analogue lines connecting to PSTN. These lines are in a hunt group. I trying to make my extensions to dial 91, but this is a bit scary, I mean if somebody make an emergency call after hours and without completing call is not able to tell his/her location. How can I make 911 call center to know the exact location of my extension. I think its possible by having DID's but I am looking for other options too. I would appreciate your valuable ideas and suggestions. Thanks in advance Shahnawaz

Are you saying that these lines are located in a different location?

Hi Shahnawaz Have you considered how you are going to address location issue for Mobile users calling 911. You should think of SS7 MAP/TCAP to atleast know their Cell ID Regards Sam> Thanks very much everybody who contributed their thoughts. I would tryto get some DID's so that each physical location can be identified by 911 call Center.> > Regards > > Shahnawaz > > On 2010-01-29, at 2:41 PM, Kevin P.
