During the course of a conversation with an member of the IT group who handles the E911 center for our county, I learned that all of the county's E911 is voip based. This got me to wondering why we could not just configure up a SIP or some such trunk directly to the E911 center to handle our emergency traffic. The county seems interested in exploring the possibility. So I'm w...

...ve the problem that when making a call from Box 2 to Box 1, it sometimes says authentication failed because it is using the username of the other trunk. Here's my configuration: Box 1: [dp-dp2] type=peer username=dp-dp2 secret=mysecret qualify=yes host=box.2.ip.address context=from-internal [e911-dp2] context=from-pstn host=box.2.ip.address qualify=yes secret=mysecret2 type=peer username=e911-dp2 Box 2: [dp-dp2] host=box.1.ip.address qualify=yes type=peer username=dp-dp2 secret=mysecret context=from-pstn [e911-dp2] context=from-internal host=box.1.ip.address qualify=yes secret=mysecret2...

Hi, We've got a dedicated T1 with two trunks running into our ILECs selective router for 911. Split out of the T1 into two MF CAMA trunks on ILEC side. I'm trying to use asterisks e911 signaling, but I'm having trouble with the dial command. (== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:1/0/0)) I'm missing something and I'm thinking it has to do with the hookstate of the dahdi channel. If anyone has a similar situation and want to provide some guidance, I'...

Does anyone have any experience with any SIP or IAX providers that support E911? I'd love to convert entirely to Asterisk at my house, but the lack of emergency dialing has been a major hold-up for me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! -- Kyle Sexton

Ok, So... we've been looking at Intrado as a solution for national E911. They claim to be able to offer FCC compliant E911 services for VoIP companies. However, as I look into things further, they don't seem to have links to all the PSAPs for E911. Now, I understand if the PSAP is not capable of receiving E911 information, the VoIP provider is under no obligati...

How exactly does Asterisk provide E911 service??

One of my providers has a different SIP account for each number. I have all of my users in one outbound context (caller ID passes fine). How do I ensure that the callers get routed down their correct SIP account with my provider for e911 purposes without each having their own context? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can Asterisks properly handle outbound Enhanced 911? Blake

http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=73943&site=lightreading I know e911 has been discussed on ths list before, but I just read this and it got me thinking that if you have a Wholesale VoIP carrier - wouldn't they have to pass e911 on to you as a VoIP provider to, in turn, pass on to your end-users? Of course there would be a fee - just wondering if this is how the...

I have a client that would like to use asterisk to link their multiples locations together. However, if a person in the remote office dials 911, How can the 911 operator determine WHERE the emergency is?? Since all calss would be going out of the PRI in the main location, the police/fire trucks will show up at our COLO!! I know that there are some that are doing this multi site setup, how did

We were able to solve the below problem. I'll post it in case someone encounters the same issue. No need to respond or even read unless you see a better way. Thanks - John We have manually set callerID on our outbound lines to reflect the appropriate DID both for e911 and to be polite to folks we call, e.g.: exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=5197546340) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Goto(outbound-US,${EXTEN},1) This is working perfectly fine (numbers changed to protect the innocent!) until someone forwards their phone. When someone calls in for them,...

...rq, and they say they can see the call come in and send: KP-911-ST and then KP-0-911-ST rather then KP-0-ANI-ST I turned on all the debug and logging that I could and still can't tell exactly what it is sending to them. My question is has any one had this issue, is anyone else even using the e911, and if so how do you have it set up? I'll post my relevant configs below: ZAPTEL.conf ======================= #Sangoma A102 port 2 [slot:11 bus:1 span: 2] span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs e&m=25-48 ======================= ZAPATA.conf ======================= ;911 group group = 2 restrictcid=yes signa...

Central business location has a PRI with a CLEC. Remote offices access the PRI for all voice traffic via VoIP. How does one get the telco to report the address of a remote office to the 911 call center when the call is made from that respective location?

Does anyone have any experience getting inbound ANI information from a CAMA/MF/E&M Wink trunk on Asterisk? Is this only do-able with a PRI interface? Any information would be helpful.

I have 3 analog trunks zap/1, zap/4 and zap/5. zap/5 is the least used line. Would the following work for 911 calls? [e911] exten => 911,1,ChanIsAvail(Zap/1) exten => 911,2,Dial(Zap/1/911) exten => 911,3,Hangup() exten => 911,102,ChanIsAvail(Zap/4) exten => 911,103,Dial(Zap/4/911) exten => 911,104,Hangup() exten => 911,203,ChanIsAvail(Zap/5) exten => 911,204,Dial(Zap/5/911) exten => 911,20...

Greetings to all, Can anyone think of a reason that a Softphone would not be compatible with the F.C.C's order for E911? If the user is able to update their address when they move their laptop, etc.

I believe the 911 is a serious issue if one does an asterisk installation in an office. How do you test 911? Won't 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 emergency comes up (like someone got seriously injured) and on top of that asterisk crashed all of a sudden

Hi Folks, I want to setup a follow me routine so that asterisk can call me on the multiple numbers. I tried some of the samples at voip-info but there is a problem with those examples. I dont have coverage in my home area and my cell phone answering machine picks up the phone right away so my home phone never rings. I also want the caller to be able to leave a voicemail and the cell phone

I called bandwidth.com to buy a sip line from them for $30 a month. But they said they will not sell me a sip line since the address on the account is Citrus Heights CA and they can not provide services in that area. On asking further the person clarified that there is no e911 service available in the 916 area code for bandwidth.com But other providers like www.broadvoice.com are able to provide us VOIP services in the 916 area code. I am wondering how can I get the bandwidth.com service, Thanks, Vikas

Hi, We have been using Voxbone for some time for origination, and they now offer E911 services.? We are trying to set this up and having trouble meeting their authentication requirements. I setup a peer as I normally would, with user/pass as they supplied ("lacoursj", "pass"), but my calls are rejected.? Their support is asking that I follow this auth mechani...
