similar to: Using asterisk for a 911 call center....

OK, got a question on 911. Looking into setting up a couple asterisk servers at a country club, with VOIP phones in each of 100 short-term residential rental units. Approx 100 extensions, approx 24 outside lines. Since everything is geographically at one location, reaching 911 correctly shouldn't present a problem. However, the club wishes to ensure that 911 authorities are able to identify

I understand that most VoIP providers allow for 911 calling but that 911 service is not the same as that available to PSTN.

OK, that "VOIP dialtone?" thread was getting really out of hand, so I'll condense my answers into one big ugly message: 1) 911 service. Yes, that is one of three reasons to keep your PSTN line. The other two reasons are: Inbound calls from local callers still should work on a POTS line, for now. You can't find VOIP providers in most area codes, so you'll most

FYI there is a way to do 911 its called E-911 enhanced 911 the user has to set it up with the local emergency services to it and you setup your pbx to xmit the data. Here is the fcc rule about it http://www.fcc.gov/911/enhanced/

Hi, Most companies we work with, have 'designated' crisis management teams. These vary from the insignificant crisis', through to life-threatening crisis'. There is always an assigned emergency services contact, whose job it is in an emergency, to maintain communication with the emergency services. One of our corporate functions is crisis management - so we have to consider

Has anyone used asterisk as a simple voip server? (I'm sure its been/ing done). If so... how did you provide 911 service? Did you setup different contexts and put sip phones in those contexts per county? Also, is it possible to put a phone into multiple contexts? For instance: context=from-internal Can I add a second context like with a , comma? So the phone can have the rules from 2

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

I looked on google for some time and haven't found a source for 9-911 labels to attach to phones. I have run into them in the past but I can't currently find a source. I am looking for a low volume were having them printed up for me would not be economical. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Can Asterisks properly handle outbound Enhanced 911? Blake

To anyone seeking 911 services Highly recommended to everyone to stay away from this issue I do not have a name for the company right off hand, but they got sued really bad when they tried 911 via VOIP and the 911 drop kept occurring in different areas and someone died! Implement 1 single hard wire for this service and cover your tush! Brad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Just curious if any of the Asterisk installers are doing anything special to protect themselves from a possible lawsuit caused by 911 failure during a Asterisk/computer crash? I realize that any traditional PBX or even a phone line can fail but, anything running on a computer is probably going to be less reliable than most PBXs. Anybody requiring customers to acknowledge and sign any kind of

Greetings, This is probably some configuration issue, but for some reason my system has stopped playing a ringing sound when an extension is dialed. The phone rings but there is no ring sound in the ear piece. Gene Kochanowsky

Greetings, I am running Asterisk with a T100P and a Zhone channel bank for over a month now. For the most part it works fine but from time to time (about once a week) the system will not let go of a line and will play the greeting over and over. Anyone calling gets a busy signal. If I reset Asterisk everything works fine. Has anyone seen this problem before and fixed it? If so what did you do?

Hi all, While pondering my choices for local dial tone service via a bunch of POTS lines or a T1, I began to wonder if perhaps there is another way. Are there VoIP dialtone providers? That is, could I use only my internet connection for voice calls and not have a separate T1/POTS bank for that? I guess I am imagining a company that gateways between the PTSN and the internet backbone.
