similar to: 911, networks of * servers, etc. (was: VOIP Dialtone?)

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

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

Can Asterisks properly handle outbound Enhanced 911? Blake

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

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 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

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

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

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/

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.

Has anyone had any experience using asterisk for a 911 call center? Does anyone know of any reason why it would not be suitable? As far as I know all 911 call routing takes place at the CO switch so a regular T1 line should work fine. I understand that there is support for ACD in asterisk and that is should be possible to implement screen pop (CTI). Any comments? Gene Kochanowsky Solution

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.

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 obligation to provide it.

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?

I just set up a t1 with 2 camma mf 911 trunks on it, and I am having a issue with it. We can call 911 which is routed out these new trunks, and it goes to the 911 center, but they are not getting the ANI and hence "no record found". Our LEC is Embarq, 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
