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

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

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/

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

Can Asterisks properly handle outbound Enhanced 911? Blake

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Greetings, We are currently testing a Sipura SPA-3000 as a gateway from our Asterisk system to a PSTN line for 911 access. We have a number of locations and want to place an SPA-3000 in each, connected to a PSTN line that will provide the correct ANI/ALI information to 911 for each location. It all works great, except for a reasonably significant (4 seconds) delay between when the SPA-3000

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

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
