similar to: Asterisk E911?

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 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

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 =>

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 wondering if

Hi, I'm trying to configure 2 parallel sip trunks between 2 boxes. However I seem to have 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]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can Asterisks properly handle outbound Enhanced 911? Blake

I have a question, we have some locations were I'm just planning on putting in a PRI, management also wants analog lines incase the PRI is down and someone calls 911. Is there a way to use asterisk to seize a phone line from the fax machine? I don't want to have to have an analog line that only gets used in the very rare situation with the PRI being down and someone needed to dial 911

Arrggghh. Tearing my hair out here. I'm trying to set up the spa3000 in the UK for my home, and want * to control the dial plan I've googled to no avail. I've read the manual to no avail. Can someone, please let me know what the parameters is the spa and * are to a) receive a call from the pstn b) make a call to the pstn from the phone attached I can make sip to sip calls (i.e. I

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

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

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

Hello, I'm looking to connect Asterisk with three (four in the future) PSTN lines, and would like to get some opinions on the TDM400 Digium card, vs. sip gateways like the Mediatrix 1204, vs. other hardware solutions I'm not yet aware of. I need the ability to prioritize which PSTN lines are used for outgoing calls (I understand this can be done with the Mediatrix --

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, all I am trying to figure out how to forward incoming PSTN call on SPA3000 to VoIP extension(s). Basically, I have converted my home to VoIP. I have normal phone (connected to SPA3000) and couple of IP phones. All call coming from VoIP DID do ring all phones (analogue via SPA3000 and IP ones). Now I need to do same thing for incoming PSTN calls. I have enabled gateway function in SPA3000 and
