The emergency location extension for this station. Accepts up to sixteen digits. Allows the system to properly identify the location of a caller who dials a 911 emergency call from this station. An entry in this field must be of an extension type included in the dial plan, but does not have to be an extension on the local system. It can be a Uniform Dial Plan (UDP) extension. A blank entry is typically used for an IP softphone dialing in through PPP from somewhere outside the network.
For administered emergency numbers, the feature functions as follows:
If the emergency location extension administered on the station screen is the same as the emergency location extension administered on the IP Address Mapping screen, the feature sends the station's own extension to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
If the emergency location extension for the station is different from the emergency location extension administered here, the feature sends the extension administered here to the PSAP.
Caution:
On the ARS Digit Analysis Table, administer 911 to be call type emer or alrt in order for the E911 Emergency feature to work properly.
