Emergency Location Ext
The Emergency Location Ext field defaults to the phone’s extension. This
extension is the starting point for identifying the street address or nearby location
when an emergency call is made. The entry in this field is manipulated by
‘‘CAMA Numbering Format’’ before being sent over CAMA trunks; or similarly
by ‘‘ISDN Numbering — Public/ Unknown’’ before being sent over ISDN trunks.
IP Audio Hairpinning
Allows IP endpoints to be connected through the IP circuit pack on the switch.
IP Emergency calls
This field tells the switch how to handle emergency calls from the SoftConsole IP
Attendant. This field appears when the Port field is set to
ip on the Attendant
Console screen.
!
CAUTION:
An Avaya IP endpoint can dial emergency calls (for example, 911 calls in the
U.S.). It only reaches the local emergency service in the Public Safety
Answering Point area where the telephone system has local trunks. Please
be advised that an Avaya IP endpoint cannot dial to and connect with local
emergency service when dialing from remote locations that do not have local
trunks. You should not use an Avaya IP endpoint to dial emergency numbers
for emergency services when dialing from remote locations. Avaya Inc. is not
responsible or liable for any damages resulting from misplaced emergency
calls made from an Avaya endpoint. Your use of this product indicates that
you have read this advisory and agree to use an alternative telephone to dial
all emergency calls from remote locations.
