Notifying a digital pager of an
emergency
You also have the option of having your emergency calls go to a digital pager.
When someone dials an emergency number (for example, 911), the system sends
the extension and location (that originated the emergency call) to the administered
pager.
Before you start
■ You need to administer a CRSS-ALRT button on at least one of the following.
— Attendant Console (use the
change attendant command)

change station command)
■ The ARS Digit Analysis Table must have emergency numbers in the Call
Type column set to
alrt (crisis alert).
■ You need a digital numeric pager.
■ You need one of the following circuit packs:
— Call Classifier
— Tone-Clock (with Call Classification and Tone Detection)
