[cisco-voip] Quick Question About 911 Policy - Please Respond-Quick Response

Fri Mar 30 23:02:54 EST 2007

In my previous position we had a serious problem with
this at hundreds of locations throughout the US and in
some states the charges were outrageous. What we ended
up doing was create a TP for 911 that pointed to a
Unity AA or IPCC depending on the cluster (prefix site
code), prompting the user to dial 9911 in the future
however if it was an emergency they could hit 9 to be
transferred to emergency services (if 9 was hit,
transfer to sitecode+911CH, hits TP of sitecode.911
which striped predot and out the local RL). Fairly
admin intensive but much cheaper then the alternative.
