[cisco-voip] School Building VoIP 911

[Mike King]

I would call the PUCO at (800) 686-PUCO (This is the number for OHIO,
which is where your domain is pointing too.)

They will tell you what applicable laws you need to meet.


In Massachusetts, until July 1st, 2009 education was exempted from all
e911 legislation.   A new law was passed in Mass that requires e911
reporting by square footage.

My point is it will be highly individual for each state / county.

That should answer your legal question.

I highly agree with Lelio that you need a "Red Phone".  There are
external devices that accomplish the same thing if you do not have the
capability of getting the EVM cards. I've used the dee's product in
past environments.
