[cisco-voip] Hotel Murder Linked to E911 Programming

[Heim, Dennis]

I have always told customers that 911 must go out to the PSAP. If they only want to allow 9-9-1-1, then they need to place stickers on the phones. That usually causes them to do 911. In an attempt to avoid miss dials, I have inserted a delay by changing the 911 pattern to 911? And changing the inter-digit (T.302) timers to 5000-7500 ms.

I've done the same thing on my personal lab setups (which double for voice at the house), and I've personally seen PD respond to one of my company's offices because someone dialed 9-1-1 rather than 9-011-<XXXX> for an international call.

Like others have said, better to have an accidental call than to have a call not go out.  I don't know any first responder personally who disagrees with that sentiment.
