<br><tt><font size=2>Sorry for the off-topic, but google-ing around didn't
reveal much to me, so <br>
here it goes: has any one of the members of this list implemented an E911
<br>
solution? I have a client who needs this installed, but we do not know
if the <br>
configuration has to be related to legal aspects in the state/county/town
the <br>
company resides in. Here is what I am referring to: <br>
<br>
- under the old, analog system, the methodology of calling 911 had the
number <br>
actually routed to an emergency crew, properly trained in CPR and other
first <br>
emergency responder methods, who would then decide if the call had to really
<br>
go to 911. One of the big advantages of this method was also the fact that
<br>
the internal crew had full knowledge of the location of each person, to
the <br>
cube and office level<br>
<br>
- someone I was discussing this issue with said to me that the above was
only <br>
possible under very old laws, allowing such, and that the new laws require
<br>
911 calls to be sent directly to the 911 services, and that the location
will <br>
have to be passed on based on the information from a database my customer
<br>
will have to deliver (and maintain?!?) in coordination with the 911 folks,
<br>
such that each phone will be identified in a specifc area of the building,
<br>
based on participation in a switch-port connection. To me this sounds <br>
extreme, because one of the advnatages VoIP has been bringin to the table
<br>
was ... well ... mobility of phones (no matter where I plug them, they
<br>
register) - so how the heck are we going to be able to continuously update
<br>
the switch-port info?!?<br>
<br>
Any pointers will be highly appreciated - to narrow the scope I would be
<br>
mostly interested in USA - Illinois, but of course other states' deployment
<br>
experience will also be valuable.<br>
<br>
If you feel the above is totally off-topic, please accept my apologies,
and - <br>
if anythiung useful to be added - please email me directly.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Stefan<br>
