Using Cisco Emergency Responder for E911 calls with the Cisco 7920

The Cisco Emergency Responder proactively queries Cisco CallManager for new phone and user login registration events. In response to these events, Cisco Emergency Responder automatically searches known Cisco Catalyst switches in the network and finds the location of the phone and the user, based on the switch port to which the phone is attached (through CDP or the MAC address). This information is then updated in a Cisco Emergency Responder location database, and is used to identify a caller￿s location when an E911 call is placed. With this solution, users can move within a campus or between sites, wherever and whenever they want, without any administrative intervention from the IT organization. This eliminates the administrative costs associated with relocating phones or users, while maintaining accurate and updated location information for E911 state and safety mandates.

Cisco Emergency Responder makes informed inbound and outbound call routing decisions based on the location of emergency callers, and provides crucial location information to emergency operators in Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). Outbound emergency calls are directed to a gateway associated with the PSAP that is nearest to the caller, and in the event of an unintentional call disconnect or need for additional information, inbound calls from a PSAP are returned to the original caller.

For more information, refer to product literature for the Cisco Emergency Responder.

For Cisco 7920 phones, several guidelines should be followed to accommodate the roaming nature of 802.11b phones.
