140 CHAPTER 4: ADDING VCX TELEPHONES AND ATTENDANT CONSOLES
Editing Emergency
Lines for an ERL
To edit an Emergency Line for the ERL.
CAUTION: If Emergency service settings or emergency lines are changed,
(for example, the gateway IP address or emergency digits) they will not
take effect until the telephones are power cycled. A simple logout/login
of the telephone is not adequate enough.
CAUTION: Ensure that the emergency line you want to modify is not in
use, The Usage State field on the Emergency Line ID Numbers page
must be Not in use.
1In the USERS menu, click Emergency Services.
The Emergency Defaults and Emergency Services page appears.
2From the Location Settings column, click Emergency Lines for the ERL you
want to configure.
The Emergency Line ID Numbers page appears.
3In the ELIN column, click the ELIN you want to edit.
The Edit Emergency Line ID Number page appears.
4In the ELIN field, type the Emergency Location Identification Number.
5In the Association Release Timer field, enter the amount of time you want
to leave the ELIN associated with the emergency caller. The number is
specified in hours and the range is 1 through 24. This association is used
to callback the emergency caller. After the configured time expires, the
association between the emergency caller and ELIN is dropped. In case an
ELIN is not in use, it can be assigned to a new emergency caller and the
association with an older emergency caller is overwritten with the
association of the new emergency caller.
6In the Usage Release Timer field, enter in the maximum amount of time
you want to allow the ELIN to remain in use. The number is specified in
hours and the range is 1 through 24. Normally, an ELIN is freed when the
emergency caller goes on-hook before the emergency service provider
goes on-hook, otherwise, the ELIN is kept in use for the duration of this
timer.
7Click Save.
The Emergency Line ID Numbers page refreshes, showing the updated
ELIN.
