Customizing Your Phone

Emergency Dial Plan

Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single emergency telephone number (emergency serv- ices number), that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for assistance when required. The emergency tele- phone number may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remem- bered and dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency number for each of the different emergency serv- ices.

You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone for contacting emergency services. Once you specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers directly on the keypad when required and the phone automatically dials to those emergency services.

You can set the emergency dial plan using the Aastra Web UI only.

Note:

Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency numbers in your area.

The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.
