Defining an Emergency Dial Plan

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

You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone to contact emergency services. Once you specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers directly on the dial pad and the phone automatically dials those emergency services.

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.
