Configuring 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, or may have additional numbers for contacting regional / locality specific emergency services.

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 dial pad when required, and the phone automatically dials to those emergency services without needing to enter the PSTN (FXO) prefix digit 9.

Emergency Number	Description
911	An emergency number for the United States
	and Canada
080	An emergency number for Mexico

These emergency numbers are also used when checking that an emergency call is not in progress for the FXO priority override feature described in the Chapter 1, the section, “Emergency Call Priority” on page 1-9.

By default, the emergency number 911 is configured for the AastraLink device.

Use the following procedure to configure other emergency numbers for your network.
