Configuring the Emergency Call Handling Service

The Emergency Call Handling Service (E911) allows IP Endpoints to use numbers that connect to emergency services, such as 911 in the United States. When used, this feature reaches only the emergency service in the Public Safety Answering Point area where the Avaya communication server is located.

!WARNING:

Because IP Endpoints do not dial to and connect with local emergency services when dialing from remote locations, agents or extensions in remote locations should not use this feature for emergencies.

Avaya Inc. is not responsible or liable for any damages resulting from misplaced emergency calls made from an Avaya endpoint. Your use of this product indicates that you have read this advisory and agree to use an alternative telephone to dial all emergency calls from remote locations.
