Emergency Outgoing Access Lists
Emergency Outgoing Access Lists
As of version 7.0, the system supports two outgoing access lists called Emergency Day Outgo-
ing Access and Emergency Night Outgoing Access. These lists, which are similar to the Day/
Night Outgoing Access lists, are programmable for CO Trunk Groups and Node IP Connection
Groups. These lists default to the Auto Extension List PP051: Auto: All Stations.
Ten Emergency Numbers
The system can store up to ten emergency numbers that are dialed when the Emergency Call
feature is used.
When the Emergency Call feature code (defaults to 911) is dialed at intercom dial tone, the
Emergency Call feature will select a trunk (defaults to Trunk Group 1) and then automatically
dial Emergency Number 1. If a station user accesses a trunk or ARS and dials Emergency
Numbers 1-10, the dialed number will automatically override all toll restrictions and trunk
access programming.
If the system is installed in an area where 911 service is not available, it is suggested that the
number for the local police or fire department or the telephone company operator be substi-
tuted.
If the database programmer renders this feature inoperative by removing all trunk access and/
or by removing the dialed digit string, the database program will present a warning message
indicating that the feature has been disabled and requiring the programmer to acknowledge or
change this condition before being allowed to continue.
Like all other feature codes, the 911 feature code can be changed to another 1- to 5-digit code,
if necessary, but it is not recommended.
An emergency number will be blocked if there are no trunks or emergency numbers programed
in the database, or all trunks in a trunk group are busy.
If the Emergency Call feature is programmed to use ARS, route group 1 (local calls) will be
used even if its dial patterns are reprogrammed.
Emergency calls, by default, use the first local trunk group and will not be sent using node
trunk groups on other nodes. However, when ARS is used to place an emergency call, Route
Group 1 is used even if it contains nodes. This means that the network can access a trunk on a
node other than the user’s node if the user accesses ARS and dials the emergency number.
Local trunks must be installed and used for emergency number trunk access and nodes should
not be used in Route Group 1. When a user places an emergency call, every administrator in
the network receives an emergency alarm.
