Emergency Services Access (ESA) 319
The basic ESA feature only provides for a single ESA route per system.
Since all IP Phones are associated with the same main office, all ESA calls
therefore go to the same Public Safety AnsweringPoint (PSAP) regardless
from which Branch Office they originated. This is not satisfactory if the
branch offices are widely dispersed.
In general, ESA calls should leave the network through a trunk at the
Branch Office where the originating telephone is located. To enable this,
it is necessary for telephones at each Branch Office to supply aunique
identifying prefix to the NRS when the ESA calls are being routed so that
the NRS can select a distinct route for each Branch Office. This prefix
can be configured with the zone data for the MG 1000B telephones. The
provisioning of this prefix is an enhancement for Branch Office.
While a variety of numbering schemes are available, Nortel recommends
that customers use "0" + the ESN location code of the MG 1000B + ESDN,
where ESDN is:
for North America and CALA — "911"
for members of the European Union — "112" and any other emergency
numbers in use prior to the EU directive
This number, referredto here as the ESA Special Number, is configured as
a special number (SPN) in the NRS so that the Virtual Trunkroutes the call
to the Branch Office.
Procedure 37
Configuring the main office
Step Action
Youcan use Element Manager or the Command Line Interface for this
procedure. Refer to IP Peer Networking Installation and Commissioning
(NN43001-313) for details.
1Configure the main office emergency trunk (CAMA or PRI).
Configure either analog CAMA or digital PRI to correctly signal the
call identification.
ESA overrides all security features. Configure the trunk with
restrictions so that other features cannot access the trunk.
2Configure the Virtual Trunk using the procedure from IP Peer
Networking Installation and Commissioning (NN43001-313) .
The Virtual Trunk must be configured to enable emergency calls
originating from MG 1000B IP Phones registered at the main office
to reach the Branch Office.
3Configure ESN.
