Emergency Call Notification - Use Case
...
Step 1. Set up 911 entry in users dialplandialplan (or whatever dialplan target users use)

Note: you can replace this call group application with any treatment that you would like of course. Example: if you would rather ring an external number you could use "Dial the Trunk" application. However, in our example, it makes the most sense to put the call in call group forever so that it will call users of the call group until someone ultimately answers and is informed of the 911 call. |
The way it works
As a result of someone calling the emergency number (911), their call will be processed as usual. In ADDITION to routing the 911 call to a trunk, the PBX engine (Callweaver) will generate a separate call leg and ring the “Notification” call group until someone picks up the call. Once someone answers this call out of the call group they will hear a TTS message saying which extension called the emergency.
Additional Information
In our example we used:
- User 765 and 777
- Dialplan Entries for Routing of 764 and 778
...
Also note that in this example we have added everything to the user dialplan since the originating call is expected to come from an interanl user dialing 911. However, this example could be tweaked to use for some other purpose that perhaps has a triggering event of a call arriving on a trunk. If you reuse this example in such a way you would want to be sure to add the originate application steps into the dialplan associated with the trunk that the call will be arriving on.
