Appreciate your frustration, but what 'feature' could be applied here? There is a physical limitation in the Public Switched telephone Network and the way 911 is designed to operate. There is nothing ANY vendor can do, except act as a 3rd part LD 911 provider and take the call into their network...

Yes, if the PSAPs are being serviced by the SAME SELECTIVE ROUTERS then this is fine. If not, then the foreign number will go in as an ANI fail, be routed to the default PSAP who can only ANSWER but not transfer your call. If they do transfer, it will be on a 10 digit admin line with NO ORIGINAL...

THE FCC IS NOT ELECTED. I recently interviewed Commissioner Ajit Pai and we talked about how the FCC works, and how commissioners are appointed. You can listen or read the interview at: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/slice-pai-my-interview-fcc-commissioner-mark-fletcher-enp 911 is typically...

In the US, 911 is very segmented based on old LATA boundary lines. VoIP has allowed those lines to be blurred, causing the existing 911 infrastructure to become problematic for user location. How do we fix this? -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911...

We should likely move this to a separate thread. We are now WAY off topic. I agree with you to some extent, lets discuss on an appropriate thread in respect to the Mods. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911 Podcast @ http://avaya.com/Fletcher...

You are entirely correct the line is a physical entity, and that line has an identifier on it, a phone number. When I am on an MLTS PBX, I may use any line on the system, or in the case of a PRI line, the system dynamically assigns a number when I make the outbound call based on what station is...

Unfortunately, the problem here in the US is the 911 network was built and designed in the late 1960's using technologies available then. Phone numbers lived in single places fo rthe most part, and 'mobility' had to do with wheel chairs and crutches. The general practice was for the LEC to...

What country are you located in? Let's start there, and maybe I can help explain. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911 Podcast @ http://avaya.com/Fletcher http://fletch.tv

The problem there is if the IP changes or the user moves their phone. Stickers, waivers, Post-it notes stapled to the user's forehead will not stop stupid from stupid. Fixing the problem is not difficult. You need the right solution for the right problem. It needs to be easy to manage, flexible...

Well, when it comes to something that affects people's lives, I get a little wordy as there are more BAD PRACTICES out there being preached as BEST PRACTICES by those looking to profit on SELLING E911 Services. I don't SELL E911, the basic functionality is included to those that own my PBX, as...

First of all, GREAT POST on a great topic! As we Flatten, Consolidate and Extend out communications infrastructure, this exact problem becomes more and more critical to deal with, and can put MLTS E911 on your plate when you least expect it. It is this crucial juncture where you need to start...

The other thing to remember is that sending the call to a DID number at any service is bypassing the local 911 network. Plus you either need to have a separate DID number from the service for every location you have, or you need to have your own DID numbers for each station. That is the ONLY WAY...

911 from hotels is an issue that was raised last year to the FCC after the tragic incident in Marshall Texas. The FCC Ex Parte I filed from my meeting last year with Commissioner Ajit Pai is here: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7521065479 When dealing with E911 in any environment...

There is actually a way to set this in BARS as well. I think it may be defined as an LDID, but memory is very dusty. Basically this will accomplish what the suggestion does before, just as an internal function. -- Fletch Chief Architect WW Public Safety Solutions CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911...

Good to see everyone is still hanging around. Still doing 911 product strategy, but globally now, so I am in the EU once or twice a year with the EENA forums. Still active with NENA and APCO here, and the new Avaya Safe School initiative falls under me as well. I see the MVP list has stayed...

Hey everyone, just was cruising the internet today and stumbled on a link that brought me back here. It certainly has been a loooooong time. Any of the other old dinosaurs still left here? ;-) Fletch -- Fletch Avaya E9-1-1 Product Manager CHECK OUT MY BLOGS & E911 Podcast @...

Hey everyone! Just stopping back in to say Hi! Good to see many of the same faces still here! When I saw GHTrout show up on my cell phone, I knew sh*t must have hit the fan someplace! ;-) Interesting thread, and I am very impressed with the ingenuity being applied! Hope everyone has been well...

Yes, they called and I spoke to the support engineer that is assigned. FYI, here's one point that was made clear: CENTREX Service is basic analog service with some extra features that can be activated after a hookflash on the CENTREX TRUNK The TRUNK Hookflash is NOT associated with the station...

So what you are trying to do is initiate a "Star Code Transfer" on the CAMA Trunk provided by the Selective Router which uses the CENTREX signaling standard. For those interested, ISDN is NOT an option, as the 911 infrastructure that was developed in 1968 has gone through very little technology...
