911 Alarms

[Matt85]

Is there anyway to test my 911 alarm points without actually having to dial 911. I tried disconnecting the phone line but it won't route it through the ARS without a dial tone i guess. I can't think of any other way. I tried to program 411 as EMERGENCY in digit strings but that didn't work. this is sx200icp v3

911 must go out on the trunk to raise a 911 alarm. If you connected a local back onto a loop start trunk that should work to at least go to your 911 answer point(s). In ARS route 911 calls out that trunk. Try it.

i don't know what a local back is how do you do that

I think pandabear means to use an analog extension and loop that back into the analog trunk port. the analog extension will provide the dial tone you need.

 

[pandabear1]

paterson" is correct. The local/extension PLID will supply dial tone to the analogue loop start trunk and enable you to tone out 911.
