[Asterisk-Users] E911 Testing !

[Keith Burns]

What do you want to test?
 
Call routing under certain failure scenarios or CAMA trunking?
 
We tested 911 to a "PRI" not connected to the PSTN that terminates on
another gateway (back to back PRI) and make a dedicated handset ring
using a dedicated pass through dial-peer. That way you can do the Q931
debugging on the far end gateway to make sure you have all the right
ISDN signaling in place (assuming you are using ISDN, which makes sense
if you are an office PBX)
 
CAMA trunking will require.. CAMA trunks.
 
As for 911 design. there are a number of ways of doing this depending on
the hazard/failure you are trying to protect yourself from. You could go
as far as dedicated 911 IADs using, for instance, Cisco's SRST and if
you are using IP Phones, set up the SRST gateway as the secondary call
manager etc etc etc.

I believe the 911 is a serious issue if one does an asterisk
installation in an office. How do you test 911? Won't they arrest you or
something for dialing 911 for no reason and talking to one of their
agents who could have taken a more important call? 
 
On the other hand what an emergency comes up (like someone got seriously
injured) and on top of that asterisk crashed all of a sudden bringing
the whole office PBX down. Since it would be not be possible to place a
call and emergency matter becomes more serious, who would be held
responsible? The person who installed the PBX for not implementing a
redundant and reliable system?
