Defining an Emergency Dial Plan
Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single emergency telephone
number (emergency services number), that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for
assistance when required. The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It
is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and dialed quickly. Some
countries have a different emergency number for each of the different emergency services.
You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone for contacting emergency services. Once you
specify the emergency number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers directly on the dial pad
when required and the phone automatically dials to those emergency services.
The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.
Note:
Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency
numbers in your area.
