Three (3) data files (or databases) are required to provide the data for display at the PSAP:
• Master Street Address Guide (MSAG)
• Telephone Number (TN) Database
• E911 Tandem/Network Information (TN/ESN)
1.4 Master Street Address Guide (MSAG)
The MSAG contains all street information in the full featured E911 service area. The Emergency Service
Numbers (ESNs) are assigned to the streets for routing 911 calls to the proper PSAP. As data records for
