Cisco Emergency Responder Overview
The One Phone Per Office feature works with Cisco Emergency Responder, which enhances the existing
emergency 9-1-1 functionality offered by Cisco Unified CM. It assures that Cisco Unified
Communications Manager will send emergency calls to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) for the caller's location, and that the PSAP can identify the caller's location and return the call
if necessary. In addition, the system automatically tracks and updates equipment moves and changes.
Deploying this capability helps ensure more effective compliance with legal or regulatory obligations,
reducing the risk of liability related to emergency calls.
Coupled with Cisco Unified CM, Cisco Emergency Responder surpasses traditional PBX capabilities by
introducing user or phone moves and changes at no cost, and supplying dynamic tracking of user and
phone locations for emergency 9-1-1 safety and security purposes.
Cisco Emergency Responder includes the following features:
•
Real-time location-tracking database and enhanced routing capabilities.
•
Supports automatic notification of customer security personnel when an emergency call is in
progress and provides the caller's location.
•
Requires no administrative support for moving phones or staff from one location to another.
Note
For the Cisco Unified IP Phone to perform E911 functions, the Cisco Unified CM and network (switches
and routers) must be correctly configured. See the
Cisco Emergency Responder
home page for more
information.
