2.36.2 Emergency Call Caller-Location Support
Description
Emergency Call - Caller Location Support integrates the iPECS to a PBX ANI Link unit, such as
from Tone Commander, to provide Caller Id and location information to an emergency center.
When an Emergency call is placed from a Station, an assigned emergency outside Line is used
to connect the ANI Link unit. The iPECS sends the Station number, four (4) digits, to the unit as
DTMF digits. The ANI Link unit places a call to the emergency center over a connected CAMA
trunk. Caller Id and location information from the ANI Link unit database is sent to the emergency
center in the proper format and the Station is connected to the call.
This feature also provides a means to identify a Power Failure signal from the ANI Link unit.
Typically, an ANI Link unit will incorporate a normally open contact that closes when power to the
unit fails. If a Power Failure signal is detected, iPECS routes emergency calls via PSTN/ISDN
circuits other than those marked for emergency call use until the Power Fail signal is removed.
Operation
Operation of this feature is automatic when assigned
Conditions
1. The system analog CO Lines connected to the ANI Link unit must be assigned to a
separate Line group and the individual Lines assigned for emergency service.
2. The ANI Link unit must be properly connected to an SLT port, an analog CO Line port
and on the same LAN as the system KSU LAN port.
3. The ANI Link unit must be properly installed and connected to a CAMA trunk from the
carrier service provider to send location information to the local emergency center.
4. It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain the ANI Link unit number and location
database; there is no integration provided between the iPECS database and the ANI
Link unit.
5. The system must be programmed for a three or four digit Station Numbering Plan. The
system must send four digits to the ANI unit. When a three digit plan is used, a leading
“0” is automatically added to the Station number.
6. During a power failure, if the ANI Link unit Power Fail contacts, normally open, are
connected to a system SLT port, the iPECS will recognize the fault and emergency
calls are not sent to the ANI Link unit. In this situation, emergency calls are sent over
normal system PSTN/ISDN circuits and the station digits are not sent.
7. SMDR output will identify any call made via the Emergency call feature, including the
success or failure of such calls.
