I call and immediately identify this as a test call. I state the following. My Nane, and the fact that I am the PBX tech, (engineer confuses them). I ask them to confirm my address and call back number I provide to them. If all is OK I thank them and hang up. I do not think it is a false call if you identify it as such and give the information. I once was almost charged with a false 911 call, I had added a daemon to call my pager with a server number followed by 911 when a particular server went down. It was a typo and not only did the server number NOT appear but it was dialing 911 instead of my pager. I get a call from the building security that my office door was open and that there were firemen and police inside. I rushed over, thinking the worst and while I was there trying to figure out why they were there they get another call from dispatch stating that the person was calling again. After asking the dispatcher the phone number (ANI) that was calling, I disco'ed the modem. Thank god I was using POTS at the time. I acted stupid and told them it must have been a virus or something. I until this day had kept quiet, I hope the statue of limitations has passed!!!!

It seems that 911 is important enough that when setting up an Asterisk box, it should be tested. How do you go about testing 911 dialing without getting fined for calling for a non-emergency reason? Is there some circumstances where you can ask permission from the city ahead of time? I realize this may be a real stupid question but I have not seen this discussed and I am curious. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
