This is as easy as running an AGI on your 911 rule to do whatever you
want.  The AGI can dial multiple phones, send emails, page you, etc.
Even without the AGI you can do many things from the dialplan.

2012-06-12 Thread Nunya Biznatch
Thanks for the response. You gave me some ideas I didn't think of such 
as sending a text message to the on-call security person's cell phone. 
However, while I know I can get the 911 call to call other phones, I 
also need location data. I know there are ways to do it, but I don't 
have the kung-fu for things like databases, and am wondering if there's 
something simple in Asterisk like a flat file used to correlate phone 
number and location. Then, there's the part of how to get that 
additional data to display on a phone. To throw a wrench in it, I don't 
want local security to answer, just to be alerted the call is going on 
so they can be the first on scene and make themselves available to 
direct emergency personnel when they arrive.



Thanks Again!

Re: [asterisk-users] 911 multple-alert question

2012-06-12 Thread Nunya Biznatch

You're absolutely correct. The 911 system maintenance is a PITA.

Our current PBX routes all 911 calls to an box we call the Proctor 
Box. That box does a couple things. First, it assigns an ANI to a 
number. So for example, 3-digit extensions get a real 10-digit numbers 
assigned. It then routes that 911 call out a dedicated CAMA trunk to the 
PSAP. Additionally , we pay a third party company to upload our location 
data to the ALI database, so when our provided ANI hits the PSAP, they 
can pull proper location info out of the ALI database.


The other thing this box does is feed a couple local display terminals. 
These terminals alarm and display local information from it's own 
internal database during a 911 call for local security folks. In the 
meantime, I have the PBX itself which contains its own telephone 
directory with location and department information, and it's own 
Emergency Services ID. It will use this ID if the CAMA trunks are out of 
service and the phone system decides to route the 911 call out a normal 
PRI. This data we try to use as a baseline for the 911 data. So we 
currently have multiple databases I have to keep 100% in sync, with a 
1000+ set campus with people moving constantly amongst the 25+ 
buildings. It's a nightmare.


Basically, as we migrate to Asterisk, I need to figure out if I can 
replicate our current functionality. The preference is to come up with 
something much nicer than a half-dozen data points that are never in 
synch. If I can't find a solution in Asterisk, then I'm stuck using 
something like we already have.


...and yes, as you have imagined, there have been a few FUs in the past. 
We've dodged a number of bullets. I'm hoping I can resolve this when we 
migrate.


I will look into the local channel variable in the sip.conf. That sounds 
promising. If I populate that data, how does it make it to the display 
of a phone on campus? I guess that's a piece I haven't either read or 
been able to wrap my head around yet.


Thanks!

Can you set up asterisk so when a 911 call is placed, in addition to the 
call out to the PSAP, it also alerts multiple other phones on the switch 
and will display detailed information. Such as alerting a receptionist 
or security guard there is a 911 call elsewhere in the building and the 
location of that call within the building? If so, how?

[asterisk-users] 911, channel full

2010-03-03 Thread mir shahnawaz
Hi,

I am trying to implement 911 funtionality in my PBX. A call should
drop if all lines are busy. Here is my context nineoneone from
extensions.conf

[nineoneone]
exten = s,1,Set(SET_EMERG_FLAG=0)
exten = s,n(checkavail),ChanIsAvail(${EMERGENCY_TRUNK})
exten = s,n,Set(EMERGENCY=1,g)
exten = s,n,Set(SET_EMERG_FLAG=1)
exten = s,n(dial),Dial(${EMERGENCY_TRUNK}/${EMERGENCY_NUM})
exten = s,s+2(trunkbusy),GotoIf($[${EMERGENCY}=1]?inprogress)
exten = s,n,SoftHangup(${EMERGENCY_TRUNK}-1)
exten = s,n,Wait(12)
exten = s,n,Goto(checkavail)
exten = s,s+2(inprogress),Congestion
exten = s,checkavail+101(notavail),Goto(trunkbusy)
exten = h,1,GotoIf($[${SET_EMERG_FLAG}=1]?3)
exten = h,3,Set(EMERGENCY=0,g)

If all lines connecting to PSTN are busy. I get busy tone upon dialing
911 and following message is generated by CLI.

app_dial.c:1547 dial_exec_full: Unable to create channel of type
'DAHDI' (cause 34 - Circuit/channel congestion)

I would appreciate if somebody help me solve this issue.

This would prevent the caller talking to the 911-operator, wouldn't it?

The idea behind the OP was that the caller was a man down who couldn't
speak to 911, just dial the number.  You could always change wait to
waitexten and make an exten to break the loop if you were able to talk.

 right from the start, they will never hear the im-at message. And even 
 if they do, they have to know the message is there to seek on the recording.

In the US at least, calls to PSAPs are recorded from the instant the
last digit is dialed, before the call is even routed and ringing (on
wireline networks where this is possible, anyway).

[asterisk-users] 911, location

2010-01-28 Thread mir shahnawaz
Hi there,

I am running a PBX under asterisk 1.6. I have few FXO analogue lines
connecting to PSTN. These lines are in a hunt group. I trying to make
my extensions to dial 91, but this is a bit scary, I mean if somebody
make an emergency call after hours and without completing call is not
able to tell his/her location. How can I make 911 call center to know
the exact location of my extension. I think its possible by having
DID's but I am looking for other options too. I would appreciate your
valuable ideas and suggestions.

Thanks in advance

If you're using POTS lines to make the call to 911 they'll know the
location, if the POTS lines come into the building that you're calling
from.  Are you saying that these lines are located in a different location?

- exten = _911,3,Dial(DAHDI/1,w911)

Where you would record /var/lib/asterisk/sound/emergencyin100 for extension

If nobody is around how would they even get into the building ? Certainly in 
the UK nobody should ever be in the building on their own for this exact 
reason; and if they are then in would be prudent to have man down alarms and

 Yes, we are using the max tnt to aggregate several PRIs both inbound and

Re: [asterisk-users] 911 via MAX TNT ??

2008-06-08 Thread Leon Sun
Joe,

I am not sure if your 911 call is incoming or outgoing on PRIs.
#assume you have a T1 in {1 1 1}

Read t1 { 1 1 1}
Set line send-dnis-type-of-number ?

You will see options. Some 911 providers support media-before-connect. Plz
make sure your all of TNT support 183.

Hope it can help you

Remember: 9-1-1 is a *dialling pattern*, not a *directory number*;
it's entirely possible that trunks wouldn't accept it directly.

This *is* a *LEC* trunk, right?

Re: [asterisk-users] 911 via MAX TNT

2008-06-04 Thread JR Richardson
 When I send a call out the MAX I get the following
 
 -- Got SIP response 484 Address Incomplete back from 172.16.10.230
 
 Any ideas on how to make 911 appear as a ten digit number to the device so
 that it will pass the number out to the PSTN ?

This is not a max tnt problem, the tnt will pass anything you send to it,
911/411/7 digit/10digit/011 international, the question is, does your PSTN
provider accept 911 call on the trunk your passing the call to?

I've never used a TNT before but what does your dial pattern matching look like?

If you were using Asterisk, your match would probably look like this:

_NXXNXX

911 would match NXX but not the remaining digits, hence the 484
Address Incomplete.  I bet your TNT is doing something similar

However:
_NXXNXX
_911

Would work just fine (in Asterisk).  You need to figure out how to do
something similar on your TNT.

2008-06-04 Thread Mik Cheez
The first place you may want to look is in the SYSLOG of the TNT, 
allowing you to see things such as the ISDN error code along with the 
SIP code.  You can try to catch that on the terminal of the TNT, but it 
may make more sense to pipe your syslogs out to an external box, if you 
aren't doing it already.

JR's suggestion that it may be a limit of the trunk you're using.

 Without knowing more about how you have your TNT set up, typically you'd
 configure your outbound T1's to a specific trunkgroup and prepend that
 trunkgroup number to the phonenumber.
 
 Should it be assumed that 172.16.10.230 is the address of the TNT?

I have enabled outside extension '911' and '11' for emergency  
service.  This way users can either dial '9911' or '911' to get to a  
PSAP.  I would rather have a couple accidential 911 calls than a  
death because someone forgot to dial a 2nd 9.  When people are  
freaking out they fall back on muscle memory.  Many won't pay  
attention to wether they need to dial 9 for an outside line and then  
911 for emergency.

In my case the 911 goes to the Police departments dispatchers, I have to to call the main office number and make sure it is a good time to test then I can call right back to get the read out on the screen. This is great since they want me to send them some sort of information about who called from my system.

 Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] 911 Testing Quoting Leif Neland [EMAIL PROTECTED]: According to what I've read somewhere, at least our 911 (112) has an
 answering machine, saying Alarm central, one moment and a few seconds delay, before the call actually is signaled to the dispatcher, to filter out misdials and crank calls.
 So if you hang up quickly, they'll never know or be bothered. In Minnesota (probably most places in the US) Once you have dialed 911, even if it was in error, you
 should stay on the line until a dispatcher answers.If you don't they'll consider it a 911 hangup and attempt to call you back.If they can not reach you, they will dispatch a law enforcement
 officer (and in some areas, other emergency services). The usual call flow I've experianced is this: I Dial 911 They answer Minneapolis 911 I say This is Shane from company x making a 911 test call.
 They will either say ok or Please Hold if they have other calls waiting. Once they have said ok, I'll say I want to confirm you see my number as xxx-xxx- and my
 address is y They will almost always say Yes, that's what we have I'll say Thank you They will say Good Bye and hang up. I'll hang up.

I believe most 911 centers would prefer you call their non-emergency 
number before testing to let them know what you're about to do. They may 
suggest a less busy time to do the tests, etc.


I know a lot of installers that just dial 911 without any previous 
contact and I don't recall any of them getting chewed out for doing it. 
Guess if you keep the conversation short its less likely to be a bother.


From a quality control perspective, I'm sure they would appreciate a

 Good Morning List,
 When setting up a pbx and you want to test your 911 settings do you
 call 911 and tell them its a test call or do you relly that you set
 it up properly and hope for the best when some one call's 911 ?

 I believe most 911 centers would prefer you call their non-emergency
 number before testing to let them know what you're about to do. They
 may suggest a less busy time to do the tests, etc.

 I know a lot of installers that just dial 911 without any previous
 contact and I don't recall any of them getting chewed out for doing
 it. Guess if you keep the conversation short its less likely to be a
 bother.

According to what I've read somewhere, at least our 911 (112) has an
answering machine, saying Alarm central, one moment and a few seconds
delay, before the call actually is signaled to the dispatcher, to filter out
misdials and crank calls.

So if you hang up quickly, they'll never know or be bothered.

In Minnesota (probably most places in the US) Once you have dialed 911, even if 
it was in error, you
should stay on the line until a dispatcher answers.  If you don't they'll 
consider it a 911 hangup
and attempt to call you back.  If they can not reach you, they will dispatch a 
law enforcement
officer (and in some areas, other emergency services).

The usual call flow I've experianced is this:

I Dial 911
They answer Minneapolis 911
I say This is Shane from company x making a 911 test call.
They will either say ok or Please Hold if they have other calls waiting.
Once they have said ok, I'll say I want to confirm you see my number as 
xxx-xxx- and my
address is y
They will almost always say Yes, that's what we have
I'll say Thank you

Be careful here... Our local PSAP is handled by the fire department.  I had
one of our guy's make a test call and we were told that this test must be
coordinated and scheduled in advance with the chief.  They want no test
calls.  It would probable be safest to check before making the call as they
could consider it an abuse of the emergency system.  It seems like a catch

[Asterisk-Users] 911 @ Zap Channel Breakin

2006-05-14 Thread Mark Coccimiglio

Ok here is one for you.

I know we all do the this for 911:

exten = _911,1,Dial(Zap/1/911)
exten = _9911,1,Dial(Zap/1/911)

And this probably is more then acceptable for most of us.  However I
have a system setup that uses SIP for most calls and 1 POTS line.  We
use a least cost routing that uses the POTS line for local calls AND
SIP when appropiate.  What I want to do is durring a 911 call test if
the Zap channel is Available (probably using ChanIsAvail() ) to test the
line.  IF the channel is in use I want to barge in with an announcment
saying that the line is needed for an emergency and the call we be
disconnected.  Then immediately drop the call capture the line so noone
else can use it, wait about 5 seconds for the telco to clear the far end
and place the 911 call.  Is this possible?

Look through their E911 stuff, perhaps it's still there.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 911 and ISDN PRI

2006-02-08 Thread Watkins, Bradley
Title: Message



It 
looks like the outbound caller ID is not being set properly. Most of the 
carriers that I've dealt with will act exactly as you said if you do not set it 
to what is expected at the 911 center.

In 
particular:

 Calling Number (len= 8) [ Ext: 0 
TON: Subscriber Number (4) NPI: ISDN/Telephony Numbering Plan 
(E.164/E.163) 
(1) 
Presentation: Presentation permitted, user number not screened (0) '3251' ] 


Your 
user number being sent is just the caller ID of the SIP 
channel.

Joe,



It is entirely possible, even probable,
that you spoke with someone who doesnt know the difference between PRI
and good ol fashion T1 trunks. If he insists that the channel
never comes up then he is definitely looking in the wrong place. Assuming
hes talking about the B channel, obviously its not coming up
because thats what youre troubleshooting. If hes
insisting that the D channel isnt coming up then obviously none of your
calls would be working, DID or otherwise. 



Sounds like youve got a case of vendor
wheel-of-blame going on. Please contact me off list and Ill be
happy to help you out. I used to be a vendor so I know the routine. Ive
got a dozen T1s, half of which are PRIs, from 3 different telcos
so Im used to this kind of stuff.

From me looking at it - it looks like the Telco is not accepting a
3 digit number. Have you tried 411 on the PRI to see if you are getting
the same error?

  Joe,
  
  It is
entirely possible, even probable,
that you spoke with someone who doesnt know the difference between PRI
and good ol fashion T1 trunks. If he insists that the channel
never comes up then he is definitely looking in the wrong place.
Assuming
hes talking about the B channel, obviously its not coming up
because thats what youre troubleshooting. If hes
insisting that the D channel isnt coming up then obviously none of
your
calls would be working, DID or otherwise. 
  
  Sounds like
youve got a case of vendor
wheel-of-blame going on. Please contact me off list and Ill be
happy to help you out. I used to be a vendor so I know the routine.
Ive
got a dozen T1s, half of which are PRIs, from 3 different telcos
so Im used to this kind of stuff.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 911 and ISDN PRI

2006-02-08 Thread Darren Nickerson

Joe,

Verizon's tech is doing what most techs will do in a similar situation when 
they encounter an interop problem - blame the customer ;-) I've been 
involved in _MANY_ such calls, and you need to politely but firmly ask to be 
escalated to a switch engineer, or someone who has a good understanding of 
the ISDN protocol. You might want to ask them to 'run a trap on the call' as 
well ... that will sometimes impress them. You need them to dump the ISDN 
chatter between you and them for a single call (such as the one below) and 
they will need to get setup to collect that. Once they've dumped it, they 
will need someone fairly senior there to interpret it.


You might not need to capture a call in this case though, since Asterisk 
provides you with all you need. Here's what the ISDN trace you include below 
tells you:


1. The PRI is in service - the D-channel and B-channel are working together 
to talk to your telco's switch
2. Their switch is rejecting your call with ISDN cause code 28 (Invalid 
number format).


The called-party is clearly '911' in this call. Their switch seems to be 
rejecting that as an invalid number. You need to ask them why! ;-)

911 *should*
work on a PRI. If you are getting a hangup and you dont see a valid
hangupcause, it might be best to get your carrier on the line and have them
monitor the circuit while you dial 911. They might be able to tell you what
the problem is.

It definitely sounds like the carrier is

let us know what the carrier says about 911 dialing so that we can make sure
our *s are all setup properly.

Currently we are working with Telco Providers to provide 911 and e911 with
all the bells and whistles, including CNMAN features. This will enable you
to deliver 911 calls to PSAP with out having to tell them your location. Get

Joel Newkirk wrote on Friday, 30 September 2005 7:20 AM:

 Looking into setting up a couple asterisk servers at a country club,
 with VOIP phones in each of 100 short-term residential rental units. 
 Approx 100 extensions, approx 24 outside lines.
 
 Since everything is geographically at one location, reaching 911
 correctly shouldn't present a problem.  However, the club wishes to
 ensure that 911 authorities are able to identify the precise rental
 unit placing the call.   

Mr. Newkirk,

This and similar situations present a very serious issue for emergency
responders.  When you dial 911, your call is routed to the appropriate PSAP
(Public Safety Answering Point) based on your ANI (Automatic Number
Identification) or ELIN (Emergency Line Identification Number -- usually
just another term for ANI).  As your call arrives, the PSAP does a query of
their ALI (Automatic Location Information) database to get your location
information.  Please note that the PSAP does NOT use Caller ID for this
purpose.  End users are not able to block their ANI (under normal
circumstances), even though they may block their Caller ID.

Either the ILEC or a company like Intrado will maintain the ALI database in
your area.  If you are getting your PRI and DIDs from your local ILEC, they
would be responsible for getting the correct information entered into the
ALI database.  Typically, the information entered is only the physical
address where the primary service is installed.  In most circumstances, this
information is enough to get police/fire/EMS to you in an emergency.
However, I suspect the entire country club shares a single street address.
If so, when someone dials 911, the PSAP will get only the main address of
the country club.  In this and similar situations, such as calling from
within a multi-floor office building, a campus environment, etc., the main
street address is simply not enough information to get emergency responders
to you in a timely manner.  

Consider this not-so-unusual hypothetical scenario.  A guest of the
Pennsauken Country Club is having a heart attack in his bungalow.  He dials
911.  The dispatcher's screen at the PSAP shows the main information for the
club (856) 662-4961 - 3800 Haddonfield Rd - Pennsauken Country Club -
Pennsauken, NJ.  The guest explains that he is experiencing severe chest
pain, then either passes out before he can tell the dispatcher his exact
location at the country club, or is confused or unaware of his exact
location.  The dispatcher would roll fire, EMS, and/or police to the main
address.  However, when they arrive, the emergency responders would have to
knock on all 100+ doors to even attempt to determine who was having the
emergency.  Now you probably have a dead guest.  Not good for business.  

First off, you should be using a PRI to connect your Asterisk server to the
PSTN.  You should also have a block of DIDs, with each guest room assigned
its own, unique DID.  This way you can differentiate among the individual
rooms when people are making outbound calls, and guests may receive incoming
calls in their room without going through an operator.  Asterisk is capable
of setting ANI in addition to Caller ID, on a per-call basis.  This would
ensure that the correct data is sent to the phone company when someone dials
911.  

As to getting the data to the PSAP to indicate where within the country club
each DID is assigned, you have a couple of solutions.  You can implement
PS/ALI (Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification), or you can work
with your telecom provider to have them enter the extended data into the ALI
database for each DID individually.  

PS/ALI is the best solution, from a technical standpoint -- but it is
usually quite expensive.  PS/ALI allows you to provide the E-911 system with
current, specific tenant location information to expedite emergency response
times to the site of the emergency -- not just to the building or general
site location.  So when your guest having a heard attack in room 119 dials
911, the PSAP gets something more along the line of (856) 324-4119 - 3800
Haddonfield Rd - Building 5 Room 119 - Pennsauken Country Club - Pennsauken,
NJ.  

PS/ALI is geared toward larger telecom users such as colleges, office
buildings, large office campuses, etc., with a somewhat mobile population.
It is utilized best when most of your extensions or DIDs are assigned to a
person, as opposed to a location.  This way, when the person moves from one
office to another, your staff can push the change to the ALI database within
minutes of the move, rather than phoning in a service order to the LEC, and
waiting days for the change to be pushed to ALI.  

In your situation, I am assuming an extension or DID would most likely stay
at a fixed location for quite some time (e.g. extension 4119 is always going
to be guest room 119).  So PS/ALI may be overkill in your situation.  In
that case, I would go the second route mentioned above.  Work with your

Think you might have jumped to a conclusion that might not be valid.
If the telco can handle a PRI and will accept callerid from you,
and each unit has a valid telephone number, then the telco can populate
the callerid database with names. Those are the only two items the
telco can provide in real time.

The 911 center manager can better tell you exactly how they populate
their database with street addresses and unit numbers. That process is
likely an external non-automated process, or, the local telco is giving
them the info via a electronic/paper copy of their service order. But,
he's the only one that can tell you exactly how that works for his
center.

So, don't give. Go to the 911 manager and do some research; then go to
his contact at the telco to get the real facts.

I have some information from the 911 service manager for Bell Canada in 
Eastern Ontario.  

Basically the Public Service Automatic Location Indentification database 
(PSALI) only has allocations for BTNs (Billing Telephone Numbers) -- there 
are no ALI entries for DIDs from Bell Canada at this time, and there is no 
plan to do this.   Basically if you set your outgoing ANI to a DID the PSAP 
office will have no address information, and indeed the switch may end up 
overwriting your ANI with the BTN.

Since DIDs do not have an address associated with them  (makes sense, they are 
only inward-numbers by design), you can convert DIDs to LDNs (Local 
Directory Number, same thing but has a directory (address) associated with 
it) -- the unfortunate side-effect of that is that LDNs are all billed 
separately so you would receive a separate bill for every LDN on a PRI.

There is a service (of course!) being offered where you can provide 
specifically-formatted records for the PSALI database.  It's not cheap, it's  
a $2000 setup fee and (IIRC) $500/mo for up to 500 record changes, and a 
two-year contract minimum.  (These figures might be off, it's from memory.)  
However if you subscribe to this service you can assign any municipal address 
to any number and it will make its way into the PSALI database, which is what 
all the primary PSAP offices use to get the address information before 
routing the call to the appropriate secondary PSAP office.

At least with Bell Canada, this is the only way to get your user's address 
information into the database used by the primary PSAP offices.  The 
alternative, of course, is to set up your own primary PSAP system and then 
you can use whatever database and organization system you want, and redirect 
calls to the appropriate secondary PSAP office yourself.

Asterisk is more then capable of sending the appropriate callerid info

[Asterisk-Users] 911 Q

2005-09-30 Thread Joel Newkirk
OK, got a question on 911.

Looking into setting up a couple asterisk servers at a country club,
with VOIP phones in each of 100 short-term residential rental units.
Approx 100 extensions, approx 24 outside lines.

Since everything is geographically at one location, reaching 911
correctly shouldn't present a problem.  However, the club wishes to
ensure that 911 authorities are able to identify the precise rental unit
placing the call.

How can we achieve this, short of 'reciting' the unit number aloud at
the beginning of the placed call?

Thanks for any advice/tips.

2005-09-30 Thread Alexander Lopez
 With hotel systems When some places a 911 call it is printed on the
printer in the Front Desk, Hwen help arrives they usually go to the
Frount Dsek anyway.  I would set up a System() that would not only
printout he romm number on the Front Desk Printer but also drop a call
file in to trigger a call to the Front Desk with a prerecorded message
of wht extention just called 911. That way the Hotel can send someone to
the room to act as first response and the Frount Desk can direct the 911
team to the correct location.

Hmm, could you just put the full address (including unit no.) in the E911
database for the corresponding numbers assigned?

You might have to work with your phone company/LEC on this, but I think it 
would be the most transparent solution.

We're only expecting about 1/4 as many outside lines as rental units,
which I believe would make that impossible.  These units are typically
rented by golfers and hangers-on during various events. (think about the
cloud that descends on a US Open golf tournament) It's not hotel-style
(there's no 'front desk') nor long-term residences - it's a condominium
complex on the course dedicated entirely to short-term rentals.  The
situation is that someone calling in will be prompted for a unit number,
outbound calling 'appears' direct dialed.

From what I understand, Packet8 had this option for quite some time. I 
used (more than one year ago) to be Packet8 customer.

[Asterisk-Users] 911 Notices

2005-08-26 Thread snacktime
With the deadline coming up for sending notices to customers, I found
it curious that out of 4-5 different providers I use, to date only one
of them has contacted me.  The rest don't even have anything on their
website that I could find.  Junction Networks was the only one that
actually sent me a letter and also have everything right on the first
page when you login to their system.

A week or so ago I remember reading an article where the CEO from one
of my vendors was complaining that they wouldn't have enough time to
get all of their customers to respond in time.  I thought that was
pretty funny given that they don't seem to even be contacting anyone
yet. There isn't even anything on their website except a statement
that they do not plan to support 911 anytime soon.

Am I missing something here?  Is the FCC going to be extending
deadlines and that's why the apparent lack of action on this issue? 
Just curious.  I thought I would have started receiving letters a long
time ago.

An important distinction should be clarified here. The FCC will require
interconnected VOIP providers to provide 911/E911 service. Those VOIP
operators providing dial-tone and a DID number need to comply. Those
providing termination, or origination alone will not.

Yes, line 5 may not work, and also line 5 is more likely to have another
emergency call in progress. I disagree with hanging up channels in this
manner... IMHO, it is worse to hangup an emergency call in-progress than
to simply return congestion You must check that the call in progress
isn't itself an emergency call.

 I also *TOTALLY* disagree with using Ringing() to calm the caller.  If the 
 call's not going through they SHOULD be thinking of using an alternative way 
 to reach 911, not calmly waiting for an answer that just wont come.

But the call *IS* going through, I just allowed the caller to hear
ringing for 2 seconds instead of dead-air. We just made a line available
for him, so what makes you think it won't go through? (OK, someone else
might steal the line while we are waiting...). Of course, after the two
seconds, if the line is busy, they will hear busy, and then be able to
decide the best course of action Perhaps retry, etc...

In any case, whether you use a group, or play ringing, or don't, etc...
IMHO, is irrelevant, what all of these dialplans are missing is the
importance of NOT disconnecting an emergency call which is in-progress.

Of course, that is just my 0.02c worth...

Adam

 to simply return congestion You must check that the call in progress
 isn't itself an emergency call.
 
  I also *TOTALLY* disagree with using Ringing() to calm the caller.  If the 
  call's not going through they SHOULD be thinking of using an alternative 
  way 
  to reach 911, not calmly waiting for an answer that just wont come.
 
 But the call *IS* going through, I just allowed the caller to hear
 ringing for 2 seconds instead of dead-air. We just made a line available
 for him, so what makes you think it won't go through? (OK, someone else
 might steal the line while we are waiting...). Of course, after the two
 seconds, if the line is busy, they will hear busy, and then be able to
 decide the best course of action Perhaps retry, etc...
 
 In any case, whether you use a group, or play ringing, or don't, etc...
 IMHO, is irrelevant, what all of these dialplans are missing is the
 importance of NOT disconnecting an emergency call which is in-progress.
 
 Of course, that is just my 0.02c worth...

Never did answer whether this effort is focused on a home system or on
a small business. It does make a difference.

If you are insistent on doing the above, then at least consider giving
the second 911 caller a recorded message that says a 911 call is in
progress instead of arbitrarily dumping _any_ calls.

Assuming a reasonable size fire in a business, you're almost guaranteed
to have multiple 911 calls originating from employees that don't have
a clue that other calls are already in progress. By using the call 
dumping approach, you couldn't possibly program a resonable dialplan
that takes every assumption into consideration, regardless of how you
program it.

Murphy's law also says your system/dialplan will fail at the most
inopportune time. Therefore, if you don't have an alternative plan (that
does not rely on *), we'll watch for your case to show up in the court
records.

 In your example above, if ChanIsAvail(Zap/1) finds that Zap/1 is
 unavailable, then priority 102 will be executed. However, what do
 you want to happen if Zap/1 is available (at least from asterisk's
 perspective), but the pstn line on Zap/1 doesn't process the call
 for whatever reason?

One thing that bothers me with this style of dialplan for emergency
numbers... What happens if you already have a emergency call on zap/5 ??
You have disconnected one call to emergency in order to place a second
call, IMHO, that isn't a good thing to do :)

So, question is, how can you ID that zap/5 is *currently* involved in a
emergency call?

exten = 911,1,ChanIsAvail(Zap/1)

panic
exten = 911,106,wait(2)
exten = 911,107,goto(1)
exten = 911,203,congestion

Anyone like to comment on something like that?? Obviously, it can be
extended to handle multiple lines, etc... and it should avoid
dis-connecting an existing 911 call. Note, you should check priority
numbers, and etc... this is just off the top of my head...

That's all getting pretty messy, but you could stuff a value using
DBput when a 911 call is made, and clear the value at the end of
that call. Then on subsequent calls, use DBget to see if a 911
call is in progress.

But as mentioned previously, you've made a large number of assumptions
to even think you can place a 911 call this way.

You could probably do something like that with an AGI script, and
have a fair amount more intelligence in the decision tree.

If I recall correctly, seems like someone was taking about adding
global variables into asterisk, but I don't recall how global those
might be (if they are even there right now). That might also be a
way to track number of outstanding 911 calls.

What is better about dbput/dbget compared to setgroup/checkgroup ??
Also, how do you ensure that the db value will be removed at hangup
time? setgroup/checkgroup do this automatically for you ...

 But as mentioned previously, you've made a large number of assumptions
 to even think you can place a 911 call this way.

Like what? (Seriously...)

 You could probably do something like that with an AGI script, and
 have a fair amount more intelligence in the decision tree.

Of course, but there is a lot that you *can* do in an AGI that you *can*
do in the dialplan... It might look better/cleaner as an AGI, but the
dialplan would probably have lower overhead Also, do you want to
rely on some external scripting language for emergency calls? What if
someone upgraded your version of (for example) perl, so that now your
AGI doesn't work?? or some module has been removed etc...

 If I recall correctly, seems like someone was taking about adding
 global variables into asterisk, but I don't recall how global those
 might be (if they are even there right now). That might also be a
 way to track number of outstanding 911 calls.

Again, how do you remove that global variable ?? I thought about those
two option before discarding them and proposing the above If you
could let me know why you think global variables or db values are
'better' I'd appreciate it.

Adam

Probably a better way to do that is to use group=17 within the
zapata.conf definitions for zap/1, zap/4, and zap/5. Then use 
something like 
 exten = 911,1,Dial(Zap/g17/${EXTEN})

In your example above, if ChanIsAvail(Zap/1) finds that Zap/1 is
unavailable, then priority 102 will be executed. However, what do
you want to happen if Zap/1 is available (at least from asterisk's
perspective), but the pstn line on Zap/1 doesn't process the call
for whatever reason?

If you're doing the above for a home system, you can probably handle
failures in lots of different ways. But, if you're doing this for
a business client, the above approach will leave you open for a
fair number of legal liability issues when it doesn't work as 
expected.

Just as a simple test, disconnect the pstn line from Zap/1 and
see what happens when a call is placed.

If Zap/5 is the least-used line, dial that one first :)  Other than
that, you could use a dial-group as someone else suggested.

[Asterisk-Users] 911 Options

2005-05-15 Thread Ira Burton
I am curious if anybody has pointers on the best way to get the 7
digit PSAP number for an area.  I am thinking about making a '911'
extension that will dial the PSAP number, wait for the PSAP to answer
and play a message giving the address of the originating call, and 
replay the the information every three minutes.  I am concerned what
may happen if my children try to dial 911 in an emergency but do not
yet know our address.

How are other people handling this?

You can buy them on CD, however to do E911 you have to have a special
trunk to the switch that the PSAP is off of, which transmits the E parts
of E911 not just the audio. 

Where to buy them I dont know offhand, I do specifically recall seeing
pages that sold national CDs (how adt, onstar, even other PSAPs contact
a specific PSAP when needed).

I do remember that I was googling psap administrators and other such
things.
