E911 Notification

When someone dials 911 in your facility you need to know.

The Very First Responders Could Come From Inside Your Facility.

E911 On-site notification service allows the assignment of phone numbers or extensions to be recognized by the UCX as Emergency Numbers.

Notifications to these parties are initiated immediately after the call to the emergency service is started. The notification includes the caller’s extension, caller’s name, and the emergency number dialed. Support personnel can:

  • Automatically receive phone calls to one or more numbers, including a page group
  • Receive emails at one or more internal or external email addresses
  • Receive SMS/text messages at one or more devices
  • Barge-in: Designated personnel will be able to dial a feature code, password, and extension number of the 911 caller and listen to and talk to the caller.

How It Works

1. Someone dials 911
2. System notifies 911 center

3. Selected devices called

4. Selected emails sent
5. Notifications logged in server database
