How do I test by dialing 911, are there any specific instructions?

For testing we prefer users to dial 922. However, when 911 needs to be tested we recommend the following action to be taken. How to Test: For testing your E911 number, we strongly recommend calling our E911 DB Verification service by calling 922@sip.bulkvs.com which will verify your Caller ID number and the adddress that would be used in case of a real emergency call In the rare case that you wish to speak to a live emergency operator to verify the information that the operator receives, please use the script below. Please note that some localities require you to schedule E911 test calls in advance and will charge penalties otherwise. You should check with your local authorities before placing any unscheduled E911 test calls. Do not call during the busy hour of lunch or between 4:00-6:00pm. Try to call during off hours such at 6:00am. Testing Script: --Hello, this is a non-emergency call, I'm making a Voice-Over-IP test call. Do you have a moment to verify my emergency information or can we schedule a later time to do so? --Did you receive ANI information? What number do you show? (confirm that this matches the caller-ID/DID number that you expected to send) --Were you able to retrieve ALI information? Can you verify the address that is displayed? (confirm that this matches your intended emergency address) --Do you show my Call Back Number? (confirm that this matches the caller-ID/DID number that you expected to send) --Does the information on your display appear in the proper fields? (the operator should answer yes, which confirms that none of the information fields appeared ordered incorrectly, e.g. the street number in the city field) --Thank you for your time, we may be placing a couple more test calls today.

The Specifics of Enhanced 911

So, how exactly does our E911 system work? To put it simply: incoming 911 calls are routed to Public Safety Answering Points, also known as PSAPs, of which there are thousands across the US. These are call centers operated by local authorities.

What happens at a PSAP when using E911?

At these centers, a specialist call handler - a 911 dispatcher - answers the call. They then receive information from the phone company via computer about the physical 911 service address if the call is coming in via landline, or the geographic coordinates of the caller for calls from wireless devices.

This then enables the dispatcher to send emergency services - whether medical, police, or fire - to wherever they are needed.

Assign a Physical Address to Your Number

An Enhanced 911 system gives you more than just sending your address or location to the emergency dispatcher - it gives you time when you make the call to communicate the most important details of the situation and save time without having to describe your location, especially during those emergencies when every second counts.

Dynamic Location Routing 911

Bulk Solutions Dynamic E911 Routing provides emergency call routing and location capabilities based on the location of the user..

How Does It Work?

Say your customer has a hotel with the main number 3105551000 and 10 rooms at the address 1001 ACME RD Los Angeles, CA 90001.

In the past each room would be given their own number for E911 purposes where the address is sent along with the room number.

Room 1001 would have the number 3105551001
1001 ACME RD Room 1001 Los Angeles, CA 90001
Room 1002 would have the number 3105551002
1001 ACME RD Room 1002 Los Angeles, CA 90001
etc...

With the Bulk Solutions Dynamic E911 service and using a simple X-Header, you could send the room number Dynamically! No need to provision 100 E911 endpoints.

Provision one number 3105551000 and send the room number dynamically
X-ng911: Room 1001

When the call reaches the operator they will see the telephone number and the address with the room number.

How Does This Help You Become Compliant?

As you may know, Ray's Baum's Act will soon require 911 calls from Multi-Line Telephone Systems (MLTS) to include a "dispatchable location" to the PSAP. That means, along with street address, additional information, such as Room, Suite, Apartment number or similar must be provided to the PSAP so that Emergency Responders can quickly reach a person who needs help. This solution will help you work towards becoming compliant
