What do you want to test?

 

Call routing under certain failure scenarios or CAMA trunking?

 

We tested 911 to a “PRI” not connected to the PSTN that terminates on another gateway (back to back PRI) and make a dedicated handset ring using a dedicated pass through dial-peer. That way you can do the Q931 debugging on the far end gateway to make sure you have all the right ISDN signaling in place (assuming you are using ISDN, which makes sense if you are an office PBX)

 

CAMA trunking will require…. CAMA trunks…

 

As for 911 design… there are a number of ways of doing this depending on the hazard/failure you are trying to protect yourself from. You could go as far as dedicated 911 IADs using, for instance, Cisco’s SRST and if you are using IP Phones, set up the SRST gateway as the secondary call manager etc etc etc.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] E911 Testing !

 

I believe the 911 is a serious issue if one does an asterisk installation in an office. How do you test 911? Won’t they arrest you or something for dialing 911 for no reason and talking to one of their agents who could have taken a more important call?

 

On the other hand what an emergency comes up (like someone got seriously injured) and on top of that asterisk crashed all of a sudden bringing the whole office PBX down. Since it would be not be possible to place a call and emergency matter becomes more serious, who would be held responsible? The person who installed the PBX for not implementing a redundant and reliable system?
