911 question - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

jyape · 05-15-2008, 11:29 AM

I have an option 61c running 4.0 and was wondering if there was a way to be notified if 911 was dialed.
I do have OTM and this was supposed to be a feature according to the rep who sold this to us. OTM has alarm setting but I have no clue how to be notified of these alarms unless I look at the OTM alarm window, and that doesn’t report 911 calls.
I’m not OTM expert.
Any thoughts?

You can set up 1 OSN key on the system or you could use a system monitor of some sort (SEB whatever) that can monitor and trigger a page or email for specified events.

Omnitronix (now called asentria?) has a buffer box (Used for CDR records also) that can be programmed to monitor for all sorts of alarm codes including the OSN statment that spits out (assuming you have ESA programmed correctly)
and email, page, ftp, that information out to the world. I use one and send all 911 OSN call info to my security cells phones as text message, and email it to my antiquated PSAP (their request), so they know where the call originated.

Post back if you want more info....

PAA-2004-0179 States that OTM is not supported for E911 alerts.

Fletch,

Are you saying that a salesman lied?

I have real trouble believing that
