Associating Emergency Notification Groups to Emergency Numbers
The generic extension used for an emergency number is associated with a personal number list. Normally, personal number lists are used for routing incoming calls to a number of extensions until the calls are answered, one at a time and starting with the first position in the list. For the emergency notification feature, the list instead defines 1-9 group numbers (emergency notification groups) to which the emergency notification is to be broadcasted.
The group hunting feature contains functions for emergency notification, why emergency notification groups in the personal number list are configured as group hunting groups. Each group is configured with a customer number.
The customer number associates the extension with the emergency notification group. Customer number 0 signifies all terminals, except terminals with customer number 50 000 which is reserved.
The personal number list also holds a group number dedicated to the emergency notification feature. The latter group number is always stored in the last position of the list.
When including several emergency numbers in a broadcast, this position must instead be placed in the personal number list of a separate emergency number. See chapter, Including Several Emergency Numbers in a Broadcast.
