Procedure

The procedure when initiating the emergency notification feature for one emergency notification group comprises the following steps.

• Select customer numbers for analog, digital, and IP (SIP or H.323) phones to be included in an emergency notification group.

• Initiate a digital phone or IP terminal, the Special Emergency Notification Terminal (SENT), with automatic answer. For installations using live voice emergency messages, connect the headset connector output of the SENT to the Music-on-Hold input of the TMU board.

• Initiate an empty group hunting group number with a customer number and its category data.

• Initiate a group hunting group number and its category data. Add the SENT as a member of the group.

• Initiate generic extensions to be used as emergency numbers.

• Initiate personal number lists for the generic extensions.

For installations supporting broadcasts using several emergency numbers, the group hunting group dedicated to the SENT must not be included in the personal number list for each emergency number. Instead, it must be included in the personal number list of a separate emergency notification group. For more information, see the Including Several Emergency Numbers in a Broadcast chapter in the Emergency Notification Description.
