Emergency Services - Local Notification Operation

The following table describes the type of alarm notification a console, digital display set, or ONS CLASS/CLIP set will receive.  For consoles, the table below shows the results expected if both the Emergency Call Notification - Audio and Emergency Call Notification - Visual COS options are enabled in the Class of Service Options form.

For digital display sets or ONS CLASS/CLIP sets to receive local notification, they must be programmed in a hunt group that has a Group Type set to "Emergency". See Hunt Groups.

Responding to Emergency Call Notification

Only one attendant console or digital display set per triggered system can access local notification details at a time. Other attendants or display-set users attempting to access the details receive a message indicating that the data is currently being displayed on another console or digital display set. If an attendant or display-set user views the local notification details for more than 1 minute without taking any action at the console or display set, the emergency call information becomes available to other designated attendants or digital display set users. If a user attempts to look at emergency call notification details and receives a message that another user is currently looking at the data. This message is cleared after 30 seconds.

Subsequent users that respond see the identity of the first user that responded. If a user views an alarm for more than 15 seconds without pressing softkeys, the emergency call information becomes available to other sets.

Emergency Services Operation on ONS Sets

The audio emergency call notification on the idle set will be the same ring cadence that is used on a regular call. Because there is no distinguishing ring, the set must support Caller Name Identity (CNAM) and have a Class of Service with CNAM enabled in order to determine that the call is an emergency call.

To respond to an emergency call notification during idle state:

1. Go off-hook to stop the ringing and acknowledge the emergency call. (Caller identification information is sent after the first ring.)

2. This acknowledgement will terminate the notification on all of the CLASS/CLIP sets designated as emergency call monitor devices.

3. After receiving the caller ID information but before acknowledgement by going off-hook, the set is placed in a Do Not Disturb state to prevent interruption. The DND state is removed after the notification process to the CLASS/CLIP set ends.

4. Note: In the case of multiple emergency call notifications, acknowledgement will temporarily stop the ringing, and then it will ring again and present the next emergency call in the queue.

To respond to an emergency call notification during busy state:

1. If the set supports Calling Identity Delivery on Call Waiting (CIDCW) and the feature is enabled the set's Class of Service, the user will hear the alert tone.

2. The alert tone is followed by the campon tone.

3. Finally, the display will present the waiting party information.

4. If possible, terminate the current call and go on-hook. If the emergency call is still present, the user will receive the notification again.

5. Follow the idle state handling procedures, described above.

6. Note: In the case of multiple emergency call notifications, the busy set is presented with the first emergency call notification only.

To clear an alarm:

• An ONS set may not clear an emergency call notification alarm. Only a console or digital set may clear an alarm.

• Note: If a CLASS/CLIP set acknowledges the notification, consoles and digital sets continue to receive notification until all emergency call notifications are cleared.
