Most of the tenants in the condominium building ( 30 units), use their cell phones for most of their calling. Since this is the case, most of them have elected not to get local service from Verizon, as they really don't use it for most of their calling and at $34 a month for something that rarely gets used..... However, there are a couple of situations where they need access to POTS,
- TiVO
- Building Front Door dialer and multiple tenants in same residence( roommates, husband/wife, etc. )
- 911 Service
- Some local area calling within same free calling area
So, the building would like to offer limited use POTS to all residents/tenants for free.
Incoming calls would be via DID lines. POTs FXO? ISDN BRI? Outgoing calls are routed according to routing table:
a. 800/888/877/866 and calls to TiVO service would be via ISDN BRI b. Local 202 NPA via standard residential POTS c. 911 calling needs to exit out DID FXO port(s) d. 1010xxx and all other calls would be blocked
So, assuming I can order by-directional ( hybrid ) DID lines and set the call routing to route all 911 calls out DID ports, will PBX send out the CID info to the PSAP ( 911 call center ) for that individual line right? I need each number to be mapped to a different location when I order the DID numbers and it must show up past the switch when someone calls 911. Or am I doing/thinking about this wrong? Anyone else know how to get 911 info out DID lines or an alternate way? How are other businesses/tenant dwellings doing/setting up the 911 stuff, when you have a big building and multiple floors and rooms?
