Emergency Telephone (#311)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies an emergency telephone
extension. When a user lifts the handset of an emergency phone, a
predetermined outside number is dialed automatically. The emergency phone
number might be, for example, the fire department, police, or a poison control
center. The emergency phone must be a standard phone, not a system phone.
After you identify an emergency phone extension, you must also store the
emergency phone number as Personal Speed Dial code 80. Both procedures
are included in “Programming” on the next page.
Related Features
It is recommended that you also add this emergency telephone number to
the
Emergency Phone Number List (#406).
Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign outside lines to the emergency
phone extension and Automatic Line Selection to set the extension to
select outside lines first.
You can set Line Ringing to No Ring for all lines assigned to the emergency
phone extension to prevent incoming calls from ringing at the extension.
Make sure there are no call or line restrictions assigned to an emergency
phone extension. See Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) and Line Access
Restriction (#302).
Remove emergency phone extensions from Night Service Group
Extensions (#504), Calling Group Extensions (#502), and Hunt Group
Extensions (#505).
Considerations
A standard phone without a keypad is recommended for use as the
emergency phone.
You can identify several extensions as emergency phone extensions.
You should not assign an emergency phone to extensions 10, 16, 22, 28, 34,
40, 46, and 52 to keep them available for power failure use.
This procedure does not apply to system phones.
