Re: Official Cisco E911 Guidance [ In reply to ]
They must teach this give-a-related-but-otherwise-bogus-answer thing in
marketing 101.

From the Q&A:

*Q. What version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) will include
direct 911 dialing?*
*A. Starting with UCM Releases 11.5 SU8 and 12.5 SU3, Cisco has added
configuration guidance for direct 911 dialing route patterns as part of the
installation.*

From the blog:

*Since direct dialing to 911 is available in any version of Cisco UCM,
Cisco recommends that all customers configure their existing deployments to
support a direct 911 dialing pattern, which is accomplished easily in any
version of UCM. *

Re: Official Cisco E911 Guidance [ In reply to ]
The way I’ve read things the only thing you must do if you have an existing system is make 911 directly dialable, all the other parts technically depend on you doing an upgrade or for new installs.

They appear to deliberately avoid the question of what qualifies as an upgrade….

Yes, I noted that language which was probably carefully vetted for liability.

They also were careful about recommendations, suggestions, etc to avoid “Cisco said”.

There’s some interpretation that seems to be around “improvements”, but, I believe some of that is taking that word at face value and not referring back to the FCC’s clarification on it.

Certainly going to be a hot topic of discussion for a minute (and was in some circles leading up) depending on liability.

Still careful too to say sure we can monitor Jabber (*on wifi)

Re: Official Cisco E911 Guidance [ In reply to ]
The big issue with this document is the recommendation of adding a delay as
an option which seems to be a legal gray area. I asked Cisco about this
and they aren't considering this a legal document and still suggest
checking with your own corporate legal team on guidance.
