Defining Emergency Response Locations

The MCS location infrastructure allow the provisioning of location trees for a
domain. Initially, a system administrator defines a group of locations. Some of
these locations can be defined as an Emergency Response Location (ERL), while
others remain as a location.
When a 911 call is initiated, the MCS system verifies whether the user's location
is defined as an ERL. If not, the system attempts to find the closest location that
was defined as an ERL and uses that information to route the call.
