Making an emergency call

About this task
You do not have to be logged in to make an emergency call. If emergency calling was set up
by your system administrator, the Phone screen has an Emergency softkey to immediately
connect you with a preset emergency services number.
Your system administrator can configure the PHNMOREEMERGNUMS parameter in the
settings file for your extension with ten additional emergency numbers. If a user dials any one
of the specified emergency numbers, the deskphone will handle the call as an emergency call
even if the telephone is in the locked or unregistered state.
Avaya recommends that for phones connected to SES, only one emergency number should
be defined. For use with third-party gateways, refer the relevant Application Notes for
necessary provisioning to enable the configuration.
