As part of the SBC Edge Web Interface's built-in step-by-step setup configuration wizard, the Tasks > Emergency Services option enables you to configure Emergency Services.

Below details a sample configuration for E911 (Emergency Services), along with the resulting WebUI configuration options that are created.

Configuration options created as a result of E911 Changes

The E911 Elin number from the "CompanyName" field configured in Lync location services is used as the authoritative Call Back number for outgoing E911 calls, and is always the preferred configuration. Specifically, it will take precedence over any Callback Number number configuration in Lync Setup. For more information, see Creating and Modifying Entries to Transformation Tables.

Transformation Table

A Transformation entry is created for Lync E911, which includes table entries for Called Address/Number, ELIN Identifier, and Callback Pool Identifier (the emergency call back number table or Pasthrough ELIN number used for calls destined to 911). For specific information about the Passthrough ELIN Number, see Creating and Modifying Entries to Transformation Tables.

For easy identification, the Description field matches the Scenario description you configured in Lync Setup. For more information about Transformation Tables, see Managing Transformation Tables.
