Avaya J179 - Making an Emergency Call; Making an International Call

In an Open SIP environment, you can make an emergency call only when you are logged in to
your phone.
If your system administrator configures emergency calling for your phone, the Phone screen
displays the Emerg soft key.
Using the Emerg soft key, you can dial only the number that is given the highest priority by the
system administrator. Alternatively, you can dial the emergency numbers by using the dial pad in
the following cases:
• The Emerg soft key is unavailable.
• The Emerg soft key is available. You want to call an emergency number that is not the
highest priority number set by the system administrator.
In an IP Office environment, the Emerg soft key is not available. You must dial the emergency
number by using the dial pad.
