iPECS UCP
Feature Description and Operation Manual Issue 1.3
105
emergency outside Line is used to connect the ANI Link unit. The iPECS sends the Station
number, up to eight (8) digits, to the unit as DTMF digits. The ANI Link unit places a call to
the Emergency Center over a connected CAMA trunk. Caller Id and location information from
the ANI Link unit database is sent to the Emergency Center in the proper format and the
Station is connected to the call.
This feature also provides a means to identify a Power Failure signal from the ANI Link unit.
Typically, an ANI Link unit will incorporate a normally open contact that closes when power to
the unit fails. If a Power Failure signal is detected, iPECS routes emergency calls via outside
lines other than those marked for emergency call use until the Power Fail signal is removed.
Operation
Programming
Operation of this feature is automatic when assigned.
STATION DATA Common Attributes Emergency CO or Group, Proctor
Conditions
1. The system analog CO Lines connected to the ANI Link unit must be assigned to a
separate Line group and the individual Lines assigned for emergency service.
2. The ANI Link unit must be properly connected to a SLT port, an analog CO Line
port and on the same LAN as the iPECS UCP module.
3. The ANI Link unit must be properly installed and connected to a CAMA trunk from
the carrier service provider to send location information to the local Emergency
Center.
4. It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain the ANI Link unit number and
location database; there is no integration provided between the iPECS database
and the ANI Link unit.
5. During a power failure, if the ANI Link unit Power Fail normally open contacts are
connected to a system SLT port, the iPECS will recognize the fault and emergency
calls are not sent to the ANI Link unit. In this situation, emergency calls are sent
over normal outside lines connected to the system and the station digits are not
sent.
6. SMDR output will identify any call made via the Emergency Call feature, including
the success or failure of such calls.
