Having configured FreePBX on various systems over the past years, I still have little experience setting up E911.
Past systems had a "landline" connected that we "sent" our 911 calls out through. (Never had the need to dial 911 but, that is the way it was setup.)
My memory could be wrong so, I think I remember there being a dial pattern for "911" within the dial pattern listings for the outbound route. On my current system, until now, there has not been a 911 dial pattern. Now my provider offers a "911 test number" (922 in my case) to call, I had to add that number to my dial patterns to allow the test. Dialing this test number now reports the correct DID number associated for 911 emergency services location information.
So, this may seem like a really dumb question but, I now need to add "911" to my dial patterns for the associated "Emergency outbound route" or is this something that is part of some default dial pattern anywhere else within FreePBX? (All the legal requirements for E911 and the use of 911 for testing make me VERY uncomfortable, hence the question.)
