CTI route point you defined to receive calls from the public safety answering point (PSAP). For example, 913XXXXXXXXXX (913 plus ten Xs).
The number can only consist of numbers and Xs.
For more information, see the "Creating the Emergency Call Route Points" section.
ELIN Digit Strip Pattern
Digits to strip from the beginning of the PSAP Callback Route Point Pattern, for example, 913. The number that results from stripping the pattern should be the ELIN numbers that the PSAP can use to call into your network.
This string must be part of the PSAP Callback Route Point Pattern.
UDP Port Begin
Port numbers that are used by CTI ports during their registration.
The range is 1024 to 65535.
Inter Cisco ER Group Route Pattern
Route pattern that other Cisco ER groups will use to route emergency calls to this group, for example, 1000.911.
The pattern can only consist of numbers and dots.
For a more detailed explanation of this number. see the "Creating Route Patterns for Inter-Cisco Emergency Responder-Group Communications" section.
IP Type of service (00-FF)
Value of the Type of Service (TOS) byte in the IP header. The default 0xB8 implies a TOS class of Priority Queue. It is recommended that this default value be used for Cisco ER.
The TOS value entered here only applies to the RTP packets sent by CER for the onsite audio alert feature.
Onsite Alert Prompt Repeat Count
Number of times the prompt is played on the onsite alert phone.
Use IP Address from call signaling
If this parameter is enabled, Cisco ER will obtain the IP address of the phone from JTAPI. This parameter will be used to route the call. Thus, if an IP subnet is configured for the phone, this parameter setting will take precedence over any other manual configuration.
If this parameter is disabled, Cisco ER will use the manual configuration of the phone to route the call.
This field is applicable only if Cisco ER is configured with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0 and above.

Table A-10 describes the Add New ERL and ERL Information pages.
Table A-10 Add New ERL and ERL Information Pages
ERL Settings
ERL Name
The name of the ERL. The naming strategy you use is critical. The ERL name is one of the primary pieces of information your security team will see when alerted to an emergency call. If the name is easy to understand and very descriptive, it can help your team respond quickly to a call.
For example, if you are creating an ERL for each floor in a three story building called Building J, your ERL names might be BldgJ-Floor1, BldgJ-Floor2, BldgJ-Floor3.
Work with your security team to develop and ERL naming strategy.
You cannot change the name of an existing ERL. To change an ERL name, create a new ERL, then delete the old ERL.
Any leading and trailing spaces will be trimmed.
Description
Enter a description of the new ERL (optional).
Test ERL (Used for Synthetic Testing)
Click this checkbox if this ERL is used for testing. Test ERLs can be used when Cisco ER is being monitored by CiscoWorks IP Telephony Environment Monitor (ITEM).
This setting is not available on the ERL Information for Default; default ERLs may not be used as test ERLs.
ELIN Settings
The combination of a route pattern and a telephone number that jointly route the emergency call to the PSAP and provide the PSAP with a call-back number if the PSAP needs to call the emergency caller after disconnecting the call.
Each ERL must have unique ELINs. The number of ELINs you define determines how many callbacks you can support. ELINs are used in order as emergency calls are made, and recycled as needed. For example, if you define two ELINs for an ERL, and three emergency calls are made, the PSAP will not be able to recontact the first emergency caller.
However, concurrent emergency calls are not limited by the number of ELINs: you could have ten active emergency calls even if you only have two ELINs. The number of ELINs only controls PSAP callback capability.
Route/Translation Pattern
The phone number, defined as a route pattern in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, that is configured to use the gateway the call should be routed through to get to the correct PSAP. This number must include the external emergency number, such as 911 in the USA. For example, 10.911 or 10911. The pattern can only contain numbers and dots.
ELIN Number
The unique phone number that routes the call to the correct local PSAP and which the PSAP can use to recontact an emergency caller if the call is hung up. This number must be a DID (direct inward dial) number provided by your service provider; that is, it must be routeable on the PSTN. Enter the entire number, including area code, such as 4085551212, 408-555-1212, 408.5551212, or (408)555-1212. The number can only contain numbers, single hyphens, dots, or parentheses.

SNMP Settings
The SNMP Settings page appears when you select Phone Tracking > SNMP Settings.
Authorization Requirements
You must have system administrator or network administrator authority to access this page.
Description
Use the SNMP Settings page to define the SNMP read community string used by your switches.
Table A-14 describes the SNMP Settings page.
Table A-14 SNMP Settings Page
Add SNMP Community Setting
IP Address/Host Name
The IP address or host name of a switch whose SNMP read community string you are defining.
If you use the same read community string for all switches, you only need to define one entry: *.*.*.*.
If you use different read community strings for sets of switches, you can define each set, using variables and ranges. For example, if you have 10 switches from 10.1.115.0 to 10.1.125.0, you can use 10.1.115-125.0 as the IP address. You can also mix ranges and variables, such as *.*.115-125.*.
You are not defining your switches on this page, you are only associating IP address patterns to read community strings. Cisco Emergency Responder (Cisco ER) only tries to use the string with the specific switches you identify on the LAN Switch Details page. See the "LAN Switch Details" section for more information.
If two or more patterns match an IP address, Cisco ER uses the SNMP string associated with the most closely matching pattern.
Timeout
The time, in seconds, in which Cisco ER should consider an attempted SNMP connection to a switch to have failed. See the explanation of Retries for more information.
Default is 10 seconds. The optimal value is 10 to 15 seconds.
Maximum Retry Attempts
The number of times Cisco ER should attempt to contact a switch.
With each retry, the previous timeout is multiplied by 2, to ensure the switch has enough time to respond. For example, if you specify 10 for timeout, the first attempt times out in 10 seconds, the second attempt times out in 20 seconds, the third attempt times out in 40 seconds, and so forth.
Default is 2 retries. This number does not include the initial attempt; that is, if retries is 2, Cisco ER will attempt to contact a switch up to 3 times (the initial attempt plus 2 retries).
The optimal value is 2 to 3 retries.
Read Community
The SNMP read community string for the switch.
Default is public for any IP address not covered in the SNMP settings list.

Export PS-ALI Records
The Export PS-ALI Records page appears when you select Tools > Export PS-ALI Records.
Authorization Requirements
You must have system administrator or ERL administrator authority to access this page.
Description
Use the Export PS-ALI Records page to create a file in a NENA format that you can send to your service provider. Your service provider uses this file to update their ALI data for your organization. Your service provider needs this information so that emergency calls from your ERLs can be routed to the correct public safety answering point (PSAP).
Always submit an export file to your service provider. If you skip submitting an export file, subsequent export files might not have correct command information for the database update, and you will have to manually edit the export file to make it uploadable. Your service provider can provide you with error information if the database upload fails.
Note
You can also use export files to back up your ERL configuration.
Table A-45 describes the Export RS-ALI Records page.
