[http://pp.msu.edu/PlantBlastImgs/telecom/Banner-01a.jpg] Telecommunication Systems Newsletter Sept. 11, 2014 Did you know? The Michigan Emergency 9-1-1 Services Enabling Act, PA 32 of 1986, as amended by PA 271 of 2011, requires that multi-line telephone systems have the ability to identify the specific location of emergency calls no later than December 31, 2016. This enhanced 911 (E-911) technology allows 911 dispatchers to receive detailed information about the specific physical location of a caller in an emergency and includes a room number or other designation, not just a street address or building name. A large number of telephone systems in use at MSU were not designed to support this new E-911 technology requirement and therefore are not capable of providing the specific location of a 911 caller in an emergency. Telephone systems that are compliant include: On-Campus * Avaya-branded telephone systems with a unique campus 5-digit number on each telephone (excluding EDC/University Club Avaya system) * Biomedical and Physical Sciences building Nortel-branded systems * Stand-alone department systems that have been determined to be compliant in the past three years through direct communication with the IPF Telecom Systems (mostly non-academic units) or are scheduled to be compliant Off-Campus: * Avaya telephones billed via IPF Telecom Systems recurring billing in EBS (e.g. Lansing CCED, Secchia Center, VanAndel Institute, MSU Detroit and MSU COM DMC). If your unit does not appear to be compliant and to ensure that the university is compliant with the E-911 legislation by the deadline, please use the Infrastructure Planning and Facilities on-line service request<https://intra.pplant.msu.edu/apps/sro/request.aspx?pl=007010001> for a consultation.
