Adding a Geographic Location

Each time a new geographic location is added to your MiCloud system, emergency registration for the location is initiated automatically using the address information provided for the geographic location. The address for the location is registered with emergency services and an emergency outbound caller ID (callback number) is created for the location.

You must also create an emergency hunt group for each geographic location registered with emergency services. Emergency hunt groups are used to route return calls from emergency services. See Configuring Emergency Hunt Groups for more information.
