Before the Emergency Call

Devices are assigned a location by end-users or organization administrators in the 9Line portal.

For Webex hardware endpoints, location is retrieved automatically via the HELD+ protocol — no manual entry needed. For RFC 5985-compliant physical desk phones, location is retrieved using standards-based RFC HELD. For all other device types, granular dispatchable location is validated and synchronized with your BroadWorks instance by writing a token to the location field, ready to be assigned when a 911 call is made.

When an Emergency Call Occurs

BroadWorks emergency calling configuration sends the call, with the location token, via the carrier’s SIP SBC to 9Line.

9Line receives the call over the top via the Internet, securely encrypted if desired, to the highly available, active-active 9Line session border controllers.

9Line inserts metadata containing the address information set earlier by the user or administrator and a temporary DID is assigned. The call is presented to the responsible PSAP with the dynamic metadata.

In Case of Disconnect

The PSAP will attempt to call back the temporary DID assigned previously.

9Line converts the call to the original calling party number and sends the call back to the originating SBC, and then the BroadWorks instance, connecting the 911 dispatcher to the original TN or extension.
