Crisis Alert
The Crisis Alert feature provides a visual, audible, and printed record when users
place a call to the local emergency service agency. This gives hotel personnel the
ability to assist emergency personnel when they arrive at the hotel by identifying
where the call came from and when the call was made.
Other than the emergency call, which can be placed from any telephone on the
switch, all user operation occurs at the attendant console.
1. Someone dials the emergency services access code (for example, 911) from
a telephone on the switch.
■
The call routes to the local emergency service agency. The call does
not route to the attendant console.
■
The Position Available lamp goes off and the Pos Busy lamp goes
on. This prevents new incoming calls from interrupting this
emergency notification. All new incoming calls are queued and can
be answered after the emergency notification is processed.
■
The Crisis Alert lamp flashes.

The special emergency alerting tone starts.
■
The following displays at the attendant console:
■
The call information is logged in the switch and is printed on the
journal/schedule printer (if administered).
2. If you are currently on an active call, you may want to place that call on
hold so you can process the emergency notification.
3. Press the CRISIS ALERT button once.
