Designing E911 Location IDs for Your Organization
Administrators can set up various E911 Location IDs (up to 10,000).
The strategy of how you implement E911 Location IDs will depend upon your unique business.
Some businesses may choose to set up location IDs for each building in a complex, something similar to this:
•
Location ID 10 - Building 315 West
•
Location ID 11 - Building 315 Warehouse
•
Location ID 20 - Building 316
•
Location ID 30 - Building 317
Or, if you have various branch offices, your Location ID schema may look more like this approach:
•
Location ID 1 - San Jose
•
Location ID 2 - Palo Alto
•
Location ID 3 - Redwood City
•
Location ID 4 - Sunnyvale
Another organization may choose to create different E911 Location IDs for each floor of a large office building,
similar to this approach:
•
Location ID 1 - Basement/garage
•
Location ID 2 - Floor 1
•
Location ID 3 - Floor 2
•
Location ID 4 - Floor 3
Yet another schema could be to implement E911 Location IDs by the type of use of various building sections,
by floor, similar to the following method. This convention uses the first digit as the floor and the second digit as
an area within that floor.
•
Location ID 11 - Warehouse
•
Location ID 12 - Floor 1 Lab 1
•
Location ID 13 - Floor 1 Lab 2
•
Location ID 14 - Floor 1 Shipping/Receiving
•
Location ID 15 - Floor 1 Manufacturing
•
Location ID 21 - Floor 2 Test Lab
•
Location ID 22 - Floor 2 Imaging
What's important is to come up with a set of entries that works for you, based upon your type of organization
and your geographic specifics.
