nVX Dynamic E911 User Guide
January 31, 2022
Overview
In the event of an emergency call, the system needs your location information and a callback number to provide this information to the 9-1-1 Operator. When you are working for a corporate location, your administrator may have already defined the location information to be used for Emergency Services. When you are working remote, you will be prompted to enter / validate your location.
Note: For User Portal users, the location information will only be required you are in Web mode
If location information identification fails, the domain’s default location will be used.
