What is ELIN and Why it Should be
...
Implemented On Your Network
An Emergency Location Identification Number or ELIN is a way for an organization to link a ten-digit phone number to location information for calls to emergency services via a network configuration setting.
...
- Each ELIN should be a distinct ten-digit phone number that appears in your NocTel account.
- The e911 address listed for a phone number used as an ELIN should be updated and accurate. (The address listed for the phone number in the control panel is what is uploaded to PSAP databases for emergency location.)
- LLDP and LLDP-MED must be enabled on switches.
- ELIN should not be used for individual rooms or floors, only for specific postal addresses. (Support for a suite, floor, and room information is in development, and will be handled differently.)
