Contact Alerts For Skype 1.1

-->

In this case, you configure specially-crafted Skype for Business voice policies and assign them to the analog device contact objects so that E9-1-1 calls from those phones route directly through the local gateway to the PSTN provider that services the site (instead of routing the call to an E9-1-1 service provider SIP trunk). Skype emergency calling is enabled in the following countries/regions, platforms and versions of Skype Software: Skype for Windows 10, Skype for Windows, Skype for Mac, Skype for Linux: available in Australia, Denmark, Finland, and UK. You can assign a location to all users in your enterprise by using a global location policy. However, by assigning a location policy to a Skype for Business Server network site and then adding subnets to the site, you can limit E9-1-1 support to selected locations within the enterprise and specify E9-1-1 routing behavior on a per-site basis. Skype for Business includes a tagging feature that allows you to tag people for alerts when their status changes. The alert is a pop-up on your screen with the contact's picture and a message that tells you the status has changed. If the person you've tagged isn't already in your contacts list, they'll be added to it.

Decisions necessary for the location policy for an E9-1-1 deployment in Skype for Business Server Enterprise Voice, including which users to enable and how to support roaming users.

During client registration, Skype for Business Server uses a location policy to configure the E9-1-1 properties for Enterprise Voice-enabled users. This policy contains the settings that define how E9-1-1 is implemented. For example, the location policy contains information such as the emergency dial string, and whether or not a user is required to manually enter a location if the Location Information service does not automatically provide one. For a complete definition of a location policy, see Plan location policies for Skype for Business Server.

Skype for Business Server can assign a location policy to clients based on subnet, or to users based on a global, per-site, or per-user policy. To help decide how you will enable users, you should first answer the following questions.

Do you plan to enable all users, or limit support to specific geographic areas of the enterprise?

If users are assigned a global, site, or per-user location policy, they can be required to manually enter a location into the client if the client is not located within a defined subnet or no location has been found by the Location Information service.
