Click this host name (except for the local Server Group) to open the Emergency Responder administration page for that server in a new window.

Delete button

Click Delete to remove the Emergency Responder group you are viewing from the Emergency Responder cluster.

Only system administrators can delete a Emergency Responder group from the cluster.

Delete a group from the cluster before you uninstall a Emergency Responder group.

Emergency Responder Group Name

The name of the server group. This name is used for your information only, so create a name you find useful.

Peer TCP Port

The TCP port used for communications between Emergency Responder servers within the server group. If you don't want to use the default port, ensure you select an unused port.

The range is 1024 to 65535.

Heartbeat Count

The number of counts an Emergency Responder server should wait before declaring an unresponsive Emergency Responder server unavailable.

The default number of counts is 3. The range is 3 to 10.

The time between counts is defined in Heartbeat Interval.

Heartbeat Interval (in sec)

The number of seconds between sending heartbeat messages to the other Emergency Responder server in the server group.

The default is 30 seconds. The range is 30 to 300 seconds.

Active Call Timeout (in min)

How long to maintain a call route mapping so the PSAP can call back the emergency caller.

The default is 180 minutes (3 hours). The range is 30 to 1440 minutes.

SMTP Mail Server

The IP address or fully qualified name of the mail server (for example, email.domain.com).

Check the Enable Secured connection check box to send mails from the SMTP Mail Server in a secure mode.

Configure an email server if you want Emergency Responder to send email or email-based pages to security officers when an emergency call is made.

Ensure to configure the SMTP Mail Server in a secure mode and the SMTP server certificate is added to the Tomcat trust store of the Cisco Emergency Responder before enabling the check box. Failing to do so may result in email alert delivery failure.

The Port number for enabling Secure SMTP connection is 587. To set up a Secure SMTP connection, perform the following:

1. Exchange Cisco Emergency Responder Tomcat certificate chain to SMTP server's root certificate directory.

2. Upload SMTP server certificate chain as tomcat-trust certificates on Cisco Emergency Responder.

3. Restart Cisco Tomcat service on Cisco Emergency Responder servers using the CLI command utils service restart Cisco Tomcat.

Emails or pages sent to security come from this email account.

System Administrator Mail ID

Mail account where Emergency Responder sends critical information about the system.

Emails or pages sent to the system administrator by Emergency Responder come to this email account.

Calling Party Modification

Dynamic modification of the calling party number. Allows you to reduce the number of route patterns by configuring multiple ELIN numbers for a single route pattern. ELIN numbers must still be unique.

You must set this flag if you enabled Calling Party Modification when you created Emergency Responder as a Unified CM user.

Route Point for Primary Emergency Responder Server

The CTI route point that the primary server should use, such as 911.

See Create Emergency Call Route Points for more information.

Route Point for Standby Emergency Responder Server

The CTI route point that the standby server should use, such as 912. Configure this number as the call forward number for the primary emergency number.

See Create Emergency Call Route Points for more information.

PSAP Callback Route Point Pattern

CTI route point that you defined to receive calls from the public safety answering point (PSAP). For example, 913XXXXXXXXXX (913 plus ten Xs).

The number can only consist of numbers and Xs.

For more information, see Create Emergency Call Route Points.

ELIN Digit Strip Pattern

Digits to strip from the beginning of the PSAP Callback Route Point Pattern, for example, 913. The number that results from stripping the pattern should be the ELIN numbers that the PSAP can use to call into your network.

This string must be part of the PSAP Callback Route Point Pattern.

Default ELIN Digit Translation

ELIN number obtained after stripping 913 is matched to a callers extension. If the mapping is not found, Emergency Responder will translate ELIN to Default ELIN Digit Translation number and complete the PSAP Call-back.

The number could be a dialable extension number or a route pattern. If the number is not reachable the PSAP Call-back will receive a reorder tone.

UDP Port Begin

Port numbers that are used by CTI ports during their registration.

The range is 1024 to 65535.

Inter-Emergency Responder Group Route Pattern

Route pattern that other Emergency Responder groups use to route emergency calls to this group, for example, 1000.911.

The pattern can only consist of numbers and dots.

For a more detailed explanation of this number, see "Create route patterns for Inter-Cisco Emergency Responder Group Communications".

IP Type of service (00-FF)

Value of the type of service (ToS) byte in the IP header. The default 0xB8 implies a ToS class of Priority Queue. It is recommended that this default value be used for Emergency Responder.

The ToS value entered here only applies to the RTP packets sent by Emergency Responder for the onsite audio alert feature.

Onsite Alert Prompt Repeat Count

Number of times the prompt is played on the onsite alert phone.

Use IP Address from call signaling

If this parameter is enabled, Emergency Responder obtains the IP address of the phone from JTAPI. This parameter is used to route the call. If an IP subnet is configured for the phone, this parameter setting takes precedence over any other manual configuration.

If this parameter is disabled, Emergency Responder uses the manual configuration of the phone to route the call.

This field is applicable only if Emergency Responder is configured with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x and above.

When viewing a previously defined Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, Emergency Responder displays a CCM List link. Click CCM List to view a list of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers that belong to the same cluster as the selected server.

After the IP address or DNS name has been configured, it cannot be modified.

CTI Manager

The IP address or DNS name of the CTI Manager used by the specified Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

CTI Manager User Name
