Effective planning for Enhanced 9-1-1 requires that you take
into account the following:
- Prerequisites for deploying E9-1-1.
- Steps that are required to deploy E9-1-1.
Deployment Prerequisites for
E9-1-1
Before you deploy E9-1-1, you must already have
deployed your Microsoft Lync Server 2010 internal servers,
including either a Front End pool or a Standard Edition server, and
Lync Server 2010 clients. In addition, an E9-1-1 deployment
requires a SIP trunk to a certified emergency services provider.
Lync Server only supports using E9-1-1 with certified emergency
services providers located inside of the United States.
Deployment Process
The following table provides an overview of the E9-1-1
deployment process. For details about deployment steps, see

Configure Voice Routes

- Create a new PSTN usage record. This is the same name that is
used for the PSTN Usage setting in the Location Policy.
- Create a new voice route using the PSTN usage record created in
the previous step and point to the SIP trunk.
- Optionally, create a local route for calls that are not handled
by the emergency services provider’s SIP Trunk.
