Before publishing the Location database you must validate new locations against the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) maintained by the Emergency Services Provider.

For more information about Emergency Service Providers, see Routing an Emergency Call.

For more information validating addresses, see the Communications Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

Get-CsLisServiceProvider
Set-CsLisServiceProvider
Remove-CsLisServiceProvider
Get-CsLisCivicAddress
Test-CsLisCivicAddress

To validate addresses located in the location database

Open Communications Server Management Shell.

Run the following cmdlets to configure the Emergency Service Provider connection.

	Copy Code
$pwd = Read-Host –AsSecureString <password> Set-CsLisServiceProvider -ServiceProviderName Provider1 -ValidationServiceUrl <URL provided by provider> -CertFileName <location of certificate provided by provider> -Password $pwd

Copy Code

$pwd = Read-Host –AsSecureString <password>
Set-CsLisServiceProvider -ServiceProviderName Provider1 -ValidationServiceUrl <URL provided by provider> -CertFileName <location of certificate provided by provider> -Password $pwd

Run the following cmdlet to validate the addresses in the location database.
