Emergency Response Location

The Emergency Response Location (ERL) is the location of where an emergency responder will be dispatched to.  This location should be specific enough that the responder can quickly location the caller.  Why do we have this?  With most phones going the way of VoIP, an ERL make it possible to assign a group of phones to a zone within a building.

Within each building you will create the ERLs.  When you create a set, it will be assigned into the ERL.
