How do I trace a dialed 911 phone call to the originating phone?

My company has just deployed a CME at a new location and we had one user call 911. I know this is a regular occurance but my manager has asked me to find out which phone it came from? I can see from the logs what time it happened but how do I trace back to the user who made the call? Any useful commands would be appreciated as I am new to call manager.
Thank you!

000281: May 13 16:09:22.206 PDT: %ISDN-6-DISCONNECT: Interface Serial0/0/0:9  disconnected from 911 , call lasted 1 seconds
000282: May 13 16:09:42.786 PDT: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0/0/0:0 is now connected to N/A N/A

errant 911 calls can become annoying and expensive once the police decide to charge you for dispatches.  The only real way to prevent this is to have the user stay on the line and tell the operator that it was a mistake. Very few places require a dispatch in that situation but if the users are embarrassed or scared then simply hang-up on the 911 operator then they usually callback or dispatch or both.
Here is a dirty way to keep track of this problem and it will only cost you a phone.
Set up a Line on a phone and call it extension 911, then another for extension 9911.
Set RNA to 2 seconds or 3 seconds then forward to 8.911
Set 8.911 (or a variation that does not step on your dial plan) to strip the 8. and call 911
Now when someone calls 911 or 9911 it will be recorded on your emergency phones Missed Call log.
Now comes the real dirty part.  Call the user back and ask if they are ok.  Then explain to them, innocently, that it costs a lot of money when you hang-up on the 911 Operator. Then tell them you are glad they are ok and not in danger and that lots of people make this error (empathy). I guarantee you that this person will not make the same mistake again once they know they can be tracked.  Internal shame is stronger than external embarrassment.
Now go look at the old Berbee InformaCast product or the IPCelerate product or any host of other E911 features that will send an immediate email when 911 is called, complete with Caller Info and time.

  • How do I re-install Adobe Photohop Elements 8 from the original diskette?

    How do I re-install Adoboe Photoshop Elements 8 from the original diskette.  All the diskette wants to do is to uninstall the program.  [If I did this would I lose all my photos?]
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    no, you won't lose your photos.  but you might want to prepare your catalog for migration, http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • How I can trace my lost I phone 5

    Hello
    I have lost my I phone 5 is anyone know how to trace it as I tried it through
    iCloud but it will only work when other person will use the Internet and I have so
    Some important data in it so kindly help me out to either trace or block my phone.

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • How do I edit pictures on an iPhone5 without loosing the original?

    1. My original picture is GONE! I had one picture of six of my aunts all together.  I wanted to crop each of their faces out of the original picture and save each as a separate file to  associate with their contact information.  This was "as easy as pie" on my android phone, but with the iphone, once I clicked on "edit", cropped out the first subject and saved it, The original picture was gone -- or at least somewhere that I don't know where it went to!!!  On my previous phone (android htc rezound) each edit of any picture was saved without erasing the original picture. HELP!
    2.  When choosing a picture to go with a contact, sometimes I can't get the part of the picture I want in the circle.  I can get it big enough, but when I let go it sometimes goes back to a size that is too small!    Can someone help me tell me how to do this, or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ony exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How to respond to Verison sharing my private calls with the government?

    Numerous news accounts on Broadcast television, cable news, the radio, and newspapers are reporting that Verizon releases ALL my Verizon business activity--phone call information and content, emails sent through Verizon Wireless Broadband, etc.--with the federal government as "Standard Operating Procedure".  I have a philosophical problem with supporting Soviet Union-style totalitarianism that spits in the face of Democracy, the United States Constitution, and everything that makes America a Great Nation.  Please provide me with the instructions I need to change my service to a non-Verizon service provider.
    Thank you.

    It gets worse...I just had my phone service interrupted and could not make an outgoing call until I made an immediate payment. There was a large roaming usage (above normal) and I had text and voice mail asking to call. When I called the prompts took me to an automated version of "pay me now or you cannot use your phone". I continued to push prompts until a real person came on, who then proceeded to want my payment then and there. My bill is and was not due, nor overdue and has never been such for 30 years! I do international travel and from time to time some countries have extremely high roaming  charges and I knew that going in. I would have paid promptly when the paper bill came in just as I have always done. Besides, my app is available for me to monitor usage, which I do...but Verizon has taken it upon themselves to take care of me and cut off my outgoing call capability before I "stiff" them....I guess that is their basis for changing the game without notifying their loyal customers. In the meantime what if I had to call 911 or some other emergency service. I would have had to pay first! This is the type of  "control" to the extent which our forefathers must have had that sparked the American Revolution.
    Say goodbye to Verizon and American freedoms!

  • How to get photos from one iPad two another keeping the original

    My mom bought an iPad 2  I want to transfer photos from my ipad 2 to her photo folder on her new iPad.  Not exactly sure how to do it. Hoping someone can advise me. Thanks

    Sending the photos over WiFi might be the easiest way for you to accomplish this. The Wireless Transfer App should work. You will both have to download the app on your own devices. Read about it here.

  • How can I reset my passcode, when I dont have the original code?

    My nieces were playing with Siri/phone and accidently set up a passcode on my phone, I can't unlock or open etc. Apple is no help at this moment.
    Tried troubleshooting with iTunes, but an error message states the iPhone can not be syncked because passcode is locked.,

    The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.

  • How to revert edited info for a purchased song to the original info it came with?

    I had purchased some songs from the iTunes Store and downloaded them to the computer, where I then edited their song info/metadata (e.g., artist name, composer, etc.). I now want to revert the song info/metadata to whatever they were before the editing (i.e., the song info/metadata as stored at the iTunes Store). Can I do that, and if so, how? Thanks.

    welcome to the mac side, im new also
    in windows we would right click and select 'properties' right?
    on apple you simply hold control 'ctrl' and then click on the folder you want, the control and click is macs equivanlent to windows' right click
    after you've 'ctrl' and clicked, select 'get info', get used to this 'get info' function as you'll probably use it alot, like i said, its like selecting 'properties' on windows
    another way of doing the control>click is clicking once on an item so that it is highlighted and then selecting 'file' at the top of your screen and then 'get info' too
    to view all pics in a slideshow yo simply highlight each one, or you can select multiple items by holding down the command key (⌘) then single clicking each pic you want to view, this selects it and then double clicking any one of them when they are all highlighted, in mac you will use the 'preivew' application which is an image viewer, sort of the replacement for your old 'windows fax and image viewer' on windows
    hope that helps

    5. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone Restrictions Passcode | The iPhone and iPad
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
              Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
              to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore or have forgotten your restrictions passcode, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
