Pre-empting Existing Calls for E9-1-1 Calls
If the ELIN device receives an E9-1-1 call from the IP network and there are unavailable channels (for example, all busy), the device immediately terminates one of the non-E9-1-1 calls (arbitrary) and accepts the E9-1-1 call on the freed-up channel:
■ | Preemption is done only on a call belonging to the same source IP Group from which the E9-1-1 call is received, or the same destination IP Group (i.e., PSAP Server). |
This feature is initiated only if the received SIP INVITE message contains a Priority header set to "emergency", as shown below:
Priority: emergency
