Sangoma Phone Desktop Client Emergency Location
About Emergency Location
The Emergency Location feature enables a Sangoma Phone Desktop Client user to hide the real CID number shown at the receiving end and instead use a custom DID number based on the chosen Location when an emergency number is dialed from the Desktop Client.

Sangoma Phone Desktop Client
The Emergency Location option is available under Settings in the Desktop Client. User can select the Emergency Location to be used while making an emergency call from the Desktop Client. If None option is selected then Emergency Location feature will be disabled.
The Emergency Location feature will be hidden when the Making Calls With feature is enabled and the selected option is NOT Desktop Client. This is because for all other options the call will be made from some other device and not from Desktop Client.
NB: The option Additional Location Info is not used at present. This value is meant to be send along with the emergency call. But as of now asterisk doesn't have support for such a feature. So this will be implemented once the PIDF-LO feature in released in asterisk.
