Kari’s Law

Kari’s Law applies to multi-line telephone systems (MLTS), which are telephone systems that serve in environments such as office buildings, campuses, and hotels. It requires MLTS systems in the United States to enable users to dial 911 directly, without having to dial a prefix to reach an outside line, and to provide a notification (e.g., to a front desk or security office) when a 911 call is made.

Ray Baum’s Act

Ray Baum’s Act requires that first responders have the necessary information needed to pinpoint the “dispatchable location,” and quickly reach a 911 caller regardless of the device they dial from, or their exact location inside a large building. Whether the calling device is wired, wireless, on-premise, or remote, if it connects to an MLTS it will fall under the FCC’s enforcement.

Alyssa’s Law

Alyssa’s Law is critical legislation addressing the issue of law enforcement response time when a life-threatening emergency occurs because time equals life. The law calls for the installation of silent panic alarms that are directly linked to law enforcement, so in case of any emergency they will get on the scene as quickly as possible, take down a threat and triage any victims.

CodeX

CodeX allows administration to set up groups of phones. Those groups can then be selected if an emergency arises, and a CodeX can be initiated. This will broadcast a prerecorded message to the selected groups. Upon hearing the announcement, a pin code must be entered within a limited time, either marking the room safe, unsafe, or unreported. Codex then displays the list of rooms and their status. This can be critical information for first responders when responding to a call.

Panic Button

A single button that instantly dials multiple programmed numbers and plays a pre-recorded message to the recipients. The phone then goes into a broadcast-only mode, allowing the people on the receiving end to note the location of the call, and hear what is transpiring in the room. The Panic Button™ is available in two different options, the standard method is a designated button on the phone itself. The other option is an add-on USB button that connects to the phone.

Silent Intercom

ClearlyIP has created Silent Intercom™ a system that allows administrators to activate a ClearlyIP CIP desk phone in the room and enable the microphone remotely. The phone, if not on another call, will auto-answer and activate the microphone on the phone without indicating it’s on an active call. This is a one-way connection, no sounds will be broadcast from the administrator’s extension to the room. Silent Intercom is another tool to help ensure you are prepared for an emergency.
