Workcloud Communication Voice Client 9x

Setting the Emergency Support Number

To accomplish this feature, three new configurations of Voice Client V9.0.24301 or later have been introduced, and those are not configured through the user interface.

Configuration String	Description	Type	Configuration Value
emergency_numbers	Configures one or multiple emergency numbers.	String	Emergency numbers are followed by commas. Default: empty
emergency_package_name	Configures the package name which is associated with a Broadcast Intent.	String	A valid package name Default: empty
emergency_class_name	Configures the class name which is associated with a Broadcast Intent.	String	A valid broadcast receiver class name. Default: empty

A key use case of supporting the emergency number feature is to enable the transmission of a device’s location information to emergency services during an emergency call. This can be achieved by utilizing the intent feature mentioned earlier, alongside a third-party service, such as a Critical Incident Management Application, as illustrated in the following diagram.

As shown in the following example, one must configure the parameters with valid information to use this feature through PVM, EXM, and XML.
