Since Release 5.00 has multiple ESDNs, can I program 9-911 as a second ESDN?

NO! Doing so will break your E911 configuration!!

A little know fact is that the DDGT prompt is ONLY used for CAMA trunks out of the PBX. It is NOT used for PRI trunk types.

Therefore if you programmed 9-911 as a second ESDN as follows:

Code: 
LD 24
REQ  CHG
TYPE ESA
CUST 0

ENTR 0
  ESDN 9911
  RLI 911
  DDGT 911

This would actually pass 9911 out of a PRI since the DDGT parameter is ignored!

DO NOT DO THIS OR YOU WILL BREAK YOUR E9-1-1 DIALING!!
