webex-calling

Verified 2026-09-24 · 64 sources · tier 1–5

For Webex Calling administrators configuring RedSky emergency calling across US and Canadian locations..

Webex Calling enhanced emergency calling with RedSky applies to locations in the United States, its territories, and Canada 55. Provisioning and validation require configuration across both Webex Control Hub and the RedSky administration portal 58.

Before you start

  • Confirm that target locations are in the United States, its territories, or Canada 55.
  • US Webex Calling users receive the RedSky service with their existing entitlement, whereas Canadian users require a separate RedSky license 59.
  • Open outbound HTTPS port 443 to api.wxc.e911cloud.com and wxc.e911cloud.com across enterprise voice and data networks 29 48.
  • Do not rely on Cisco Calling Plan trial accounts for operational emergency service, because trial emergency calling is limited to technical evaluation 9.

What changes by situation

Pick your answers to see only your path. Nothing is sent anywhere until you make a plan.

Does the organisation already have a RedSky account?
Which endpoints need a dispatchable location?
How do the RedSky-enabled locations reach the PSTN today?

Three questions. One permanent page you can send to your manager.

Step 1 Confirm scope, entitlement and network reachability

Do

Verify that network firewalls permit outbound traffic to https://api.wxc.e911cloud.com and https://wxc.e911cloud.com on port 443 29 48. Ensure that Canadian locations have RedSky licenses assigned and US users have their standard Webex Calling entitlement 59.

Verify

Suggested check: From the voice and data VLANs of each site, confirm that both e911cloud.com hosts can be reached over HTTPS.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Remove firewall exceptions if the project is discontinued.

Step 2 Create or link the RedSky account in Control Hub

No. Create one from Control Hub.

Do

Navigate to Services > PSTN & Routing > Settings > Enhanced Emergency Calling 45. Choose the option to create a new account, then enter the email address for the RedSky administrator login and the partner organisation ID 21.

Verify

Confirm receipt of the administrator credentials once RedSky provisioning finishes, which can take up to 2 business days 1. Log in to the RedSky administration portal using that email address 21.

Rollback

If emergency calls must be handled by the PSTN provider instead, select the option to opt the organisation out of RedSky, reverting to telephone-number-based emergency service 44.

Yes. Link the existing RedSky account.

Do

Navigate to Services > PSTN & Routing > Settings > Enhanced Emergency Calling 45. Select the option to log in to an existing account, then enter the partner administrator email, partner administrator password, and the RedSky Organization ID 27.

Verify

Verify that Control Hub accepts the credentials and shows the Enhanced Emergency Calling account as linked 27.

Rollback

If emergency calls must be handled by the PSTN provider instead, select the option to opt the organisation out of RedSky, reverting to telephone-number-based emergency service 44.

Step 3 Build buildings and locations in RedSky

Do

In the RedSky administration portal, configure each building using a validated civic street address, then configure sub-locations within each building such as floors or wings to establish a dispatchable location 7 13. Alternatively, evaluate the Control Hub toggle that automatically creates RedSky buildings and locations, which is disabled by default for Webex Calling customers 6.

Verify

Verify that every enabled Webex Calling location corresponds to a building and location profile in the RedSky portal, noting that emergency calls from missing locations are re-routed to emergency call relay centres 37.

Rollback

Delete unnecessary building and location entries directly in the RedSky portal, as deleting a location in Control Hub does not remove the corresponding building from RedSky 24.

Step 4 Build the network discovery wiremap

Do

In the RedSky administration portal, associate network discovery elements—such as IP subnets, switch chassis and ports, or wireless access point BSSIDs—with the configured E911 locations 60 30. Do not configure CDP, as CDP is unsupported for RedSky network discovery 10. Define subnet or switch associations to cover client computers connected to an IP phone pass-through port, because switch LLDP frames do not pass beyond the phone 47.

Verify

Confirm that all corporate subnets, BSSIDs, and switches map to locations, as RedSky relies on these wiremap definitions to detect caller location 60.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Remove or update the network element records in the RedSky administration portal.

Step 5 Configure on-site alerts in RedSky

Do

In the RedSky administration portal, configure emergency alert notifications to security teams via email, SMS, or desktop applications 50. Ensure alerting complies with federal MLTS requirements to notify a central location contemporaneously with the 911 call 15 16. Note that Control Hub also provides an independent emergency notification email, which is disabled by default, English-only, and delivered from a do-not-reply address 19.

Verify

Suggested check: Verify that emergency response recipients receive test notifications when emergency test calls are placed.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Remove or edit notification recipients and alerting rules in the RedSky portal.

Step 6 Run the Control Hub E911 location wizard

Do

In Control Hub, launch the location wizard for configuring emergency calling with RedSky 62. Step through and confirm each stage of completed RedSky portal work: update service settings, set up alerts, configure network elements, and enable emergency calling 62. Confirm during the wizard that alerts are configured in accordance with FCC regulations 61.

Verify

Verify that all confirmation checkpoints in the wizard complete successfully 62.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Adjust any misconfigured settings in the RedSky portal and re-run the wizard.

Step 7 Turn on location integration, but not routing yet

Do

In Control Hub, go to Management > Locations > (location) > Calling > Enhanced Emergency Calling 36. Turn on the service and enable the checkbox "Allow RedSky to receive network connectivity information and test calls" to allow MPP phones to reach test number 933 20. Reinitialise or resync HELD devices immediately, or wait up to 24 hours for devices to automatically poll for new configurations 31.

Verify

Verify that saving the location configuration updates its status to Location Integration On 36.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Turn off the Enhanced Emergency Calling toggle on the location in Control Hub.

Step 8 Prepare how each kind of endpoint gets its location

Only fixed, on-premises desk phones and devices.

Do

Rely on HELD network reporting to determine locations for MPP desk phones 30. For non-HELD devices, ensure an associated location is configured against the device caller ID in the RedSky portal, because non-HELD endpoints use asserted caller ID to establish location 42. For DECT handsets and ATAs that do not communicate directly with RedSky, associate a location with their caller ID in the RedSky portal 23. Configure an emergency callback number (ECBN) for each location and user using their own number, the location default, or another number within the location 26 25. Cisco recommends establishing administrative controls so non-HELD endpoints are not moved without administrator approval 43.

Verify

Suggested check: Confirm in the RedSky portal that each non-HELD device, DECT handset, and ATA caller ID has an assigned location, and verify in Control Hub that an ECBN is populated on all target locations and users.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Remove static caller ID location mappings in RedSky and restore original ECBN settings in Control Hub.

Fixed devices plus users who carry Webex App between networks.

Do

Configure fixed MPP, non-HELD, DECT, and ATA devices with appropriate wiremap entries, caller ID associations, and ECBN settings 30 42 23 26 25. For Webex App users, ensure device OS location permissions are enabled (Location Services on macOS 12 or later, and while-in-use permissions on iPad and Android tablets) 3. Instruct off-premises users to enter their dispatchable civic address when Webex App prompts upon detecting a new network 4 40. Note that Webex App automatically reuses previously entered addresses on known networks 41. For remote workers with a fixed, non-mobile US or Canadian number, configure a custom emergency service address under Management > Users > Calling > Numbers 22. Instruct users on how to update addresses manually (on Windows via profile picture > Help > About > Notices and disclaimer > Update location; on mobile via profile picture > About > Notices & Disclaimers > Update location) 5. Remind users that Webex App on mobile devices with cellular connections places emergency calls through the native dialer rather than RedSky 11, and that relay centre call fees are billed back to the customer if an address is missing 51. In the field, customers instruct users to supply complete addresses in standard US format 28.

Verify

Verify that Webex App prompts an off-premises test user for an address and caches it on subsequent reconnections 40 41. Verify that an unrecognised address returns a suggested address for user confirmation 2.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Clear custom user emergency service addresses in Control Hub and prompt users to re-enter network locations within Webex App.

Step 9 Confirm dial behaviour meets Kari's Law

Do

Configure outgoing permissions and dial plans so users can dial 911 directly without an outside access digit such as 9 12.

Verify

A 933 test call dialled with no prefix reaches the emergency test IVR, which announces the caller ID and the currently known address 56.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Direct dialing configuration is retained to satisfy regulatory obligations.

Step 10 Test with 933 from every endpoint type

Do

Place test calls from every endpoint assigned to the location, including HELD-capable MPP phones, soft phones, and non-HELD devices 57. When users connect off-premises, have them verify the prompt to enter a dispatchable address 40.

Verify

Confirm that the IVR for a 933 test call announces the caller ID and the currently known address for that device 56. Verify that emergency notification alerts are delivered to configured recipients 50. Note that live calls with unlocatable addresses fall back to an emergency relay centre call taker 52.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Testing calls make no permanent configuration changes and do not require rollback.

Step 11 Route emergency calls to RedSky

Cisco Calling Plan or cloud PSTN configured on the location.

Do

After test calls are confirmed, navigate to the location in Control Hub and enable "Route Emergency Calls to RedSky" 54. Emergency calls from all endpoints at the location will route to the E911 service instead of the configured PSTN 49. Maintain a valid emergency service address on the location, as Cisco Calling Plan mandates a default location address 8.

Verify

Verify that the location status displays Routing On 54. Place an additional 933 test call to verify that the IVR announces the device caller ID and known address 56.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Toggle "Route Emergency Calls to RedSky" off in Control Hub and verify emergency dialing.

A customer-managed Local Gateway.

Do

After test calls are confirmed, navigate to the location in Control Hub and enable "Route Emergency Calls to RedSky" 54. Emergency calls from the location—including nomadic endpoints associated with users at that location—will route directly to the E911 service instead of through the Local Gateway 34. Locations that remain unenabled continue to route all calls through their configured Local Gateway 35.

Verify

Verify that the location status displays Routing On 54. Place an additional 933 test call to confirm emergency connectivity and address announcement 56.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Toggle "Route Emergency Calls to RedSky" off in Control Hub and verify emergency dialing.

Step 12 Brief users and responders on emergency-call behaviour

Do

Brief emergency response personnel and staff on device call-handling behavior:

  • HELD-capable MPP desk phones prevent the caller from hanging up an active emergency call, requiring the remote dispatcher to terminate the call or the user to manually reset the phone 38.
  • Mid-call telephony features—including hold, transfer, and conference—are unavailable on MPP devices during emergency calls 39.

Verify

Suggested check: Confirm that internal security desk documentation and end-user guidance reflect these emergency calling constraints.

Rollback

Suggested rollback: Update operational briefing documents as required.

Applicability

Applies to: Cisco Webex Calling, Cisco Webex App, Webex Calling - Cisco Calling Plan, and US Federal Communications Commission 47 CFR Part 9. Deployments: multi-tenant and any. Sources checked 2026-09-24. The RedSky integration applies to Webex Calling locations within the United States, its territories, and Canada; locations elsewhere retain standard PSTN emergency calling 55. US users are covered by Webex Calling entitlements at no extra charge, while Canadian users require an add-on RedSky license 59 63. RedSky network discovery does not support VPN interfaces, which are filtered out 64.

What remains uncertain

Whether emergency call routing returns to the original Local Gateway or default PSTN immediately upon disabling the "Route Emergency Calls to RedSky" toggle is not covered by the sources below.

The exact behavior of DECT and ATA endpoints regarding HELD support across specific firmware releases is not covered by the sources below.
