Source notes citing this source

• When a BYOC carrier handles emergency calls, the address cannot be carried in the call signalling, so Zoom uses an ELIN as the caller ID and the PSAP looks the address up from the carrier's database. in context
• ELINs are assigned at the site level, or to a location within a site, in the Zoom admin portal, and each ELIN's address is registered with the carrier. in context
• Before BYOC numbers go live with the BYOC carrier as emergency target, the admin must have the carrier provision the correct address against each number or ELIN used as emergency caller ID, because the PSAP address comes from the carrier's records. inferred in context
