When you use Cisco Jabber on campus on either a wired or wireless connection, the E911 Softphone Locator (ESL) works with the Remote Location Manager to automatically share your location with the 911 call center.

When you start Cisco Jabber while on campus and connected to the network, after a few minutes, your location will update. Your location may also update if you move to a different location on campus and connect to a different wireless access point or data jack.

When your location updates, you may see the following pop-up:

Click I Agree, and then you’ll see one of the following:

• Your current location is: Office Location
  This indicates your location was successfully detected.
  
• Your current location is: Enterprise Default
  This is the default location, indicating that ESL has not yet updated your physical location.
  
• Your current location is: Office Location with WIFI CALLER.LOCATION UNKNOWN
  This indicates that ESL has not yet updated your wireless location.
  

The 911 Remote Location Manager (RLM) runs as a standalone application, but requires Cisco Jabber to interact with and detect locations. When working remotely, you should add or update your address to ensure your location is correctly identified for emergency situations.

When RLM detects that you’re connecting to a new network, you’ll see a popup saying Your location is currently not set. 

Click I Agree, and then you’ll see one of the following:

• There is no address configured for your current location
  
• Your current location is: Office Location

To submit or update your address, click Set my Address or Edit my Location, enter your address, and then click Save.

The location you entered should continue to show as your current location until a network change is detected.

When connected to Cisco Jabber remotely, if you are not connected to sslvpn(2) thru the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client, you may see the following prompt. Click OK to proceed.

This error is most often received by an off-campus user who is trying to sign into the Jabber client without being connected to the UVM VPN, but it may be caused in other events as well.

Use this guide for connecting to the Cisco AnyConnect client to connect to the UVM VPN, then try again.

It may take a moment for phone services to connect after connecting to the VPN.
