· Travel to site and test each ELIN (108) added to an ERL using the ?Test ERL? via VPN or Local test phone. The reason to test an ELIN is to ensure it will be displayed at the PSAP correctly. The ERLs and Discovery via IP Subnet have already been established. Once testing has been completed successfully, the ELINs will be added to their ERL as appropriate prior to phone go-live and documented for transition.
