1. A method comprising:
- determining whether a first channel is communicatively coupled to a communication network, the first communication channel configured to preferentially transmit emergency messages to the communication network;
when the first communication channel is not communicatively coupled to the communication network, determining a second communication channel and at least one configuration parameter to configure the second communication channel;
configuring the second communication channel with the determined at least one parameter;
transmitting an emergency message over the configured second communication channel.

Abstract
A determination is made as to whether a first channel is communicatively coupled to a communication network. The first communication channel is configured to preferentially transmit emergency messages to the communication network. When the first communication channel is not communicatively coupled to the communication network, a second communication channel and at least one configuration parameter to configure the second communication channel are determined. The second communication channel is configured with the determined at least one parameter. An emergency message is transmitted over the configured second communication channel.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
an interface for receiving an indication of whether a primary communication channel exists with an emergency response system; a receiver configured to receive at least one configuration parameter associated with a secondary communication channel; a transmitter configured to send emergency messages via the secondary communication channel; a controller coupled to the transmitter and receiver, the controller being configured to determine when the primary communication channel does not exist with the emergency response system, and when the primary communication channel does not exist, receive the at least one configuration channel from the receiver and configure the secondary communication channel according to the at least one parameter. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
