# URZ Telephony: Site Alerting (Standortalarmierung)

This source describes the "Standortalarmierung" (Site Alerting) feature provided by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ) for all telephone end-devices at the Universität Greifswald.

## Key Details
- **Purpose**: To rapidly inform all personnel within a specific building about an emergency situation.
- **Scope**: The alert is sent to all other telephones located in the same building.
- **Priority**: The alarm overrides standard user settings, appearing even if **Do Not Disturb (DND)**, **Silence mode**, or **call forwarding** is active.
- **Limitations**: 
    - The alarm is not forwarded to external destinations (targets of call forwarding).
    - It is **not** a replacement for official emergency services (112 for medical/fire or 110 for police).
- **Configuration**: The URZ configures this feature automatically on a per-building basis.
- **Hardware Interface**: On SNOM telephone hardware, the function is mapped to **Function Key 6** (located at the top right of the 12-key block).

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the URZ via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the central hotline (ext. 1420).
