Validate Addresses

 

Topic Last Modified: 2012-06-11

Before publishing the location database, you must validate new locations against the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) maintained by your SIP trunk or public switched telephone network (PSTN) E9-1-1 service provider.

For details about SIP trunk E9-1-1 service providers, see Choosing an Emergency Services Service Provider.

For details about validating addresses, see the Lync Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

  • Get-CsLisServiceProvider

  • Set-CsLisServiceProvider

  • Remove-CsLisServiceProvider

  • Get-CsLisCivicAddress

  • Test-CsLisCivicAddress

To validate addresses located in the location database

  1. Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2010, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

  2. Run the following cmdlets to configure the emergency service provider connection.

    $pwd = Read-Host -AsSecureString <password>
Set-CsLisServiceProvider -ServiceProviderName Provider1 -ValidationServiceUrl <URL provided by provider> -CertFileName <location of certificate provided by provider> -Password $pwd

  3. Run the following cmdlet to validate the addresses in the location database.

    Get-CsLisCivicAddress | Test-CsLisCivicAddress -UpdateValidationStatus

    You can also use the Test-CsLisCivicAddress cmdlet to validate individual addresses.
