Sumner County Emergency Communications

  In accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, Sumner County Emergency
Communications is equipped and trained in
the use of TTY (Text Telephones). TTY
allows dispatchers to communicate with the
"communications impaired"; persons with
speech and hearing impairments.
  Dispatch computers are equipped with
TTY software that automatically detects the Baudot signals transmitted by text telephones and
opens for interaction with the caller. Communication is effected by typing messages between the
dispatcher and the caller, all transmitted by telephone line.
  In the event of computer or software failure, the department utilitizes a manual text telephone
machine which allows the telephone handset to be attached to acoustic couplers on the machine.
