“General” section: what each test means

  • Website Access Tests: verifies access to core services (app/API, media assets, caller link endpoints, maps). Failures can cause partial UI load, missing maps, or broken link flows.

  • ICE Candidates (WebRTC connectivity): impacts real-time media workflows.

  • LiveKit / H.264 / VP8 Stream Tests: validates streaming setup and codec compatibility.

Recommended workflow

  1. Run tests from the actual PSAP network (dispatch consoles).

  2. Resolve failures with IT, then re-run tests.

  3. Capture a “known good” screenshot set for baseline troubleshooting.

What to capture for Support when something fails

Send:

  • which test failed

  • timestamp

  • network (floor vs VPN vs other)

  • browser/device

  • screenshot of failure state


Whitelisting 

Prepared Live and Front are web-based applications delivered through standard internet browsers.

If your dispatch center uses a firewall, proxy, or other network security controls that restrict inbound or outbound traffic, you must allowlist (whitelist) specific Prepared domains to ensure the applications function correctly.

This article applies to:

  • Prepared Live

  • Front (web access to Prepared tools and workflows)


Approved Domains for Prepared Live and Front

Your network must allow outbound access to the following domains, ports, and traffic types.

Prepared Live Core Services


Prepared Platform Services (Live and Front)


ANET / ION Services


Prepared App Services


Media, Identity, and Third-Party Services


Feature Flags and Keywords

The following feature flags may be enabled to support enhanced workflows in Prepared Live, Front, and ANET. These features do not require additional firewall changes beyond the domains listed above.

Supported Features

Whitelisted Transfer Contacts
Enables agencies to define approved contacts for call or chat transfers.

Common Scenarios for Automatic Rerouting

Whitelisted Numbers are best used when callers consistently contact 911 for non-emergency reasons and would benefit from direct routing.

Law Enforcement Administrative Calls

Scenario:
Police officers routinely call a PSAP using a 10-digit number for administrative purposes, such as:

  • Warrant checks

  • Follow-up questions

  • Records or case coordination

Reroute to:

  • An internal law enforcement administrative line

  • A records division or duty desk

Benefit:
Reduces unnecessary emergency call handling and speeds up inter-agency communication.


Known Mental Health–Related Callers

Scenario:
A civilian with known, ongoing mental health challenges frequently calls 911 when not in immediate danger.

Reroute to:

  • A crisis hotline

  • A local mental health response center

  • A regional behavioral health service

Benefit:
Ensures the caller reaches specialized support faster while reducing dispatcher workload.


Repeat Non-Emergency Callers

Scenario:
A resident repeatedly calls 911 for issues such as:

  • Noise complaints outside emergency hours

  • Parking disputes

  • Neighbor disagreements that do not require immediate response

Reroute to:

  • A non-emergency police line

  • A city services or call-taker line

Benefit:
Improves response efficiency and preserves emergency resources.


Utility or Infrastructure Issues

Scenario:
Callers dial 911 to report non-urgent issues such as:

  • Power outages

  • Water service disruptions

  • Streetlight outages

Reroute to:

  • A utility provider hotline

  • A city or county public works number

Benefit:
Connects callers directly to the responsible service without delaying emergency operations.


National or Regional Hotlines

Scenario:
Callers contact 911 seeking help that is better handled by a specialized hotline, such as:

  • Disaster assistance

  • Public health information lines

Reroute to:

  • The appropriate national or regional hotline

Benefit:
Delivers faster, more accurate assistance while reducing call transfers.


When to Use (and Not Use) Whitelisted Numbers

Use Whitelisted Numbers When:

  • The caller is known and predictable

  • The call type is consistently non-emergency

  • A clear alternate destination exists

Do Not Use Whitelisted Numbers When:

  • The call may involve an immediate threat to life or safety

  • The caller’s intent varies significantly

  • Emergency assessment by a dispatcher is required

Chatroom Summary Generation
Automatically generates summaries of chatroom activity to support faster review and handoff.


LLM Judge for Intent Classification
Improves intent detection accuracy using AI-assisted evaluation.


ANET Triage Table v2 (Chatroom Merge on Transfer)

  • anet-triage-table-list-v2merge-anet-chatrooms-to-act-on-transfer

  • This feature merges ANET chatrooms during transfer workflows to reduce duplication and improve continuity.

    • Replaces legacy behavior:

      • anet-link-chatroom-enabled (deprecated)


Troubleshooting

Use the guidance below to determine what your agency can resolve locally and when to contact Prepared Support.

Issues Your IT Team Can Fix

You can often resolve the following issues by reviewing firewall and network settings:

  • Prepared Live or Front does not load

    • Verify all listed domains are allowlisted.

    • Confirm outbound traffic on port 443 is permitted.

    • Ensure TLS inspection or SSL decryption is not blocking traffic.

  • Audio, streaming, or live updates do not work

  • Maps or fonts do not display

  • Intermittent connectivity issues

    • Check for proxy timeouts, content filtering, or rate limiting affecting HTTPS traffic.


Issues That Require Prepared Support

Contact Prepared Support if you experience any of the following:

  • Features appear enabled, but do not behave as expected

  • Chatroom summaries or AI-assisted features are missing or inaccurate

  • Transfer workflows do not merge chatrooms as intended

  • Errors persist after all domains and ports are correctly allowlisted

  • Questions about feature availability, rollout timing, or deprecations
