Nomadic 911: Location Manager URL Update
Overview
The Location Manager app installed on user Desktops for the Nomadic 911 feature includes configuration that controls how the app connects to the Emergency Routing Service (ERS) platform.
This configuration needs to be updated by the end of September 2023 because the URLs for those connections are changing.

How is the update rolled out?
The change must be rolled out to your desktop estate by you—8x8 cannot perform this change remotely.
This can be done in two ways:
- Existing installations: We recommend running a patch script (Windows or MacOS) on the machines that have Location Manager installed. (See below)
- New installations: We recommend using the 1.7.1b installation package.

The patch scripts below must be run with administrator privileges.

The latest version 1.7.1b is available here. It is functionally identical to 1.7.1 with the only difference being the connection URLs.
