2.3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND FEATURES
A. Provide complete and satisfactorily operating Intercom and Communications System as
described herein, using materials and equipment of types, sizes, ratings, and
performances as indicated. Use materials and equipment that comply with referenced
standards and manufacturer’s standard design and construction, in accordance with
published product information. Coordinate the features of all materials and equipment so
they form an integrated system, with components and interconnections matched for
optimum performance of specified functions.
B. The system shall be capable of distribution using DTMF Standard Telephones (STELs),
Caller ID telephones (CTELs), loudspeakers, and other devices as described herein. The
system shall be capable of incorporating a Windows XP based GUI application (a PC
Attendant), allowing control of all functions. The system central equipment shall provide at
least 32 simultaneous, global voice speech paths between all telephones in the system.
Each of these channels shall operate simultaneously and transparently to all other
communications paths. The system shall provide four independent intercom channels
between any telephone and loudspeakers. Two additional, simultaneously operating
channels shall be provided for distribution of program material.
C. The system shall allow for configuration, programming, and diagnostics to be done on-site
or from a remote location via telephone modem connection with Ethernet device server,
as specified later in this section. All configuration, programming, and diagnostics shall be
done using a Windows XP based software program.
D. System Wiring Topology: The integrated communications system shall be capable of
utilizing the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) telecommunications cabling in the building, as
specified in Section 16755, for connection of all STEL and CTEL telephones. This ability
shall be proven and fully endorsed by the system manufacturer. Systems that require
shielded cables for this purpose are not acceptable.
E. Room Assignments: The system shall provide user-programmable room number
assignments. Any room number may be reassigned at any time, and it shall not be
dependent on wiring or circuit numbers. Room number assignments shall be 3-, 4-, or 5-
digit numeric and shall be assigned using the numbering system approved by the ASD
Project Manager. This numbering system may or may not utilize the architectural room
numbering shown on the Drawings. The dialing sequence shall incorporate full numeric
capabilities as available on industry-standard telephone keypad.
F. Call Routing: Call-ins from rooms shall be programmed to a minimum of seven priority
levels. Upon arrival at the designated ATEL, the call shall be visually displayed and
audibly annunciated. Calls from call-in devices may be programmed to call into STELs,
which shall ring when called. The system shall be capable of providing PBX integration,
allowing PBX operators to handle calls from telephones connected to the PBX, as well as
internal telephone and intercom calls.
G. Telephone Compatibility: The system shall be compatible with industry-standard 2500
DTMF telephone instruments with electronic ringers (STELs).
H. System Port Capacity: The system shall support a maximum of 32 trunk ports. The
