The microprocessor associated with each dispatcher shall be fully capable of independent operation. In the event that one or more of these units fail, the remaining processor(s) shall still be capable of carrying on console operations. The degree of redundancy shall correspond to the number of operators in the system. 27 NOTE: Theparagraphs that follow describe features that may not apply to the system being specified. Choose only the applicable paragraphs and exclude all others. Redundant base interface electronics shall be provided. In the event of a �_.base station interface module failure, switchover to a redundant module shall be automatic. Manual control of the switchover shall also be pro- vided. Redundant central electronics package power supply(ies) shall be provided. In the event of primary power supply failu0e, switchover to the backup sup- ply shall be automatic: no operator intervention shall be required. FAULT MAINTENANCE The console system shall be designed such that no single failure will dis- able more than one channel or more than one operator console. Any duplica- tion of circuits required to attain this performance shall be provided with the exception of central electronics power supplies. The control center modules shall be designed with the capability to automatically check them- selves and other modules and to perform specific self-healing actions should a malfunction be detected. The console system shall not rely on a single test node to perform the diagnostic/self-healing functions described below, but rather shall have multiple redundant diagnostic systems (not applicable in a one-position system) . The major intelligence for the Fault Detection system shall be provided on the operator interface electronics. Each operator interface module shall independently determine if any failure exists through the tests described in subsequent paragraphs. The degree of fault detection redundancy shall correspond to the number of operators in the system. Each module in the central electronics package shall independently send data messages at least every five seconds. The operator interface modules shall note any two consecutive communications failures from any module. Every message on the central electronics digital bus shall include CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) security measures or equivalent. Every message from the operator consoles to the central electronics package shall include checksum security measures of equivalent. Parity checks alone shall not be acceptable in either case. Each operator interface module shall contain a detector to periodically check for the presence of guardtone from the Central Timer module. Any failures shall start diagnostic procedures. When an operator interface module is not processing an audio signal , it shall periodically digitize guardtone and insert this guardtone onto the digital voice bus. The module shall then decode this digitized guardtone and check for its presence. 28 Each operator interface module shall periodically digitize guardtone and _ send this quardtone to a base station interface module. The interface module shall be instructed to decode the signal and to loop the audio through different stages on the module, including the digital automatic _level control circuitry stage, and return a digitized signal to the oper- ator interface module. Three different loops on the base station:• interface ( including the line transformer) shall be possible. Each operator interface module shall periodically instruct a base station or dual receive interface modules and shall equally evaluate the response to the .messages. Any failures shall independently be noted. When a failure or an error associated with data message integrity or guard- tone generation/detection is noted, the operator interface modules shall "vote" to switch to a second system timer module. If a majority of the operator interface modules agree, the switch shall occur and the operator interface modules shall re-evaluate the system. If the failure/error is corrected no further action shall be required. No single test circuit shall be used for diagnostic testing; the purpose being to protect the sys- tem from incorrect diagnostic actions which could result if the single diagnostic test circuit failed. If the switch to the second system timer module should not correct the failure/error or should the switch cause more failures/errors, then a switch back to the original system timer module shall occur. A timer in every module shall electrically remove the module from the bus structure. An operator interface module shall seize control , test itself, and individ- ually restore each other module to the bus structure, testing the modules in the process, until the failed module(s) is found. If the operator interface is incapable of completing the testing 'process for any reason, another operator interface shall seize control and perform the testing. The detection of a malfunction or the occurrence of self-healing actions shall be available at a serial-data system printer port that is connected to one of the operator interface modules. The identity of -modules which have been switched off the bus structure during diagnostic operation shall be logged on the printer (if so equipped) . A special indicator on failed modules shall be illuminated. The printout of diagnostic and/or self-healing actions shall be generated only at the time of the occurrence and shall not reprint unnecessarily. All operators shall be notified (both message and alarm notification) of any error(s) which have been detected by a majority of the operator inter- face modules. The alarm notification shall consist of a ten second tone burst and abbreviated message on the clock display. After approximately ten seconds has expired, the clock shall return to normal operation with the exception that a flag shall be set in the clock display. Only a quali- fied technician shall be able to reset this flag. In the event that the dispatcher(s) was not located at their consoles at the time of failure, they shall be able to recall the nature of the failure via the clock display and keypad. 29 v ENCLOSURE GENERAL DESCRIPTION All cabinetry shall consist of a structural frame, exterior decorative panels, and trim.

DANIEL WINTERS CHIEF OF POLICE 0 dol *yao� POLICE DEPARTMENT, TOWN OF SOUTHOLD PECONIC, NEW YORK, 11958 TELEPHONE EMERGENCY DIAL 911 ADMINISTRATIVE: 516 765-2600 516 734-6022 October 23, 1986 Supervisor Francis Murphy Southold Town Board Town of Southold Main Road Southold, New York 11971 Dear Supervisor Murphy and Members of the Board: Attached hereto are the bid specifications and a schematic for a new communications console at police headquarters. The ergonomic design of the console will allow for greater efficiency and eliminate operator error. The console is the latest state of the art and is designed for dual operation. The crosspatch feature allows multiple town agencies, such as Highway Depart- ments, Fire Departments and Police Departments, to directly communicate during an emergency or disaster. Our present console will not permit this type of operation. During peak periods year round and during summer months two operators are needed to dispatch for the three Police Departments and the six Fire Depart- ments with their accompanying rescue squads. The console diagnostic capabilities are distributed in independant redundant subsystems and do not rely on one central diagnostic circuit. The unique "consensus of opinion" mode of operation eliminates the possibility that one fail- ing diagnostic unit could mis-diagnose a failure and initiate unwarranted action by itself. In the rare event of simultaneous multiple module failures (a possible result of a direct lightning hit on several base station phone lines) , the diagnostic subsystems are capable of isolating the damaged modules, switching to standby modules, if present, and returning the system, to the extent possible, to normal operation. Most importantly the console provides additional safety for residents of Southold Town. Id As an integral part of this communications system a new logging recorder should be seriously considered. Our present system, approximately ten years old, is for the most part unreliable. The primary purpose of a logging recorder is for retridval of information. Hours are spent attempting to locate information which for the most part is unintelligible. This console will satisfy the needs of the police department for may years. The town is growing at a rapid pace and we must have the resources to protect the citizens. Very rul yours, 011 H. DANIEL WINTERS CHIEF OF POLICE HDW:jk Enclosures
