All database changes shall be performed while the workstation is on-line without disrupting other system operations.
Changes made at the ISC equipment shall be automatically uploaded to the ACS server, to ensure system continuity.
Each ISC shall be capable of reporting all changes in status, system events, and actions performed, to the ACS in
real-time. These messages shall be displayed immediately in the ACS audit trail. The affect of each message must be
reflected throughout the system as they occur, such as, the immediate changing of the colour of a symbol located on a
site plan to indicate a change in point status.
Local event buffer
The ISCs shall maintain a buffer of all events that occur locally. This buffer shall store all messages until they are uploaded to
the ACS server. If the communications between the ISC and the ACS server are lost, the buffer will be retained until
communications is restored, at which point all logged events shall be uploaded to the ACS server.
Database accessibility
All System data must reside on a single database on the network and must be accessible in real-time to every / any system
workstation. This shall allow for automatic change propagation to all workstations on the system as well as a common
database to consolidate all information and allow for better disaster recovery.

Real time Audit Trail

The system shall log all events that occur to both an on-screen audit trail window and a retrievable disk based log file or
database. These events must be logged on-screen as they occur (in real-time). All system changes, alarm events, entry / exit
conditions, point state changes, exception messages, miscellaneous system messages, or any information relating to the access
control system in general shall be logged to this audit trail.
Partitioned display data
The system shall be capable of filtering all displayed audit trail messages based upon the currently logged in operators
assigned privileges. Only those events to which the operator has been assigned privileges will appear on-screen or any audit
trail report printed whilst that operator is logged on.
Operator audit trail profile
The system shall allow the operator to select which information columns are displayed and which information
columns are not displayed on-screen in the audit trail window. The system shall also allow the operator to change the
width of any displayed audit trail column by simply using the mouse to drag the column wider.

This view shall allow events to be searched based upon any text contained in the audit trail messages that have been recorded.
Event short-cuts
The system shall facilitate a quick link (short-cut) from any event appearing in the audit trail. As a minimum, there shall be a
link to the cardholders and the point location relating to the audit trail event. This will enable easy access to the respective
record, allowing the operator to change the details of that record, if necessary.

Dual window
The ACS shall allow any operator to scroll through past events without losing the ability to monitor new events. This
shall be easily achieved via a split-pane audit trail window. Both viewers shall display all events as they occur. The
upper viewer shall allow the operator to scroll-back and view previous events that have occurred at the facility, but
have scrolled off screen as other events are logged. The lower viewer shall display the latest logged events at all
times.
The two viewers shall be separated by a movable partition that allows the operator to change the viewable area by
simply using the PC mouse. In addition, the system shall allow the operator to select the number of entries that are
retained in each on-screen viewer at any time.
Any older events that cause the viewer to exceed the configured entry limit, will be removed and must be logged to a
permanently stored log-file that can be recovered by creating an audit trail report.
The currently logged in operator shall also be allowed to determine the order in which events are displayed (ie: latest
event appearing at the top or the bottom of the audit trail).
Real-time audit trail printing
The ACS shall allow the system administrator to configure the type of events to print to a dedicated printer in real-time. The
administrator shall have the option of selecting to print all events or only alarm events. This can be in addition to displaying
the events on-screen.
Filtering

alarm events as they occur, in real-time. The annunciation of an alarm shall take priority over all other system functionality to
ensure the alarm is registered immediately upon occurring.
Alarm annunciation
The system shall provide an audible and visual annunciation of all appropriate alarm situations as they occur. Each
alarm annunciation shall be configurable, so that it requires positive action to be taken by the System Operator when
acknowledging it, and always appears in the foreground of the MMI.
Immediately following the visual and audible annunciation of an alarm, a field shall become available where the system
operator can enter comments regarding the alarm situation, and shall prevent the alarm from being cleared until an entry in
this field has been made. Once entered the System Operator shall be allowed to acknowledge the alarm.
In addition, pre-defined alarm responses shall be available. These responses are specific to the facility and can be selected
from a drop-down list to ensure quick and efficient acknowledgement of an alarm situation, in lieu of typing a message.
After an alarm has been announced, the system shall allow the operator to silence the alarm for a selected period of
time. After this time period has elapsed the alarm annunciation will be regenerated.

Date and Time at which the alarm occurred
Name of the system component that caused or initiated the alarm
Current status of the system component that caused or initiated the alarm
The system shall provide the ability to outline unique emergency instructions to be specified for each type of alarm.
These instructions should be displayed on request before the alarm is actioned, in order to help the Operator
understand the requirements and necessary routines for clearing the alarm. These alarm instructions should be able to
contain any combination text or graphics and if appropriate contain a windows video (*.avi) that can be played on
request of the system operator.
In addition, these instructions should appear in a dialog that allows the system operator to enter a log in relation to the alarm
and acknowledge the alarm, whilst simultaneously viewing the instructions.

Visual alarm graphics

The system shall be configured so that the activation of any alarm provides text and audio instructions outlining the
procedures to follow in responding to the alarm, at the Alarm Monitoring Workstation and automatically calls up associated
maps upon grabbing the alarm.

surface mount, with shuttered jacks to prevent ingress of dust and foreign matter.
The horizontal cable shall be terminated on modular jack panels, placed in wall mounted / floor mounted racks
provided with lock-able doors. Factory-crimped workstation and equipment cords shall be provided.
Cables shall be coiled in the surface-mount boxes / Faceplates if adequate space is present to house the cable coil
without exceeding the manufacturers bend radius. No more than 12 of slack shall be stored.
Cables shall be dressed and terminated in accordance with the recommendations made in the TIA/EIA-568-B
document, manufacturers recommendations and/or best industry practices.
Pair untwist at the termination shall not exceed one-half an inch for Enhanced Category 5 connecting hardware.
Bend radius of the cable in the termination area shall not be less than 4 times the outside diameter of the cable.
The cable jacket shall be maintained as close as possible to the termination point.
Cables shall be neatly bundled and dressed to their respective panels or blocks. Each panel or block shall be fed by
an individual bundle separated and dressed back to the point of cable entrance into the rack or frame.
The distance between UTP data cable and any power cable should be more than 4 inches.
Each cable shall be clearly labeled on the cable jacket behind the patch panel at a location that can be viewed without
removing the bundle support ties. Cables labeled within the bundle, where the label is obscured from view shall not

Horizontal Distribution Cable Installation

Horizontal cable shall be laid to connect each information outlet to the backbone subsystem on the same floor. These
cables shall be laid in the already laid cable-trays/ trunking.
Cable shall be installed in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and best industry practices.
Cable raceways shall not be filled greater than the manufacturer recommended guidelines.
Each run of cable between the termination block and the information outlet shall be continuous without any joints or
splices.
Horizontal distribution cables shall be bundled into groups of not greater than 40 cables. Cable bundle quantities in
excess of 40 cables may cause deformation of the bottom cables within the bundle.
Cables shall not be attached to ceiling grid or lighting support wires.
Any cable damaged or exceeding recommended installation parameters during installation should be replaced by the
contractor prior to final acceptance at no cost to the HPCL.
A self-adhesive label or PVC marker ferules shall identify the Cables. A cable label shall be applied to the cable
behind the faceplate on a section of cable that can be accessed by removing the cover plate. Similar label or marker
ferrules shall also be placed on a section of the cable near to the patch panel termination.
Unshielded twisted pair cable shall be installed so that there are no bends less than four times the cables outside
diameter (4 X cable Outside diameter) at any point in the run.
The distance between UTP data cable and any power cable should be more than 4 inches.
The cables minimum bend radius and maximum pulling tension shall not be exceeded during handling and
installation.
Pulling tension on 4-pair UTP cables shall not exceed 25-pounds for a single cable or cable bundle. The pathway
shall be adequately sized so as not to exceed the 80% cross-section fill of cables. The pathway shall be securely
installed in the facility.
The 4- pair UTP cable shall be run using a star topology format from the termination block at the administration
subsystems on each floor to every individual information outlet. All cable routes to be approved by Engineer prior
to installation of the cabling.

Conduit runs installed should not exceed 30 meters or contain more than two 90-degree bends without utilising
appropriately sized pull boxes.
Fiber optic Cabling Installation Guideline :
The inter-building backbones shall be installed with laser grade optical fiber cables as in BOQ.
Where cables are housed in conduits, the backbone and horizontal cables shall be installed in separate conduits or in
separate inner ducts within conduits. Where backbone cables and distribution cables are installed in a cable tray or
wire way, backbone cables shall be installed first and bundled separately from the horizontal distribution cables.
Fiber slack shall be neatly coiled within the fiber termination panel. No slack loops shall be allowed external to the
fiber panel(s).
Each cable shall be individually attached to the respective termination panel by mechanical means. The cables
strength member(s) shall be securely attached the cable strain relief bracket in the panel.
Each cable shall be clearly labeled at the entrance to the termination panel. Cables labeled within the bundle shall
not be acceptable.
Each fiber cable shall be stripped upon entering the termination panel and the individual fibers routed in the
termination panel.
Dust caps shall be installed on the connectors and couplings at all times unless physically connected.
All fiber terminations shall be carried out with SC-Style Connectors, color-coded as per TIA / EIA standards for MM
fibers.
All terminations shall be placed on rack-mount fiber optic enclosures capable of terminating OSP rated cables.
