Introduction This document describes the Standards for the Installation of Telecommunication Network cabling that is to be installed or modified at the University of Melbourne. The objective of this document is to define a universal and structured communications cable plant infrastructure. The goal of such a cable plant is to accommodate all current and anticipated voice, video and data systems with little or no modification, thus reducing administration and maintenance resources.

This document provides design consultants with detailed requirements and the minimum standards for use in the construction or remodelling of buildings or facilities occupied by the University of Melbourne. It is expected these requirements and standards will be incorporated into project documents to ensure that the finished product meets the specific needs of the University.

All cabling work within the University must comply with these standards in addition to any other relevant Australasian and International standards.

Ownership The department - Technology Management – Infrastructure Services of the University Services division of The University of Melbourne is responsible for the maintenance and content of these standards. Technology Management is responsible for overseeing installation, maintenance and administration of all campus telecommunications and network critical physical infrastructure.

This ensures that each building’s infrastructure is planned to support adequate telecommunications rooms, ductwork, cabling and wiring within the buildings, and cabling between buildings to support The University’s diverse requirements for voice, data and wireless

To maintain a consistent structured wiring system throughout all University Campuses, Technology Management is the only entity authorized to approve new communication cabling, both inside and between buildings. Any proposed alteration to the cabling must be reported to Infrastructure Services – Technology Management for approval. Contacts All Network and Standards enquires can be made via the – Service Centre.

Background

NBN Co is replacing the copper networks that deliver the broadband and fixed phone line. That means there is a need to order an NBN service plan with the carrier providing the broadband and fixed phone lines before the disconnection of the copper networks.

NBN Service Types

The table below lists all PSTN lines that will be directly affected by the NBN installation within campus buildings. Some campus buildings have analogue lines that are not connected directly to exchanges and instead are cabled to Analogue Voice Gateway devices – these are out of scope with respect to the transition to NBN.

PSTN Line Type NBN Service Type

Voice General Voice Service

Modem General Voice Service

Fax General Voice Service

EFTPOS General Voice Service

Building Fire Alarm Essential Voice Service

Emergency Lift Phone Line Essential Voice Service

ADSL General Data Service

General Voice Service

General Voice Service lines are not required to be operational during mains supply interruptions.

Service cables should connect directly into the NBN device (NTD) if capacity is available otherwise connected into extender devices (NTU).

NOTE: Essential Voice Service lines take priority over available NBN device lines. The extender devices do not need to have battery backup power.

Essential Voice Service

Essential voice service lines are required to be operational during mains supply interruptions.

They must be connected directly into the NBN device which must have battery backup power.

General Data Service

Content Owner: Technology Management Page 32 of 57 General Data Service lines are not required to be operational during mains supply interruptions.

Service cables should connect directly into the NBN device (NTD) if capacity is available otherwise connected into extender devices (NTU). The extender devices do not need to have battery backup power.

Building Fire Alarm

Fire alarm lines must continue to operate during power interruptions similarly to the fire panels which are locally battery-backed as per fire code. NBN provide a solution whereby their NTD has battery backup power similar to Fire Indicator Panels. The battery option must be selected for buildings that contain fire panels that have existing Alarm Signalling Equipment (ASE).

NOTE: Most buildings on campus with fire panels are cabled back to a shared ASE within a different building. These buildings will not have fire alarm lines. Some buildings may have the sprinkler system contain an ASE device to send a fire alarm instead of the fire panel – this line must be treated in the same way.

Emergency Lift Phone Line

Emergency lift phones must continue to operate during power interruptions due to confirmation that not all mobile phones will work from inside lifts – in particularly if below ground level eg. Underground car parks.

NBN provide a solution whereby their NTD has battery backup power. The battery option must be selected for buildings that contain lifts.

NBN Terms & Definitions

NTD Network Termination Device owned by NBN Co that Network Service Providers will provide carrier services over.

NTU Network Termination Unit owned by Network Service Providers to extend the number of voice and data ports required in addition to those provided on the NTD.

ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses.

General Service Lines

Must be installed by a fully qualified cabling technician.

General Voice Lines (voice, fax, modem, EFTPOS) must be cabled to NTD Voice Lines so long as they are not required by Lift Emergency Phones or Fire Alarms. Otherwise they must be cabled to a Network Service Provider NTU.

General Data Lines (ADSL) must be cabled to NTD Data Lines as long as there is sufficient capacity otherwise a Network Service Provider NTU must be used.

Essential Service Lines

Must be installed by a fully qualified cabling technician.

Content Owner: Technology Management Page 33 of 57 The Essential Service cabling between FIP Alarm Signalling Equipment (ASE) and NTD must meet the following standards AS/CA S008, AS/CA S009 and AS/NZS 3000.1

The NTD must have an installed battery which is replaced every 2 years.

Building Fire Alarm lines

The Essential Service cable must be directly connected into a port of the NTD and labelled ‘Fire Alarm’.

An additional NTD must be installed if there is no capacity on the existing NTD

The Essential Service Line must be registered with the Network Service Provider as “Fire Alarm”

Building Lift Emergency Phone lines

The Essential Service cabling must be directly connected into a port of the NTD and labelled ‘Lift Phone’.

An additional NTD must be installed if there is no capacity on the existing NTD

The Essential Service Line must be registered with the Network Service Provider as Lift Emergency Phone

Network Service Provider

Wherever possible, only one Network Service Provider is permitted per building in order to minimise number of active devices.

NBN equipment

NBNco and carrier active equipment are to be installed in the main communications rooms of the building

Connection method for the NTD and NTU to the PSTN end point device is patching. I.e RJ45 patch code

Tie cable from the mains Communications Room to MDF is required, if CAT3 cables are used for the PSTN end point device.

Space To enable a University wide consistent wireless service, space classification Classification guidelines are to be used. s

 Low Client density areas: These areas will have lower AP count and lower client density and may include outdoor areas, walkways, corridors, administrative blocks and office areas. AP placement is based on coverage area not ratio of users.   Average Client density areas: General areas in the campus like classrooms, walkways, corridors, administrative blocks and office areas. An AP to client ratio of 1:40-50 maximum should be maintained in these areas.   High Client density area: These areas are typically lecture theatres and teaching spaces that cater for a high concentration of wireless users. An AP to client ratio of 1:30 maximum should be maintained in these areas.   Outdoor Areas: These areas will be covered by external access points and AP placement is based on coverage area not ratio of users.

It is recognised that some spaces have installation constraints such as heritage, hazard, or architectural aesthetic considerations – all such factors need to be evaluated and direction sought from Technology Management.
