Appendix A: Duty Selector Functions
The Duty Selector (NIDS) enables calls from rooms or beds to be organized in pre-determined groups
and sent as call forwarding signals or pager messages. Configuring a system with duty selectors is
done with the teleCARE IP System Manager GUI.
The groups can be joined in various combinations through the duty selector to coincide with varying
situations in the area, such as daytime and night-time shifts. The duty selector offers ten settings
ranging from 0 to 9.
The example below shows an area with 12 rooms divided into 4 sections (A, B, C and D). Three
positions on the duty selector have been defined as follows:
1 = day shift, 2 = evening shift and 0 = night shift.
Figure 90. Duty selector and call forwarding groups
With the duty selector in position 1, calls from section A will be signaled to group 1, section B will be
signaled to group 2, section C to group 3 and section D to group 4.
With the duty selector is in position 2, calls from section A and B are signaled to group 5. Calls from
section C and D are signaled to group 6.
With the duty selector in position 0, calls from sections A,B,C and D are all signaled to group 7. The
duty selector position 0 also switches off the buzzers of the doorside modules in the rooms and re-
directs the buzzer output to the input of the “night buzzer” at the attendants station.
