50-bed clinic — reference configuration

Q: How many devices can one nurse console take?

The care guide states that up to 100 devices can be connected to the console. This plan puts 65 ward stations (50 bedside and 15 door-side) plus 15 pull cords and two corridor displays on it, which is inside that figure. Send us the room and bed count and we will confirm the console count against your own ward layout.

The 50-bed plan from the care material, written as an equipment list: 50 bedside stations, 15 door-side stations, a pull cord in every room, one nurse console and 20 portable handsets — plus the SIP core and the desk phones that the ward plan does not cover.

Rooms: 15 — ten four-bed rooms and five two-bed rooms, 50 beds in all
Bedside stations: 50 × Y501W-Y, one per bed
Door-side stations: 15 × Y501W, one per room, for staff emergency and code blue calls
Bathroom call points: 15 × KT30 or KT31, one per room
Nurse console: one A320i, with call and attendance logs
Extensions in this plan: 100 SIP, inside an OM80E’s 216 SIP trunks

Desk phone	X303G	14	Reception, duty room, pharmacy, admin and consulting rooms; four SIP lines, dual gigabit ports, PoE
IP PBX	OM80E-8S/8	1	216 SIP trunks for the 100 extensions in this plan; eight FXS and eight FXO ports; AC 100–240 V or −48 V DC
Ward speaker (optional)	FH-S01	2	Optional addition, not in the printed plan; ceiling speaker that amplifies incoming calls where they must be heard away from the console; PoE IEEE 802.3af
PoE access switch	Customer network hardware	6	24-port units sized to the ward stations, desk phones and network positions across the ward

The room, position by position — what should you know?

The care plan places a station wherever a call can start. The bedside position is for the patient, the door-side position is for the staff, and the bathroom gets a pull cord because a call there has to be reachable from floor level.

The printed 50-bed clinic plan

Bathroom	KT30 or KT31	15	Toilet / bathroom emergency call
Corridor, at the door	CL-01	15	Status only — red, green, blue and yellow
Corridor, public area	CMD-01	2	Call info, type and location; optional in the plan
On the move	W611W / W620W	15–20	Calls transferred when the station is unattended

This is a reference design prepared from the product datasheets, not a record of a named customer installation.

How a call is raised and escalated — what should you know?

A press at the bed, the door or the pull cord raises the call on its host station
The console shows it as a prioritised, colour-coded entry, and a real person has to enter a password before an emergency call is connected
The same call is repeated outside the room: the corridor light over the door and, in public corridors, the display
Slow flash marks staff presence and staff assist calls; quick flash marks a toilet emergency call and code blue
When the nurse station is unattended, calls can be transferred to the portable handset
Call and nurse attendance logs remain available for record tracing

One A320i is proposed for the whole 50-bed plan; the guide states up to 100 devices can be connected to a console, and this plan uses 65 ward stations plus the call points and displays.

The SIP core behind the ward — what should you know?

The ward terminals and the clinic’s ordinary phones register on the same SIP network, so one PBX carries both. The OM80E’s 216 SIP trunks hold the 100 extensions in this plan with room for the next ward.

Eight FXS and eight FXO ports in the 8S/8 variant: the clinic’s fax, lift and alarm lines can stay analog
Fax runs as T.38 or G.711 pass-through; over an analog line, G.711 pass-through is required
Recording on this model is remote only, to a recording server (default port 1311)
Broadcasting to analog extensions is supported; two-way broadcast is not supported by the series
Analog line dialling delay on the OM80E defaults to 600

Frequently asked questions

How many devices can one nurse console take?

The care guide states that up to 100 devices can be connected to the console. This plan puts 65 ward stations (50 bedside and 15 door-side) plus 15 pull cords and two corridor displays on it, which is inside that figure. Send us the room and bed count and we will confirm the console count against your own ward layout.

Why 50 bedside stations but only 15 bathroom buttons?

Because there is one bathroom per room, not one per bed. The plan puts a station at every bed (50) and a single KT30 or KT31 call point in each of the 15 rooms, with the corridor light also counted once per room.

Do the care terminals share the clinic phone system?

Yes. The ward stations, console and desk phones all register as SIP extensions on the same PBX, and the OM80E’s 216 trunks and 100 extensions leave room for the next ward. Keep the care extensions in a separate number range from the office phones so the ward and the front desk stay easy to read.

What happens to the clinic’s existing lines?

They stay. The 8S/8 variant of the OM80E gives eight FXO ports, so the fax, lift and alarm lines remain analog, and analog extensions can be wired where a device only has a phone socket. Fax is set as T.38 or G.711 pass-through; over an analog line, G.711 pass-through is the required mode.
