Equipment list for this design — what should you know?

Item	Model	Qty	Note
Bedside station	Y501W / Y501W-Y	70	One per bed position; the -Y version adds a handset. Nurse call, staff assist, presence and code blue; hosts the pull cord and drives the corridor light
Nurse console	A320i	1	The console the care deck places at the nurse station; prioritised colour-coded calls, logs, corridor display push and broadcast

Corridor light	CL-01	40	One per room above the door, optional in the printed plan; powered and controlled by the bedside station
Corridor display	CMD-01	4	One per floor in public corridors, optional in the printed plan; up to 30 prioritised messages, double-sided LED
Portable Wi-Fi handset	W611W / W620W	20	The plan proposes 15–20 units; both models take the transferred call when the station is unattended, with a PTT key for quick talk
Desk phone	X303G	9	Admin office, reception, staff room and kitchen; four SIP lines, dual gigabit ports, PoE
IP PBX	OM200G	1	496 SIP trunks for the 100 extensions in this plan; four hot-swap card slots; dual gigabit Ethernet; choice of single or dual AC/DC power
Interface card	16FXS + 8FXO	1	Sixteen analog extension ports for the home’s older devices and eight FXO ports for existing lines as an escape route
PoE access switch	Customer network hardware	8	24-port units for the ward stations, desk phones and network positions across the floors

Why the station count and the room count differ — what should you know?

This is the point people trip over in the printed plan, and it is deliberate: the plan counts bedrooms, rooms and call points separately.

The printed 70-bedroom nursing home plan

Item	Qty	Counted per
Bedside stations	70	Bed position — 10 single rooms and 60 beds in two-bed rooms
Bathroom pull cords	70	Bedroom
Corridor lights	40	Room, one above each door
Corridor displays	4	Floor, in public corridors
Portable handsets	15–20	Care team on shift
Nurse console	1	Whole home

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

How the alert types are told apart — what should you know?

Staff presence — steady indication, shown on the station and the corridor devices
Nurse call — slow flash at the corridor light and a colour-coded entry at the console
Toilet emergency call — quick flash, so it is never mistaken for a routine call
Staff assist call — slow flash, raised by staff rather than the resident
Code blue — quick flash, raised from the door-side station and treated as the top priority
Emergency calls need a password before the call is connected, so a real person answers
The corridor display carries up to 30 prioritised messages with the room and the call status

Keeping the care layer running — what should you know?

496 SIP trunks hold 100 extensions with wide headroom for a second phase
Cards are hot-swappable, so a failed card is replaced without taking the home offline
Single or dual AC, or single or dual DC power options — a dual supply is the usual choice where an outage is not acceptable
ETH2 can act as a redundant port and takes over from ETH1 in about 1.75 seconds
Recording on the OM200G is remote only; the A320i also keeps call and attendance logs at the console

The materials state power for the pull cords (KT31 needs none, KT30 carries a battery) but do not state PoE for the Y501 series in the deck, so confirm station powering on the quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Why 70 bedside stations for 40 rooms?

Because the plan counts bed positions, not rooms: ten single rooms plus 60 beds in two-bed rooms is 70 places where a resident can raise a call. The bathroom pull cord and the corridor light are counted per bedroom and per room respectively, which is why those numbers differ again.

How many caregivers carry a handset?

The plan proposes 15–20 units for a team of 15 caregivers plus the RN. The W611W runs about 9 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby on its 1900 mAh battery; the W620W states 13 hours and 240 hours on 3000 mAh, plus H.264 VGA video decoding. Both have a 2.4-inch screen and a PTT key.

What happens when nobody is at the console?

Calls can be forwarded to a portable handset, which is how the deck phrases it: the call goes to a handheld when the nurse station is unattended. The corridor display and the light over the door keep the call visible to staff walking past, so the alert is not only at the desk.

Can the home add a second phase of rooms?

Yes. The OM200G’s 496 SIP trunks are used at 100 extensions in this design, and the card slots let analog ports grow with the building. Add bedside stations, pull cords and corridor lights as rooms are fitted out, and keep the new room numbers in their own block so the console display stays readable.
