Pager Testing for the next 2 weeks

 

NOTICE TO PROVIDERS

  

13- 0318-01A 

  

Over the next two weeks there will be a variety of testing conducted on the paging system related to overall system parameters / performance, timing for each site and physical equipment inspection.  The testing, evaluation and inspection should have no direct impact on day to day operations. Should a test affect changes in the system, we ask that the issue be reported immediately to the 9-1-1 Supervisor so an evaluation can be done of the test being performed at that time.

The first testing process will occur Wednesday morning starting around 09:00 and be completed within a 1-2 hour window.  During this testing phase one site at a time will be taken offline and test conducted with that site.  All the work will be done with technicians at the GSC; constant communications between the 911 center and the Technicians will occur to coordinate normal dispatch operations. 

A NOTAP will be put out prior to the testing on Wednesday. We will keep you informed to the progress as we move through the next couple of weeks.
