Digital Signage – Preparations for the Purchaser

Purpose Provide the purchaser with an efficient and logical procedure for obtaining approvals, clarifying technical requirements, and ordering everything needed before new information screens or door signs are installed

Plan and Clarify

Question Checkpoints
What will be displayed? Content type, frequency, accessibility
Where? Building, floor, room number
What already exists? Network outlet, power socket, mounting points

  1. Obtain permission from the Property Manager

    1. Go to Property Services
    2. Select Signs / Marking → Order Sign
    3. Complete the form and specify:
      • Sign type (information screen, door sign, etc.)
      • Desired location (outdoor, building, room, height on wall)
      • Optionally include a photo of the site
    4. Submit and await contact and site inspection
    5. Contact the IT Department to confirm they will attend the inspection

  2. Mandatory site survey

    Role Task
    Property Department

    Clarify:

    • Building conditions (wall structure, heritage status, fire safety, etc.)
    • Public regulations for outdoor installations
    IT Department Check network and power access

    Arrange a coordinated site survey with the Property Department and the IT Department to save time. The survey ensures that any deficiencies in the building, power and network are identified and can be resolved well in advance of installation. Outdoor installations may require planning permission.

    No work may commence before permission has been granted by the Property Department.

  3. Data Network

    If a network outlet is missing, a new point must be ordered. Sometimes the Telecommunications Service can provide this. The cost will be charged internally. If they lack capacity, it must be arranged through the framework supplier for electrical services.
    The IT Department must configure the network connection before the equipment is delivered.

  4. Power Supply

    If a power supply is missing, a new outlet must be ordered via the framework supplier for electrical services.

  5. Electrical Services

    1. See UiO’s Agreement Catalog → search for electrical services
    2. Find the appropriate supplier for the relevant campus and obtain contact details
    3. Arrange a site survey with the contact person
    4. Telecommunications Service can assist the electrician with:
      • Tracing cable routes
      • Advice on comms rooms and patch cabinets
      • Guidance on suitable tools and installation methods
      • Updating network outlet positions in floor plans
