    establish a National Individual Standing offer to Honeywell
    Limited for the installation, service and integration of new
    components for on-site hardware, software maintenance and

    company capable of providing this requirement.
    
    Technical Requirements

    firmware and software associated with the EBI security system,
    Honeywell is the only capable organization to integrate, expand
    and upgrade NCR's security System. The EBI Security Management

    Honeywell

    alarm-monitoring equipment must be capable of integrating  and
    communicating via TCP/IP protocol across the NCR security
    network to the Honeywell EBI security system.
    
    All EBI security server engineering, programming and
    documentation required for interfacing the compatible field
    products into the NCR EBI security database, must be consistent
    with the existing security strategy, firmware, software and
    architecture.
    
    All engineers and technicians required to work on the existing
    field products must posses a minimum of five (5) years
    experience working with the EBI Security system. Engineers and
    technicians must be capable of supporting both existing security
    databases and existing security products (ie EBI Security

    the issued access card on both the existing Matrix reader and
    the new HID readers.
