9.2.2.5 Maximum Series Inductance: 200 micro henries.
9.2.3 Data Line protectors to guard against circuit damage resulting from voltage surges on all data/communication lines between the sign enclosures and controller cabinet if applicable.
10 Central Control of the PSS
The PSS system uses a poll-response method of communications over a multi-drop channel or link. The CCS (Central Control System) initiates all communications and only one PSS controller on the channel will respond to a command from the CCS. Each controller on a channel is given a unique drop address. One drop address is reserved as a broadcast address. All controllers on a channel listen to transmissions to the broadcast address, but no controllers respond, thus avoiding any conflicts on the channel.
10.1 The IP address shall be user configurable, stored in non-volatile memory, and may be changed only at the controller.
10.2 For message creation, the PSS, PSS sign controller, and PSS control software shall
support the storage and use of a minimum of two (2) alphanumeric character font files. Each font file shall include the following characters:
10.2.1 The letters “A” through “Z”, in both upper and lower case
10.2.2 Decimal digits “0” through “9”
10.2.3 A blank or space
10.2.4 Eight (8) directional arrows
10.2.5 Punctuation marks, such as: .,!?-‘’ “”
10.2.6 Other characters, such as: #&*+/( )[ ] < >
10.3 The following character font file shall be supplied with the PSS, at a minimum:
o 7x5 Single Stroke – a typical font is seven (7) pixel rows high by five (5) pixel columns wide and has a single-pixel stroke width.
o 7x4 Single Stroke – a typical font is seven (7) pixel rows high by four (4) pixel columns wide and has a single-pixel stroke width.
11 NTCIP
11.1 Each NTCIP Component covered by these project specifications shall implement the most recent version of the standard that is at the stage of “Recommended” or higher as of
the date of this letting, including any and all Approved or Recommended Amendments to these standards as of the letting date. It is the ultimate responsibility of the sign manufacturer to monitor NTCIP activities to discover any more recent documents.
11.2 Variable Message Sign assemblies shall be compliant with the latest version of the NTCIP
Standards, as defined by AASHTO, ITE, and NEMA.

11.3 SUBNETWORK PROFILES
11.3.1 Each serial or modem port on each NTCIP device shall be configurable to support both NTCIP 2101 and NTCIP 2103. Only one of these profiles shall be active at any given time. Serial ports shall support external dial-up, leased line, radio, cellular and fiber optic modems.
11.3.2 The NTCIP device(s) may support additional Subnet Profiles at the manufacturer’s option. At any one time, only one subnet profile shall be active on a given port of the NTCIP device. All response datagram packets shall use the same transport profile used in the request. The NTCIP device shall be configurable to allow a field technician to activate the desired subnet profile and shall provide a visual indication of the currently selected subnet profile.
11.4 TRANSPORT PROFILES
11.4.1 Each serial or modem port on each NTCIP device shall be configurable to support both NTCIP 2201 and NTCIP 2202.
11.4.2 Each Ethernet port on the NTCIP device shall comply with NTCIP 2202.
11.4.3 The NTCIP device(s) may support additional transport profiles at the manufacturer’s option. Response datagrams shall use the same transport profile used in the request. Each NTCIP device shall support the receipt of datagrams conforming to any of the supported transport profiles at any time.
11.5 APPLICATION PROFILES
11.5.1 Each NTCIP device shall comply with NTCIP 2301 and shall meet the requirements for Conformance Level 1.
11.5.2 An NTCIP device may support additional application profiles at the manufacturer’s option. Responses shall use the same application profile used by the request. Each NTCIP device shall support the receipt of application data packets at any time allowed by the subject standards.
11.5.3 The following conformance groups within the NTCIP 1203:1997 and Amendment 1 standard shall be supported with the values defined in these tables. For the purposes of this specification NTCIP 1203 Conformance Statements shall be considered mandatory, except where noted.

1 Introduction – Purpose of Document
The National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocols (NTCIP) standards are intended to promote the development of interoperable equipment within the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry. Any component that does not fully follow the rules defined by the NTCIP standards will inhibit or preclude interoperability from being realized. As a result, the industry needs a well-defined and consistent way to test equipment that claims conformance to the NTCIP standards. This document is intended to be used as an appendix to Special Specifications for LED based character matrix Parking Space Signs without regard to any one Special Specification.
