DASDEC-III User Manual vX.0 |r0621 5-93 If the EAS device does have a current active custom message alert, that alert will appear on the right side of the page in red. If the NET Decode Custom Message Forwarding is enabled, more options appear. Allow message stop from master NET message originator This option allows the EAS device that sent a custom message via EAS NET to control when the alert is stopped on the receiving EAS device. If this is not enabled, the user would manually stop the alert on the receiving EAS device (if it is before the alert is done). Text Message to Speech Options This drop down menu gives the EAS device the ability to use a text-to-speech engine on EAS NET decoded custom alerts. There are three options: • Never use message text-to-speech • Use message text-to-speech only if Audio not present • Always use message text-to-speech. Ignore Audio if present. Auto-Forward NET decoded Custom Messages This option gives the EAS device the ability to auto forward decoded EAS NET custom messages, even if the EAS device is in Manual Forwarding Mode. FIPS Groups The FIPS Groups sub-tab screen was first introduced within V3.0 software. Throughout the user interface there are numerous places to enter FIPS Location Codes. In an effort to eliminate redundant operations and reduce errors, FIPS code Groups were created. Users can create and modify groups of FIPS Codes in one central area and use those groups throughout the web interface. This screen is also where a list of available encoder FIPS code locations is established. The FIPS Group sub-tab has two sections; Manage FIPS Location Group Lists section and the Configure Available FIPS for Encoder Alert Origination section. Manage FIPS Location Group Lists Screen DASDEC-III User Manual vX.0 |r0621 5-94 Manage FIPS Location Group Lists This section of the screen displays a list of existing FIPS Groups and enables users to add, edit, duplicate and delete FIPS Groups. A brand new EAS device will not have any configured FIPS code groups - they will need to be added on this screen. Add New FIPS Group To create a new FIPS Group click the Add New FIPS Group button. A new FIPS group will appear at the top of the FIPS Location Group Lists and will have an auto- generated name, starting with a series of numbers and ending in ‘_FIPS’. This group will have no defined FIPS codes and will need to be edited. Individual FIPS Groups contain the following information and action buttons: Name Name of the FIPS Group. Use Count Number of times this FIPS Group is used throughout the web interface. FIPS Codes List Displays the first four FIPS codes used in the group, along with a number of FIPS code locations contained in the group. Edit This button opens the edit FIPS Group interface. Here FIPS codes are added and removed in the group and the group name can be edited. Duplicate Group Clicking this button will create a duplicate FIPS Group and place it below the original. It copies the existing group name and adds ‘.CPY’ at the end. Delete Group Users wanting to delete a FIPS Group can click this button. This button is only available to groups not being used throughout the web interface. (See Use Count above.) Once the Delete Group button is clicked, a confirmation screen will appear asking: Are you sure you want to delete the selected FIPS group? User may select either: • Yes, delete group. • No, cancel group deletion! Edit FIPS Group Section DASDEC-III User Manual vX.0 |r0621 5-95 To edit a new or existing FIPS Group, click the corresponding Edit button. User have the ability to change the name and add/remove FIPS codes within this group. The following fields, pull-downs, and buttons are available: Name The EAS device automatically generates a name for new FIPS Group. Highlight the text and enter a descriptive name for this group of FIPS codes. Choose FIPS Subdivision A pull-down menu showing the subdivision setting of the chosen FIPS County. A selection of All should be used unless the county is to be subdivided. To subdivide a county: • Select one of the FIPS Subdivisions options (North, Northeast, West, etc.) • Select a FIPS County • Click the Add button to add that subdivision to the FIPS codes list. Multiple subdivisions of a single county can be added to the FIPS codes list by repeating the above steps. For example, both North Orleans, NY and Northeast Orleans, NY FIPS codes can be added. Choose FIPS State This pull-down contains a list of US States, territories and pre-defined FIPS regions. Select the desired item and the EAS device will populate the Choose FIPS Counties with the FIPS codes available for that area in numeric order. Choose FIPS Counties This area is populated with individual FIPS codes based on the selection made in the Choose FIPS State pull-down menu. It is from this area that FIPS codes are added to the FIPS codes list for the group. Make a selection by clicking on the desired item. Multiple selections can be made by using the CTRL key when clicking items after the first selection. FIPS Codes This area represents a list of FIPS codes used in the group. Only FIPS codes found in this area will be used for processing wherever this FIPS group is selected. FIPS codes are added to this list by selecting the desired codes from the FIPS Counties list and clicking the Add -> button. Items are removed from this list by selecting the item and clicking the Remove Selected button. Add -> Clicking this button will add the selected FIPS Counties to the FIPS codes list area. Remove Selection FIPS code can be removed from the FIPS codes list by selecting the item and clicking the Remove Selected button. Accept Changes This button will finalize any additions, edits, and/or deletions made while editing a FIPS code group. Once clicked, the Edit FIPS group section of the interface will be removed and the screen will return to its normal state. Cancel Changes Pressing this button will cancel any changes made to the FIPS group and return this sc…

Brief Product Description DASDEC-III FCC ID: R8VG3DAS01 Operational Overview The DASDEC-III monitors for EAS and CAP alerts using up to 6 audio channels and IP based sources. These channels can include internal AM/FM/NOAA receivers and/or connections to external sources. IP sources are numerous, protocols currently supported are outlined in the user manual. Monitoring of the inputs is achieved using proprietary software that analyzes the audio channels “looking” for EAS FSK data tones and/or the two-tone attention signal. Upon reception of what appear to be EAS FSK data tones, the DASDEC-III verifies the received data for proper syntax, requires a match of at least two headers, analyzes the data, checks to see if this message has been received previously, and that it passes the “filters” the end user has applied to that DASDEC-III. Alerts not meeting the above criteria will be logged but discarded. Alerts that pass criteria the above, The DASDEC-III will begin the process of forwarding the message. store the alert audio of each message to internal storage. EAN messages are immediately forwarded after verifying authenticity. An alert can also be originated from the front panel, the web-based user interface, or VIA GPI control. Major Block Descriptions Refer to the “Block Diagram” exhibit. Refer to the “User Manual” exhibit for details of I/O and use.
