to the servers. The following list will show most of those options, they may or may not pertain to all of the
polling options.
CAP Server Host Address
This is the address of the server that you want to receive CAP Alerts from. In order to use a URL, a
DNS connection must be enabled. Go to Setup > Network > Configuration to change your DNS options.
URL path portion and/or remote path and file name
Put the URL path of the server that you want to receive CAP Alerts from.
Poll Interval in Seconds
This is the number of seconds that your DASDEC will take before it checks for another CAP Alert.
Assigned Station ID
Use this value to give the server that you are receiving CAP Alerts from an ID that will appear on the log
of Decoded alerts.
CAP alerts with any FIPS codes will be converted to EAS
This option, when enabled, will convert CAP Alerts that are sent to any FIPS location to EAS on your
DASDEC. It is recommended that this option is DISABLED because most often, you don’t need to know
all of the cap alerts that are going on around the country (There are a lot). When this option disabled,
enter in the FIPS locations that you want to receive CAP alerts for. The FCC requires you to receive
CAP Alerts for your county, and your entire state (Not every specific county in the state, but the option
that gives you the entire state FIPS code).
