Digital Alert Systems: DASDEC User Manual
5 Decoder
The Decoder menu has five radio button options:
o Incoming Alerts o Incoming/Decoded Alerts o Forwarded Alerts o Originated / Forwarded Alerts o All
Alerts
Each radio button brings up status display screens of current and expired alerts. These DASDEC II interfaces show the
active alerts and those that have expired or have been decoded, forwarded, and originated. The interfaces allow a precise
audit of current and past EAS activity.
Auto-Refresh Timer: Plus Package licensed DASDEC IIs display an Auto-Refresh Timer selector (just below and to the
left of the page title in the header section). The selector allows the page to be re-displayed every 15, 30, or 60 seconds.
Use automatic page refresh to stay informed of the DASDEC II decoding activity and decoded events status.
5.1 Incoming Alerts
The Incoming Alerts page shows the status of Incoming and Active Decoded Alerts. Five tables on this page show the
following information: Decode Activity, Current forwarding mode, Currently Active Decoded Alerts, Alert Forwarding
Actions, and Event Storage Access.
The Incoming Alerts page is provided as a faster loading page for monitoring new and incoming EAS alert activity.
Broadcasters who are manually forwarding alerts should keep a Web browser logged on to the DASDEC II
and viewing the Incoming Alerts page with the auto-refresh option enabled.
This page has the same interfaces as the longer Incoming/Decoded Alerts page, except it does not provide the interface
for accessing expired alerts. Both pages have check boxes for optional display of the Alert Forwarding action table and
the Event Storage Access table. Features of these two tables are described below.
Under normal operation, disable the display of both of these tables to speed up the page load and refresh.
All other interfaces on this web page are described in Chapter 4.2 Incoming/Decoded Alerts.
NOTE: All interface option changes on these pages are immediate.
