Alert Forwarding Action Table
Below the Active Decoded alerts table, the optional Alert Forwarding Action Table displays the current settings
for actions associated with forwarding the alert. The serial protocol, the Net Alert protocols, and the Analog
Audio/Video states are displayed to make it easy to know what peripheral devices will be triggered by alert
forwarding. Labels inside this table are also convenient active links directly into the correct Setup page for
changing the configuration of the associated action.
Event Storage Access table
To the right of the Alert forwarding action table is the Event Storage Access table. This table provides links to the
Decoded Files, Decoding Error Files, EAS NET Decoded Files, and post alert snapshot files. See the screenshot
below. These links will traverse a Web browser directly into the disk file storage area for decoded alerts; EAS
NET decoded alerts, and errored alerts. Traversing one of the links will place the browser page into a file view
from which all alert event files can be directly examined and downloaded. This is especially useful if an alert
could not be decoded. The WAV file saved during the decode error can be downloaded and examined or sent to
Digital Alert Systems for analysis.
Beneath the text links in the table is a toggle box Generate Decoded Event Index File. Check the toggle to
generate a monthly index file of alerts received. The index file can be used to automate queries of alert activity
via http. Index files are stored in the Decoded Files storage area and are named "events_YYYY_M(M)".
5.2 Incoming/Decoded Alerts
The Incoming/Decoded Alerts page shows the status of Incoming, Active and Expired Decoded Alerts. This page is the
primary interface for viewing current and past decoding activity on the DASDEC II. The page displays the current
forwarding mode (auto-forward or manual), current decoding activity (active alerts), the alert forwarding action table, an
event storage access table, active decoded EAS alerts, and expired decoded EAS alerts.
