Decoder > Decoded Alerts web page, showing Expired Alerts
Display FROM: YYYY Month Day TO: YYYY Month Day
To select a date range, use the provided pull-down menu and choose a Year, Month, and Day for the FROM and
TO dates. The list will display all available data for each expired alert decoded within the selected time period.
The actual decoded headers are stored on the DASDEC II, so this information is an accurate reflection of what
the DASDEC II received. Because of its digital disk medium, a DASDEC II can archive an enormous number of
expired events. The DASDEC II will automatically remove the oldest event descriptions as needed to reserve
enough space for new alerts. However, the number of stored events is at a minimum in the thousands, so you do
not need to worry about losing track of important archived information.
Expired Alerts Display
The event status page can be printed out from the local host computers printers by using the Web browser's print
button. This makes it easy to compile FCC paper documents for EAS test accounting.
As shown in the screen shot above, every standard detail about the alert is presented in an easy to read table:
The time the alert was decoded, the time the alert was forwarded, and if it was forwarded. Forwarded alerts are
displayed on the Forwarded Event Status screen. See Chapter 5.2 Forwarded Alerts.
Audio portion
If the alert has an audio message, it can be played on the DASDEC II front panel internal speaker by clicking
that appears inside the alert entry. Or you can play the audio file on your host computer
through your web browser by clicking the text link Listen on Browser . The host computer must be configured
with a WAV file player. Alerts that did not have an audio message will not display the two audio interfaces.
