Forward audio message in decoded Weekly Tests
If a decoded Required Weekly Test (RWT) has audio, it will be forwarded. This is uncommon, but can
occur. When disabled, decoded RWT alerts with audio will discard the audio portion of the RWT during
forwarding.
Segmented Manual Alert Forwarding
If Enabled, manual forwarding will provide buttons to send the alert header and attention signal
separately from audio and EOM. This provides an opportunity to dub in live audio. Uncheck to disable
Segmented Manual Alert Forwarding.
Block Auto-Forward of non-originated EAS_NET decoded Weekly Tests (RWT)
All RWTs from EAS NET senders are subjected to Auto-Forward filters.
Block Auto-Forward of CAP decoded Weekly Tests (RWT)
All RWTs from CAP servers are subjected to Auto-Forward filters.
Force Auto-Forward Monthly Tests within an hour
This option will force Auto-Forward monthly tests within an hour. If you do not want this to happen,
leave it as disabled.
Override Decoded Audio portion for Monthly Tests
This option displays three extra audio file selectors to pick pre-recorded audio for pre-alert, post-alert
and override of the original decoded voice audio message portion of a Monthly Test alert. Defaults to
disabled, check to enable.

3. Configure Auto or Manual Forwarding Operation
One of the essential decisions that an EAS participant must make is whether to run an EAS decoder in
Auto-forwarding mode or in Manual forwarding mode. This section of options provides the controls over
these two basic options.
The text box on the left side of this section will indicate the current forwarding state. It will display either
"Auto-Forward Mode is Enabled" or "Manual Forward Mode is Enabled." The same information is also
prominently displayed on the Decoder > Incoming Alerts pages. To set the Auto-Forward Mode or the
Manual Forward Mode look to the checkbox to on the right side of this section.
Auto-Forward Mode checkbox: Check (enable) the first toggle box on the right side of this section to
select Alert Auto-Forwarding. Uncheck to select Manual Alert Forwarding. The toggle box will display a
standard label that says if Auto-Forward Mode is Enabled or Disabled and which mode is currently
selected.
When Manual forwarding is set, a user of the DASDEC II must use the Web Interface or use GPI input
contact closures to actively forward any unforwarded alerts from the Decoder > Incoming/Decoded
Alerts Active Decoded list display.
During Auto-Forward mode, the DASDEC II forwards alerts without review or intervention provided they
pass the currently configured Auto-Forwarding criteria.
NOTE: Emergency National Activation (EAN) and Termination (EAT) alerts always
forward automatically.
