5. Configure Duplicate EAS Alert Handling for Decoder Auto-Forwarding
If an incoming EAS alert is determined to be an exact duplicate of a previously decoded alert, it is
completely discarded and a message is logged in the operation log. However, EAS alerts that are
duplicates except for Station ID or ORG code are stored as a decoded alert and can be optionally auto-
forwarded or held. Use the selector to choose the setting to control manual or auto-forwarding for these
alerts.
The Configure Update Policy for Active EAS Alerts option, allows you to expire an active alert when
a new alert is decoded and updates the previous alert. When enabled, you can choose what
requirements the new alert must have to expire the previous active alert.

have changed the station ID. The alerts arrive several minutes apart. The DASDEC II has been set to
auto-forward Monthly tests to the given FIPS codes. The first decoded Monthly test is forwarded
automatically. The user has configured the duplicate alert handling to NOT auto-forward duplicate alerts
that differ in Station ID or ORG code. The second alert is decoded, but is held for manual forward.
