7. Text translation uses forwarded station ID...

This toggle determines if the station substitutes the forwarding station ID into the alert text
translation in place of the decoded station ID. When this option is enabled, another toggle option
Station Custom Origination (ORG) Code Translation is presented. This allows custom phrase
substitution for the standard translation of the EAS ORG code.

8. Multi-selection Settings

A set of selection box interfaces are presented for choosing station level hardware control. Most
of these options apply equally during both alert origination and forwarding! The selection
box label will indicate which controls are shared for both alert origination and forwarding.
With these controls, the station can be set to use specific audio outputs, serial ports, GPO relays,
Network GPIO relays, EAS NET clients, streaming Mpeg clients, etc.

Any changes made to these options do not take effect until the button

pushed.

9. Station Auto-Forwarding Configuration

Each station can require specific FIPS codes and EAS codes to become active during alert play-
out. Careful use of this feature allows every station to play a different set of EAS alerts. If the
Base station already has FIPS and EAS auto-forward filters, they are also used for every
individual station.

The screen shot of Station 1 (above) shows a different station compared to the previous screen
shot. Note the different set of options selected (compare serial ports and audio output ports and
GPO relays) between the two stations.

4.8.2 Local Access Forwarding

The Decoder Local Access Forwarding configuration sub-page is used to configure customized forwarding
play-out for decoded CEM (Civil Emergency Message) EAS alerts. This mode allows for custom alert translation
text and repetition control when a CEM alert is auto-forwarded after being decoded from specific decoder
channels and optionally, from a specific EAS source station (as based on decoded station ID). The mode is
enabled using the checkbox Custom Text Translation for CEM (Civil Emergency Message).

NOTE: The selected serial ports and network client interfaces MUST be enabled in the
Base station configuration.
