4.8.4 Demo Decode/Forwarding
This page allows you to enable the Practice/Demo operation mode. You can configure alert parameters for a
practice and test run of decoding and forwarding. By generating a trial decoded DMO (Demo/Practice Warning)
alert, rather than having to wait until an actual alert is received, you can simulate the behavior of any incoming
decoded alert on the DASDEC II. The actual alert is generated with a button named Run Demo Decoded Alert
on the Decoder > Incoming/Decoded Alerts page. (See Chapter 6.2 Incoming/Decoded Alerts). Once
generated, all of the forwarding buttons and edit/review options for the active alert are available for operation.
This feature is especially useful for testing Multistation operation.
Pushing the Run Demo Decoded Alert button will insert a decoded demo alert for easily testing forwarding
configuration and options.
IMPORTANT! Forwarding this alert will take it to AIR! BE CAREFUL! Examine if Auto-Forward
Mode is enabled before use. Make sure your EAS broadcast system is off line during practice.
Options on this page configure availability of the Run DEMO button, and FIPS codes and audio for the DMO
alert.
