The position of the displayed CAP message depends on the severity of the alert.
Noticeable m essages with “Extreme” and “Severe” headers will appear on the
screen and cover up any other content together with an audio alert siren (in case of
an Extreme level alert). Messages with lower levels of severity will appear as text
crawler along the bottom of the image. When an alert is activated, the system (via
P3K) outputs messages according to the activation mode type (see Section 12.4 ).
Figure 29: Emergency Alert System Display
The Expiration Date field of the CAP XML file determines when the message will
expire. Note that you can remove the message sooner by pressing/clicking any of the
buttons on the VP-771 (front panel or remote control buttons, as well as via the Web
page or protocol commands).
To setup and activate the alert system on the VP-771:
1. Set the dedicated EAS Ethernet connection port type and port number
through which the VP-771 will be listening, as a client, to intercept alerts.
By default, the dedicated EAS port settings are TCP, 5005. To change these
setting see the “Emergency Alert Configuration” in the table in Section 12.2 .
2. Make sure that the VP-771 is connected to Ethernet.
3. Make sure that Alert System in the Miscellaneous menu is set to On (see
Section 6.8 ).
The VP-771 is now ready to receive any alert and display it.
