Configuration Instructions
Configuring the iTX Emergency Alert Service
Selecting the EAS Config layout tab in the iTX Desktop displays the Emergency Alert
System Configuration window.
The Base EAS Service Configuration section (upper portion) allows you to identify and
configure the iTX EAS service details for your iTX system.
Since the iTX EAS service can serve multiple ENDEC devices, the Channel Specific
Configuration (lower portion) allows you to define an iTX EAS profile for each iTX channel
and then add the channel’s profile to the table. Each channel’s EAS profile includes the IP
address of the EAS encoder/decoder device assigned to the channel, as well as channel
specific properties that govern the style of the on-air EAS message.
Base EAS Service Configuration
The Base EAS Service Configuration section allows you to specify settings that determine
how the iTX Emergency Alert Service receives and treats incoming EAS messages from
any of the ENDEC devices associated with an channel. You must set the following
parameters:
• EAS FTP Root UNC - The UNC path of the FTP Server where the ENDEC will send
EAS Files.
• Media Watcher Inbox UNC - The UNC path of the Inbox that the Media Watcher is
monitoring for EAS files.
