Selecting the EAS Layout tab in the iTX Desktop displays an iTX Channel Control
(Global) layout, which contains the EAS button.
The EAS button is the interface control that allows operators to receive and playout EAS
messages delivered from the iTX Emergency Alert Service and EAS device. Specifically,
the EAS button provides operators with:
• a quick or detailed status of the iTX EAS service and iTX channel
• a visual indication of the EAS button’s connectivity to the iTX EAS service
• a visual alert of incoming EAS messages and how much time is remaining in the alert
• a control for scheduling when the EAS message will be played out on-air
