EAS status bar in the Xplay interface
Once the Emergency Alert System (EAS) receiver has been configured in Xplay, a
collapsible status bar appears along the bottom of the Xplay user interface (figure
8-6 ) to
provide operators with a quick visual of the EAS receiver’s status and the current EAS event
massage.
Figure 8-6. The EAS receiver’s status bar in Xplay
The EAS status bar consists of four sections/components:
•
Connection status icon: A blue background and idle message indicate that the
communication port is open and awaiting EAS events. A red background and error
message indicate that the port is closed or malfunctioning.
• Event message: The middle portion of the status bar displays the various incoming
events messages from the EAS receiver.
• View log button: Launches the EAS log history viewer, which displays a list of EAS
events that have occurred.
• EAS tab: A toggle switch that collapses and expands the EAS status bar.
