6 Encoder
EAS alert encoding, called origination, is when the digital codes and alert audio tones and message
defined by the EAS protocol, are assembled and played over a broadcast medium for which EAS
decoders might be listening. The One-Net
SE
makes EAS encoding and alert origination easy,
accurate, and quick. From a single, uncomplicated web page, EAS alerts can be constructed and
issued.
Only a One-Net
SE
that has been configured with a valid Encoder license key (see Setup > Server,
section) will offer the encoding feature. Without a valid license key, the One-Net
SE
will not show
the main Encoder menu tab (nor will it display the Setup > Encoder option button under the "Setup"
main tab). There are some configuration tasks that need to be done on the Setup Encoder pages
before you can use the One-Net
SE
encoder. Make sure your One-Net
SE
has been configured with
Setup > Encoder prior to attempting EAS encoding.
There are four choices on the Encoder page: Send EAS and Originated Alerts, Originated &
Forwarded Alerts, and All Alerts.
Encoder > Send Alert > General Alerts
6.1 Send Alert
When you select Send Alert, the Encode and Send an EAS Alert page is displayed. This
page has two sub-page options: General Alerts and One-Button EAS. Using the One-
button EAS screen is a simple way to encode and issue weekly test alerts using a single
mouse click. To encode general specific alerts, the General Alerts page is used.
