9 Typical Tasks
This section of the manual is intended for users that have already set up and configured their One-Net(s)
and would like to know what to do to complete certain tasks, and also how to manage when alerts are
present. When your One-Net is up and running, there are still things that need to be done in order to be
in compliance with the rules placed on all EAS regulations. Things like, receiving and forwarding alerts
as well as keeping accurate and accessible logs of that data. This part of the manual will step you
through the process on many different tasks, and it will be able to show you what may happen, or what
should happen in the most common situations.
Originating/Encoding an Alert
Originating and Encoding mean the same thing; it is the creation of an alert that can be forwarded over
your own broadcast. When this alert is forwarded over your broadcast, any station that is tuning into
your station will receive and decode that alert in that station’s own EAS device. Simply, any station that
is listening to your station on their EAS device will receive and decode the alert that you sent out, just
like if you were to receive an alert from another station over your radio tuners. This is a useful tool for
making custom alerts and putting them on your own broadcast.
Originating an Emergency Alert
In the beginning of the section, you configured your settings for setting up a general Encoded
Emergency Alert. So this will be pretty simple.
To create an originated alert to forward over your broadcast, go to Encoder > Send Alert >
General Alerts and configure the options to how you want your alert to look. The options are put
into six steps for you. An example of setting up an alert is shown next in a screenshot:
