Forward Alert button
Use the button to manually forward the alert. Once the alert is forwarded this button will
disappear in the active alert event display and be replaced by a new button, . While the alert is
actively being forwarded, a flashing indicator will display near the top of the page. See screen shot below. Also a
link label, showing the time of forwarding, will be displayed. You can follow the link to the Decoder > Forwarded
Alerts page.
Blocked Forwarding
With a Plus Package license, the Manual Forward control selector under the Setup > Decoder > Forwarding
page allows the Auto-Forwarding filter criteria to be optionally applied to unforwarded active alerts. If this option
is selected and an alert does not pass the EAS or FIPS code filter, then the button will be
blocked from display. It is replaced by a hyperlink message informing that manual forwarding is blocked. The link
provides a quick traversal back to the Setup > Decoder page. The application of the Auto-Forwarding blocking
criteria can be changed on the fly to re-enable the button.
Decoder > Incoming/Decoded Alerts page alert forwarding indicator
Enable reforward button
Use the button to allow a previously forwarded alert to be manually forwarded again. After this
button is pressed, the button will again be displayed.

See Chapter 5.1 Incoming Alerts for a description of this table and its features.
Play audio alarm on browser
On the right side of the page, under the Active Decoded alert table, is a checkbox to control an audible browser
announcement for active, decoded alerts that have not yet been acknowledged or forwarded. By enabling this
option on a speaker equipped host computer, along with auto-refresh of the page, the browser can audibly
notify control room staff that an alert has been decoded. Every time the browser page refreshes while a
decoded alert remains unacknowledged and unforwarded, an audio recording of the three burst EAS end-of-
message "noise" will play over the host computers speakers. The audio notification will stop once the alert is
forwarded or acknowledged. An alert can be acknowledged using the
button on the active
alert status display or by pressing the DASDEC II Front Panel button.
NOTE: With a Broadcast license, the Setup > GPIO page allows the reforward enable to
be triggered from a GPIO input contact closure.
Note: If an alert that is decoded expires during edt/review, it cannot be forwarded after
exiting the edit/review page.
