Correct station configuration allows one DASDEC II to propagate (during alert origination or forwarding)
EAS alerts sequentially to any one of the set of collocated stations (or broadcast channels). During
setup, this is achieved by choosing an exact subset of the base station DASDEC II hardware
connections for each individual station (or channel). The choices are made within a station configuration
interface on the Setup > Decoder > Forwarding web page. The resulting station interface configuration
permits an EAS alert to play on the broadcast hardware for a specific station channel (or channels). In
this way a specific video CG can host an alert text crawl and a specific broadcast program audio path
(tied to the video crawl) can have EAS alert audio inserted on demand. As alerts are played in
sequence this way, the proper audio/video hardware is controlled from the DASDEC II to achieve alert
play-out on a single chosen station.
