3. Available Encoder FIPS Codes
This section is labeled Configure Available FIPS Pool for Encoder in the user interface. The DASDEC II
must also be configured for the commonly used FIPS locations that will be immediately available for use
during alert encoding. Just as for the available EAS Codes list, a commonly used list of FIPS locations are to
be constructed from the list of all possible FIPS. The list is referred to on the DASDEC II as the "Available
Encoder FIPS Locations". There are thousands of FIPS location codes, so building this pool of commonly
used FIPS codes saves time during typical alert encoding construction. In the rare event that other FIPS
locations are needed, the pool can be edited at any time.
Choose one or more FIPS location codes using the FIPS Subdivision selector, the State (or territory)
selector and the County (or County Equivalent) selection box. Multiple selections can be made at the same
time from the County selection box. Then click
. FIPS locations selected for use in the encoder alert
construction interface will appear in the Configured Available Encoder FIPS Locations field to the right.
Be sure to add all the common FIPS codes that will be used when encoding alerts from this DASDEC II.
Otherwise, while constructing an alert, you may have to return to this screen to add any FIPS codes that are
missing from the Encoder FIPS Pool on the Encode and Send an EAS Alert screen.
To remove a location from the FIPS pool, select one or more lines in the Decoder Auto-Forwarded FIPS
field and click
.
All operations are immediate.
Setup > Encoder > General, FIPS Codes, at bottom of web page
When encoding an alert on the screen Encoder > Encode and Send an EAS Alert screen, if you find that a
FIPS location code is missing, there is a link on that screen back to the Setup Encoder > General screen. There
you can amend the FIPS pool.
