4.10 Setup > Net Alerts: Setup Network Alert Protocol Options
There are up to six tabbed sub-pages on the Setup Network Alert Protocol Options page: EAS NET, CAP Decode,
DVS644 (SCTE18), Net CG, Net Switch and Net GPIO. All features, except Net GPIO and parts of Net CG require license
keys to operate.
One of the benefits of the DASDEC II's inherent network nature is that it can support a variety of methods for network
forwarding/origination of EAS alerts, alert audio/video, and remote control. The DASDEC II supports several network
protocols. The EAS NET protocol provides a variety of flexible methods to send alert notifications and data from a
DASDEC II to a remote host (including another DASDEC II). The EAS NET protocol includes support for multiple DVS-
168 network clients. Another network EAS protocol supported as a licensed feature on the DASDEC II is DVS-644/SCTE-
18 alert messaging to cable systems. For video and audio, the DASDEC II can uni-cast or multicast an MPEG2
video/audio details page. This, in conjunction with EAS NET or DVS-644, provides a complete digital solution in one box
for EAS requirements. All of these features, when licensed, appear as tabbed pages under the Setup > Net Alerts.
Most of the Net Alert interfaces can be separately enabled / disabled per feature and per client interface. The standard
Networked GPIO supports FIPS programmable LAN based relay triggering during alerts and alert states.
If a required network interface is not available, it can be enabled using the License Key Manager interface under Setup >
Server. (See Chapter 4.1 Setup > Server: Setup Server.) You must purchase a license key from Digital Alert Systems,
enter the key into the appropriate License Key Manager field, and enable the protocol by restarting the server.
Select one of the protocols for editing by selecting the appropriate tabbed sub-page on the main Setup > Net Alerts
page.
All of the Setup > Network Alert Protocol Options pages use an Button for submitting option changes.
Multistation mode note: When DASDEC II multistation mode is enabled, the Net alert client interfaces used per station
are selectable. Thus, a station can choose to NOT use an enabled Net Alert interface. The station assignment options do
not allow reprogramming of a Net Alert interface, just its inclusion. Also, the specific included Net Alert interface MUST be
enabled for the station to be able to trigger its action. This allows specific Net Alert interfaces to be assigned to different
stations and thereby trigger a Net Alert action only when a specific station is active. Configure per station used Net Alert
assignments on the proper station interface configuration page under Setup > Decoder > Forwarding.
4.10.1 DVS 168
If DVS-168 is available on the One-NetSE, use this tab to enable this protocol for forwarding and/or sending
alerts.
Setup > Net Alerts > DVS168
Alert Forwarding to DVS168/EARS device.
Placing a check in this box will allow Alerts that are received from a Broadcaster to be forwarded
through the One-Net
SE
and sent out using the DVS168 protocol.
Encoder Alert Send to DVS168/EARS device.
Placing a check in this box will allow Alerts that are originated by the One-Net
SE to be sent out using the
DVS168 protocol.
