9) The settings under the heading Configure Duplicate Alert Handling for Decoder Auto-
Forwarding controls how alerts with matching event and FIPS codes are handled. For
example: the DASDEC-II decodes an SVR for County A on Input1 and forwards the alert.
The DASDEC-II decodes an SVR for County A from Input2. If you have selected “Do not
auto-forward duplicate alerts” next to the Duplicate Alert Auto-Forward Options, the alert
from Input2 will be logged but not forwarded. However, if you have selected “Auto-forward
duplicate alerts” both the alert from Input1 and Input2 will be forwarded. The recommended
setting is “Do not auto-forward duplicate alerts”.
10) The Configure Update Policy for Active EAS Alerts option, allows you to expire an active
alert when a new alert is decoded and updates the previous alert. When enabled, you can
choose what requirements the new alert must have to expire the previous active alert.
11) The section under heading Configure EAS code filters for decoder Auto-Forwarding &
Manual Forward Blocking allows you to specify which decoded alerts will be available to be
forwarded. By default “Allow All EAS Codes” is selected, clearing that check-box will allow
you to select the event codes the DASDEC-II will forward. Click on the event code in the left
list and then click “Add” to add them to the list on the right. Any alert with an event code
other than those you have added to the right column will be ignored. (You should add more
than what is in the screen shot, or leave it as Allow all EAS Codes)
