Alert Forwarding and sending to DVS168/EARS Client

 

Once forwarding and/or sending have been enabled, four information fields 
must be configured to identify the DVS-168/EARS host. See the provided 
screenshot. Enter the IP address, the IP port, the FTP user and password, 
select Audio File Sample Size, and the Audio File Sample Rate (Default is 
16000 Sample/sec).  Alerts with all FIPS codes can be forwarded by placing a 
check mark in the box to enable all FIPS to trigger DVS168/EARS device.  
Alerts for specific FIPS areas can also be filtered/passed through the protocol. 
Remove the check mark from the box that says 

All FIPS codes trigger

 the 

DVS168/EARS device to enable FIPS forwarding control. When configured, 
select a list of FIPS codes that will be used to check against the incoming 
forwarded alert. If any of these FIPS are included in the incoming forwarded 
alert, the alert will be sent to the DVS-168 client.   
 
Remove the check mark from the box that says 

All EAS codes trigger

 the 

DVS168/EARS device to enable EAS forwarding control. When configured, 
select a list of EAS codes that will be used to check against the incoming 
forwarded alert. If any of these EAS are included in the incoming forwarded 
alert, the alert will be sent to the DVS-168 client.
