MultiStation Mode
When utilizing MultiStation Mode, Alert Nodes will enable separate Alert Definition
settings for each station. When a Node Criteria is matched with the incoming EAS
alert, each stations’ Alert Definition settings can be configured separately.
Forwarding Action, Play Scheduling, GPI Hold, Pre-Alert Audio, Alert Audio, Post-
