EAS Origination (ORG) Code
The ORG code is a standard part of the EAS audio protocol. It is placed in the EAS
alert message when the encoder originates an EAS alert. The same code is used for
forwarded alerts. MultiStation operation allows this value to be overridden per station
definition. This code categorizes the type of organization sending the EAS. Use the
selection menu to choose the EAS Origination code for your system:
•
EAS – Broadcast station or cable system
•
CIV – Civil authorities
•
WXR – National Weather Service
•
PEP – Primary Entry Point System
Custom text for origination (ORG) code string
Default is disabled. The origination codes are given a standard text translation when an
encoded EAS alert is sent to a video display. When an EAS origination code is used, the
alert text will start with the phrase “A Broadcast or Cable System has issued.” Checking
the Custom Text option allows a custom translation to be used instead.
In the screen shot above, Custom Text is enabled. When enabled, a text entry box is
displayed in which you can enter the organization name issuing the alert for Custom
Origination (ORG) Code Translation. In the screen shot, the phrase, “A BROADCASTER”
has been entered as the custom text. The EAS translation text will use this phrase
instead of the generic “A Broadcast or Cable System.” The phrase “HAS ISSUED” follows
the custom organization name in the alert translation.
