DVS644 (SCTE18)

Offers communication with edge decoders and some of the 

latest digital set-top-boxes to send alert messages. This, in 

conjunction with Stream MPEG, provides a complete digital 

solution in one box for cable EAS requirements. 

Requires a 

valid DVS644 (SCTE18) license key

.

Stream MPEG

An EAS device can uni-cast or multicast an MPEG2 video/

audio details page. 

Requires a valid Stream MPEG 1/2 license 

key.

Net CG

Communication with network-based character generators is 

configured via this interface. 

Net Switch

Network-based control of external switching devices.

Net GPIO

External GPIO devices are configured and controlled through 

this interface. 

DASDEC Only

.

Hub Controller

External GPIO devices are configured and controlled through 

this interface. 

One-Net Only

.

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 > Main/License

. (See the Server Setup 

- Main/License

 

section of this chapter) License keys may be purchased from Monroe 

Electronics / Digital Alert Systems.

All of the 

Setup > Net Alerts

 options require the use of the Accept Changes button for 

submitting changes.

MultiStation mode: 

When MultiStation mode is enabled, the Net Alert client interfaces 

used per station are selectable. 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 individual station Net Alert assignments 

within the desired station sub-tab screen under 

Setup > Station

.

 

DVS 168

The DVS168 sub-tab provides an interface to a single DVS-168 client. If the DVS-168 

sub-tab is available, use this screen to enable this protocol for forwarding and/or 

sending alerts.

Note

For configurations requiring 

more than a single DVS-168 

interface, an EAS NET license 

key is needed.
