CAP Server Host Address
This is the address of the server that you want to receive CAP Alerts from. In order to
use a URL, a DNS connection must be enabled. Go to Server Network Configuration
section at
Setup > Network
to change your DNS options or use the hyperlink.
URL path portion and/or remote path and file name
Put the URL path of the server that you want to receive CAP Alerts from.
Poll Interval in Seconds
This is the number of seconds the EAS device will take before it checks for another CAP
Alert.
Assigned Station ID
Use this value to give the server that you are receiving CAP Alerts from an ID that will
appear on the log of Decoded alerts.
CAP alerts with any FIPS codes will be converted to EAS
This option, when enabled, will convert CAP Alerts that are sent to any FIPS location to
EAS on the EAS device. It is recommended this option be
DISABLED
as you won’t need
to know all of the cap alerts that are going on around the country. When this option
is disabled, enter the desired FIPS Group. The FCC requires reception of CAP Alerts for
your county, and your entire state - not every specific county in the state, but the op
-
tion that gives you the entire state FIPS code.
