message validity and
location as usual. The “Entire State” location code (comprised of the state FIPS prefix with a 000 county
code) does not mean that the CAP-DEC 1 will trigger on alert messages addressed to any county in that state. Rather, for a
message to be translated and forwarded under this code, the message must be specifically addressed to the entire state by
inclusion of the entire state location code
– as might be the case for a statewide governor-generated message or the weekly
IPAWS RWT messages.
Email Setup

–
Read the following
section carefully.
If you wish to receive emailed reports of the CAP alerts received by the unit, as
well as connectivity issue notifications:
1. Enter email username in the box marked
“Admin E-Mail User Name”.
2.
Enter the outgoing email server address in the box marked “Server” and
the port number in the box marked “Port.”
3.
Enter the email user’s password in the box labeled “Pass.” (
passwords are AES encrypted and are not stored as plain text on the device
).
4. Mark the checkbox to Enable Email.
5. OPTIONAL: Enable additional email recipients by marking the checkbox
next to the first available entry field and enter the email address.
6.
Click the “Set Email Parameters” button to save the settings.
To turn off email alerts:
1. Uncheck the Enable Email box.
Test Emails
To verify correct email setup, click the “Send Test Email” button. If your settings are correct, you will
receive a “Mail Sent!” pop-up box and each listed recipient should receive a message including the CAP-
DEC 1 unit’s UNIT ID, the time the test message was sent, and the version number and build date of the
software.
If you have not entered the correct settings, you will receive a “Mail Not Sent! Check Settings” pop-up box.
Operational Emails
The CAP-DEC 1 unit will send emails upon successful processing of a CAP alert message. An email will
also be sent when the unit cannot connect to the CAP alert feed (provided that an active internet
connection is available) and when the unit successfully reconnects to the alert feed.
NOTE:
To help ensure that emails are received, be sure to add the administrator email address to your email
client’s “trusted
senders” list and ensure that your internet service provider (ISP) or local network settings are not preventing the use of the
SMTP utilized for sending emails.
