Remote CAP Server Setup
Select CAP Input Client
This Drop-down menu allows you to choose which CAP client you are configuring. The default clients are,
CAP PUSH INPUT and HTTP Get Client1.
The CAP PUSH INPUT is available if you want to Receive CAP Alerts from a remote push server.
Though this option is available, it is not used often. If it were used, FEMA would have to know all of the
specific IP addresses that it was pushing CAP Alerts to. Because FEMA does not know your DASDEC's
IP Address location, it is not going to push an alert to you this way. It is recommended that this client
interface is disabled.
For the HTTP Get Client1 default option, you can choose between a few CAP Polling Protocols. Choose
between HTTP, HTTPS, SSH and the IPAWS Open 2.0 option.
