.
To set the FIPS location(s) for the alert code, select from the list presented in the box under Available FIPS

added using the FIPS selection table.
As you build the list of current FIPS locations for the alert, the locations display on the right in the Selected FIPS
Location Codes box. The sub-region of the FIPS location can be edited for every chosen location. If a different
sub-region is desired, select one of the choices presented in the pull-down menu displayed to the left of the FIPS
code.
If a FIPS location should be removed from the list for the alert, click the
chosen FIPS entry.
After you select the FIPS location(s), the "Alert NOT Ready..." message changes to a
alert can be sent immediately if no audio message is needed. However, often the alert should have Pre-Alert
Audio Announcement or an Audio File. After the alert play-out, the selected FIPS codes remain in place.
7. Alert header and standard translation
Use the toggle box to view the alert header encode string and the alert translation for the currently constructed
alert. When enabled, the actual EAS encode string is displayed. Below this is the current translation. The label
above the translation will state if the translation is the basic standard translation or one with a Custom Origination
String. The label is a text link to the Setup Encoder > General Alerts screen so you can make changes as
needed.
8. Select Video/CG/Net Translation Option (Plus Package license required)
Use the radio buttons to select either option from Standard Translation through Custom Translation Only. For
custom translations, a text entry field displays where the text can be entered.
The translation used for the local video details and the serial CG can be edited with the provided options. The
default is to use just the standard translation. Options are provided to add a custom message in front of, after, or
instead of the standard translation. Keep in mind that this custom text is NOT transmitted in the video output of
the DASDEC II.
