4.8.1 Forwarding: Decoder Forwarding Configuration

The Decoder Forwarding Configuration sub-page is used to configure EAS alert forwarding. Forwarding is
when a decoded EAS is relayed out an audio output of the DASDEC II, presumably into a broadcast audio
signal. Forwarding can be automatic or manual. Forwarding can be set so that all alerts to any FIPS area are
forwarded, or it can be highly constrained so that only a select few EAS codes to specific FIPS areas are
forwarded. Use this page to configure station identity settings and to select how EAS alerts are forwarded. To
select the actual audio output port(s) for forwarded alerts, use a different Web Interface page. See Setup >
Audio > Decoder Audio. Active and expired Forwarded alert events can be examined in detail on the Decoder
> Forwarded Alerts event display page.
There are seven main configuration controls on this page:
1. Local Forwarding controls
2. Forwarding Serial Protocol
3. Auto or Manual Forwarding Operation
4. Pending Alert Acknowledgment
