DASDEC-III
Quick Start Guide
EAS alerts are identified by the type of alert and the associated counties the alert is meant to target. The DASDEC
should be set up to focus only on the alerts that affect your area based on counties, alerts you're required to process
by the FCC, and weather alerts applicable to the area.
To set up FIPS groups, navigate to Setup > Alert Agent > FIPS Groups. To configure the FIPS codes for your
required weekly tests, choose your FIPS state and identify the FIPS codes for the counties that need to be
(shown in blue). Select each FIPS codes that apply and add them to the box on the right
targeted

Setup the FIPS groups to aid in filtering alerts the
DASDEC-III decodes. In the "Manage FIPS Location
Group Lists", you can click the "Add New FIPS
Group" (shown in blue) to add a new group
followed by clicking the "Edit" button
to customize the group. FIPS groups created in this
section can be used to filter decoded alerts.
Start by naming the group; this will aid in
distinguishing one FIPS group from another
(shown in blue) followed by selecting the
state and FIPS codes that need to be added
to the group. Once finished click the
Accept Changes button to save your
changes (shown in purple).
EAS code groups are set up the same way as FIPS groups. Navigate to Setup > Alert Agent > EAS Code Groups
and perform the same steps used for creating a FIPS group. For Origination, select the EAS codes that apply.
The EAS code groups used for filtering will depend on what your station deems appropriate or required to
make it air.
Note: For groups created specifically to filter RMT's and IPAWS alerts should always include your state FIP code along
with your county FIPs codes.
