Before you can configure the EAS on the DNCS, you must verify that your third-
party EAS equipment is configured and performing correctly. This chapter provides 
parameters that allow the EAC to communicate with the DNCS. This chapter also 
provides procedures to verify the performance of your specific third-party EAC and 
EAS, so that you can achieve optimum system performance when receiving and 
sending Emergency Alert Messages (EAMs). 

Important: Some configuration and troubleshooting information is provided for 
third-party equipment (such as MegaHertz, Trilithic, Monroe, and Frontline). 
However, you should always refer to the documentation that comes with that 
equipment when you configure or troubleshoot that equipment. The scope of this 
information is to make sure that equipment can communicate with our equipment, 
not to be a comprehensive configuration and troubleshooting guide for third-party 
equipment. 

This document provides configuration instructions for a centralized EAS. If you 
have a distributed EAS system, refer to the Distributed EAS on the Regional Control 
System, Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide (part number 4002342). 

If you have a system using tru2way (formerly OCAP) instead of SARA, refer to 
Configure the DNCS for tru2way EAS Installation and Operation Guide (part number 
4019780).
