Chapter 2    Verify Your EAS Equipment Configuration 
 
 
 
4024428 Rev B 
Overview 
Before you can configure the EAS on the ISDS, you must verify that your third-party 
EAS equipment is configured and performing correctly. This section provides 
parameters that allow the EAC to communicate with the ISDS. This section 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. 
These instructions are valid for all network types and locations (non-RCS networks, 
central RCS sites, and remote RCS sites). 
Note: In an RCS network, you need to verify your EAS equipment configuration at 
the central site and at each remote site.
