Digital EAS in a DBDS Using RCS
Digital Emergency Alert System in the Central RCS Site
Important: This process describes how the digital EAS works in a system that uses a Regional Control
System (RCS). The topic 
, describes how the digital EAS functions in a DBDS with
no RCS.
In an RCS, processes that manage EAMs reside both on the DNCS and on each remote RNCS/LIONN. Where
the EAM originates
 determines how the EAM is processed. When the EAM originates from an Emergency
Alert Controller (EAC) in the central site, the EARS process on the DNCS sends the MMMServer process an
Event EAM.
For more information on how an EAM is processed at the central site, see the following illustration. When
reviewing this illustration, keep in mind that the equipment that receives the EAM—the RF receiver and the
Emergency Alert Controller (EAC)—is provided by a vendor other than us.
