Manual

To whom it may concern: June 4, 2002

TFT, Inc. is a manufacturer of EAS Encoders/Decoders, who now seeks Type Certification of an

EAS Decoder (only) under FCC Rule Part 11.

On January 31, 1996, TFT, Inc. was granted Type Certification on an Emergency Alert System

Encoder/Decoder, FCC Identifier BIOEAS911, File No. 31010/EQU 4-3-4. The Decoder (only) for

which TFT now seeks Type Certification is part of the original Certification Application made on

November 10, 1995. Several of the Part 11 Compliance Tests for that application are incorporated

in this new application for an EAS Decoder (only) device, which does not function as an Encoder

as well.

In order to accomplish this, TFT has removed several circuits and components from the original

Encoder/Decoder in order to disable and defeat its functionality as an EAS Encoder. Because the

overall construction of the unit is not materially changed, all Decoder tests conducted for the

original application remains at no change and may apply to this application as well.

General

Until now a decoder-only for broadcast and cable applications of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Emergency

Alert System (EAS) has not existed. The EAS 911D is a decoder only, based on the proven performance of the TFT EAS 911

line of EAS Encoder/Decoders, that permits a broadcaster or cable operator to receive and forward EAS messages. These

operations may be handled either automatically for unmanned situations or manually with the assistance of an operator.

The EAS 911D has many of the features of the EAS 911 Encoder/Decoders, including a built-in impact printer, character

generator interfaces, a lighted numeric keypad, practice operation, and many visual indicators. The EAS 911D also features easy

set-up and operation with a combination of LCD and lighted key displays that guide an operator or installer through each step.

Decoder Section

The decoder section of the EAS 911D is programmed in the same fashion as the EAS 911 encoder/decoders. Password protection

allows an operator to set up all parameters associated with decoding EAS messages, including setting the current date and time,

setting the station time zone, automatic observance of daylight savings time, and the station’s FIPS (Federal Information

Processing System) code.

The decoder can be programmed for automatic forwarding of EAS messages when user-selected criteria of event selection and

location are met. The event code and location codes of an incoming EAS message are compared electronically to lists stored in

setup of the EAS 911D to decide whether a message should automatically forwarded. If there is a match of both the event field

and at least one of the location fields, the message will be automatically forwarded.

Also in setting up the EAS 911D several interfaces are available for video character generators. These character generators are

available in both analog and digital versions. Some interfaces even permit setting of character generator parameters from the EAS

911D. The user can also select whether text for the Required Weekly Test (RWT) is sent to the character generator or not.

In Setup Mode, the EAS 911D can also record a short voice announcement (used for cable television system compliance), set the

alert time-out, and enable a one-button method of manually forwarding a message.

Receiver Section

Built into the EAS 911D are two receiver modules for receiving the two FCC mandated monitoring assignments. These receivers

are frequency agile for both AM and FM broadcast and can be configured in any combination if specified at time of order.

The frequency for each receiver is set with rotary DIP switches behind an access panel on the front of the unit. All standard

broadcast frequencies can be digitally set.

Front Panel

The EAS 911D front panel is laid out to guide the installer or operator through all the functions necessary to program and operate

the unit. In addition to the lighted numeric keypad, the front panel also has other pushbuttons for password, cancel, practice,

header send, EOM send, message waiting acknowledgment, manual forwarding, mode switching, and review of both the header

and audio portions of an EAS message. Indicators for receiver signal levels, an alert relay closure, an on-air relay closure, and

auto/man functions clearly show status of the decoder at a single glance.

A speaker key permits audio monitoring of the two built-in receivers and the digital audio recorder. The speaker key also changes

the function of the LCD to a bargraph to provide a visual indication of receiver operation.

Rear Panel

Connectors for RF inputs to the receivers, speaker/printer inhibit, balanced audio output, on-air relay, message alert relay, and

digital ports are located on the rear. A professional 120 VAC/60 Hz power and fuse receptacle are also provided.

Note: This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased,

until authorization is obtained.

1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The EAS DECODER is a combined Emergency Alert System (EAS) Decoder and Receivers that enables broadcasters and

cablecasters to receive, store, forward Emergency Alert Messages as required by the FCC’s EAS Rules. By using the

EAS digital protocol prescribed by the FCC, the EAS DECODER can function as a sentinel to alert operators to the

receipt of emergency messages. Forwarding of only certain messages with a minimum of operator intervention can be

achieved selectively, simply, and automatically.

Although the EAS DECODER stores all received messages, it only forwards and interrupts programming for those

messages that meet broadcasters’ or cablecasters’ specific instructions. These instructions, protected by two levels of

security, relieve the operator of needing to make crucial decisions at critical times. Emergency messages can then travel

quickly and efficiently through the Emergency Alert System.

1-2

The EAS DECODER has two operating modes: automatic and manual. In automatic mo de, only those messages which meet

specific criteria are forwarded to the transmitter. With the exception of the required national level events, only messages

“tagged” by management are allowed to interrupt programming. For minimal or unattended operation, the EAS DECODER

can perform all the critical emergency alert functions in automatic mode with the voice recorder without operator assistance.

For manual mode, no messages are forwarded, except for required national level messages, unless sent by an operator. All

incoming messages are recorded, and their header information is stored and available for review or subsequent manual

forwarding.

An digital voice message recording unit makes an incoming audio message of up to two minutes always available for the

operator’s immediate review. The operator can then decide whether to forward the last message received after review of the

complete header and voice announcement. With the EAS DECODER voice recorder it is not necessary for the operator to

transcribe or remember text. An LCD display gives the operator instant access to the last ten messages either received or

sent. The digital voice message recorder allows automatic forwarding.

Two audio inputs and one RS-232 data input are standard on the EAS DECODER to connect to receivers for the two required

monitoring assignments of the new EAS. A single audio output connects to external audio switching and distribution

systems or to a TFT transmitter/program interrupt unit. This interrupt unit provides four balanced, isolated input and output

channels that are switched to a combined common signal during an emergency message transmission. The common audio

output provided by the EAS DECODER contains all the header, Attention Signal and EOM codes in proper EAS format for

emergency alerting.

The EAS DECODER can accommodate various external equipment to comprise a complete Emergency Alert

System. Some of this equipment is described in the following paragraphs.

2.6.1 TFT EAS 930A Multi-Module Receiver

The TFT Model 930 Receiver System is a separate, 1-3/4" rack-mount chassis. It can accommodate up to four

different plug-in receiver types:

• AM

• FM

• NOAA Weather Radio

• (Spare)

These receivers can be used as sources for the EAS DECODER audio inputs. This allows a user to plug up to four

different receivers into the chassis, then connect them to the EAS DECODER. There is one output per receiver. A

separate data sheet is available for the TFT EAS 930 receiver.

2.6.2 TFT EAS 940A Program/Transmitter Interrupt Unit

The TFT Model EAS 940 Program transmitter Interrupt unit interrupts a station's audio program to insert an EAS

Header and voice message. Normal program audio is resumed at the conclusion of the message.

The EAS 940 has four program inputs, an EAS audio input and four program outputs. During an EAS alert, the

EAS audio is routed to all four program outputs. It uses internal audio relays, and it connects to ON-AIR relay

contacts J106 and audio output J4 on the EAS DECODER rear panel. The EAS 940 can be located up to 2,000 feet

from the EAS DECODER.

2.7 PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Before installing your TFT EAS DECODER, you should be familiar with the requirements of Part 11 of the FCC

rules. The TFT EAS Handbook includes a complete set of these rules along with helpful diagrams.

2.7.1 Obtaining A Copy of the Operational Area/State Plan

The TFT EAS DECODER is very flexible and can be adapted to your Operational Area/State Plan. To obtain a copy

of the plan, contact your State’s Emergency Coordinator or the broadcast representative for your operational area.

Names of State and local contacts are available from the FCC EAS office in Washington, D.C.

2.7.2 Obtaining Two FCC-Assigned Stations to Monitor

The EAS requires monitoring two stations in your area. These stations are listed in the operational Area/State Plan

and in the FCC Mapbook, which is also available from the FCC EAS office in Washington, D.C. In most, but not all

cases, the FCC assigned stations will be AM or FM broadcast stations.

2.7.3 Optional/Additional Monitoring

In addition to the FCC assigned stations it may be desirable to monitor other sources and originators of emergency

information who may transmit EAS protocol messages, such as NOAA Weather Radio and local government

authorities.

4.1 INTRODUCTION

The EAS DECODER can be programmed to customize its configuration and to automate its operation. EAS

DECODER programming techniques are described in this section.

4.2 EAS MESSAGE OVERVIEW

A four-part message is used to activate the Emergency Alert System:

1. Preamble and EAS Header Codes

2. Two-tone audio Attention Signal*

3. Voice or text message*

4. Preamble and EAS End Of Message (EOM) Codes.

* Not used in the required weekly tests.

The message is shown pictorially in Figure 4.2-1.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THI

Figure 4.2-1 EAS Message Timing Diagram

4-2

The Preamble and EAS Header Codes are transmitted using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) at a rate of 520.83 bits

per second. Mark frequency is 2083.3 Hz, and Space frequency is 1562.5 Hz. Mark and Space times are 1.92

milliseconds. Characters are ASCII 7-bit as defined in ANSI X3.4-1977.

The Attention Signal is transmitted after the EAS header codes and is made up of two simultaneously transmitted

tones. The fundamental frequencies of these tones are 853 and 960 Hz.

4.2.1 The EAS Header

The EAS header consists of seven segments:

• Preamble Sync Code

• Originator ID*

• Event Code*

• Location code (including county subdivision code)*

SECTION V

INSTALLATION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

This section describes the installation of the EAS DECODER and its related options and equipment after it has been

programmed according to methods described in Section IV. The EAS DECODER installation requires the Encoder

output and Decoder input level adjustment, as well as connecting the various optional and related equipment onto

the EAS DECODER Rear Panel.

Electrical ground for the EAS DECODER is established through the AC power cord. If a mo re substantial technical

ground is available, it may be connected to the chassis box directly, using a short piece of braid. Proper grounding,

good engineering practice, and safety depend on the knowledge and care of the installing engineer.

The EAS DECODER is designed to mount in a 19” rack or cabinet using (4) 12-24 pan head machine screws.

Mounting requirements: Size: 5.25”H x 19”W x 10”D Maximum. Weight: Approximately 14 lbs.

Power requirements: Input power: 117 VAC @ 60 Hz, 50 watts maximum, 3 Prong Power Cord - UL style SVT

Environmental requirements: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).

General Hazards:

a. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.

Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the

maximum rated ambient temperature.

b. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

c. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not

achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

d. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply

wiring.

e. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mo unted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention

should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power

strips)

5.2 AUDIO OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

FCC regulations state that Broadcast stations are responsible for ensuring that the equipment for generating the EAS

codes and the Attention Signal can modulate a broadcast station transmitter at no less than 80% of main channel

modulation. Measured at peak modulation levels, each of the Attention Signal tones should modulate the transmitter

at not less than 40%. These two calibrated modulation levels should have values that are within 1 dB of each other.

This procedure sets the proper signal level at the audio output of the EAS DECODER Connections are made to the

AUDIO OUTPUT, J4, with a standard XLR connector.

1. Enter the primary password. the LCD Screen will display SELECT EVENT.

2. Press the ENTER key in the Decoder section of the front panel. The LCD Screen will display

supplied mating connectors for J102. The pins are numbered from left to right when viewing the back panel.

Pinouts are defined as:

Pin Description

1 CH3 + AUDIO INPUT

2 CH3 SHIELD GROUND

3 CH3 - AUDIO INPUT

4 CH4 + AUDIO INPUT

5 CH4 SHIELD GROUND

6 CH4- AUDIO INPUT

Note:

The Decoder input can accommodate signals at levels of 0.5 Vp-p to 2 Vp-p. It is

desirable to keep the Decoder input level at 1.5 Vp-p to utilize its full dynamic

range.

1. Connect the received audio source to J102, Channel 3.

2. Press the SPKR key to activate the speaker on Channel 3. The LCD Screen will show the channel

number followed by the audio signal level in bar chart form.

3. Observe the incoming level of the source.

4. If necessary, adjust the monitoring source output level for proper indication. Do not allow audio level

to exceed 2 V on peaks.

5. Each time the SPKR key is pressed, it advances to the next channel in sequence. The speaker mutes

after the last channel is exited. The SPKR LED illuminates when the speaker is active.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for J102, Channel 4, 5, 6 .

5.4 DIGITAL INTERFACE J103 (RS-232)

The Digital Interface J103 RS-232 Port is the digital data input required by 11.33(a)(1) of the FCC Rules. It is

mandated to be RS-232C with standard protocol and 1200 baud rate. Although it could be used, as described by the

FCC, for Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), NWR, satellite, public switched telephone network, or other

sources that may in future applications use EAS protocol, no specific standard is defined. Therefore, this interface

connector is reserved for future expansion.

5.5 DIGITAL INTERFACE J104 (RS-232)

The Digital Interface J104 RS-232 Port is the digital data output required by 11.32(a)(3) of the FCC Rules. It is

mandated to be for data messages (RS-232C with standard protocol and 1200 baud rate) for future applications.

5.6 THE ON-AIR RELAY

The On-Air Relay operates (closes) when the EAS Decoder is in Auto mode and a valid and "tagged" EAS message

is received, or when a message is manually forwarded. The relay provides a single set of dry contacts, rated 60DVC,

3A. Contacts are Normally Open. The relay can be used to control the TFT Model 940 Program/Transmitter

Interrupt unit.

The On-Air Relay closes only when the 911D transmits a header, attention signal, voice recording, or EOM.

5-3

5.7 THE ALERT RELAY

The Alert Relay operates (closes) when a valid EAS header is detected by the Decoder. The relay provides a single

set of dry contacts, rated 3 A 250 VAC. Contacts are Normally Open. When the relay operates, it remains closed

until reset either locally or by remote control, or upon detection of an EOM. If no EOM is detected the relay will

reset after 2 minutes except during an EAN or EAT alert.

Note:

Receipt of an EAN or EAT alert defeats the manual reset capability of the Alert

Relay. When an EAN or EAT alert is received, the relay will reset only upon

detection of an EOM.

The Alert Relay contacts are available at rear panel connector J107.

5.8 PRINTER/SPEAKER INHIBIT (J109)

8.5 FM Radio Antenna Installation

The FM Receivers can typically share an outdoor VHF antenna. The antenna output is applied to

an FM/TV 2-way signal splitter which is supplied with the EAS DECODER. The type of VHF

antenna can be a Radio Shack VHF/FM Stereo antenna, Part No. 15-2158 or Part No. 15-2164

for shorter receiving distances.

The splitter outputs are fed to the EAS DECODER FM Receiver inputs.

8.6 AM Antenna Installation

In high or moderate signal strength areas, the AM Receiver may operate satisfactorily using the

indoor loop antenna supplied with the EAS DECODER. In weaker signal strength areas, an

outdoor antenna may be required. An end-fed long-wire antenna (approximately 250 ft.) can be

used with good results. One end of the long wire should be connected at the rear panel AM

Receiver module’s RF INPUT.

8.7 Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)

Test Point TP1 located next to the frequency selection switches on each receiver module is the

SECTION IX

THEORY OF OPERATION

9.1 The EAS Information Super Highway

The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a nationwide network of radio and television broadcast and cable facilities

that can originate or receive and forward (re-transmit) event- and location-specific Emergency Alert messages.

Alert messages can originate from the White House, state and local safety agencies, Emergency Operation Centers

(EOC), and the National Weather Service (85% of alerts are weather related).

When an agency is sues an Alert, it transmits an EAS header and message to local AM, FM, and TV stations and

cable systems which, in turn, broadcast the message to the general public if the message matches the local

requirements. The public can receive alert messages in a matter of seconds and can react quickly to impending

emergencies.

The EAS message contains digitally encoded event and location information in addition to a normal voice or text

announcement. The encoded information permits the network of broadcast and cable stations to decode messages

and forward them automatically or manually to a specific area affected by the emergency alert.

9.2 The EAS DECODER: An Overview

The EAS DECODER is similar to a smart telephone answering machine. It receives and screens messages on one or

two, records and stores them, and forwards selected messages manually or automatically.

The digital header in the incoming message is decoded and translated, then displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display

(LCD) and logged on the printer. The event and location data is compared with the data stored in the Setup memory

to determine if it should be forwarded.

If the alert message is to be forwarded, the EAS DECODER inserts a new I.D. code and re-transmits it, along with a

two-tone Attention Signal, the recorded voice message and an End Of Message signal. Forwarding can occur

automatically or after operator intervention.

Refer to Figure 9.2 for a simplified block diagram of the EAS DECODER.

9.3 A Closer Look: Detailed System Block Diagram

The EAS DECODER system consists of the Main Board, the Encoder and Decoder keyboards, the LCD Display

Assembly, the Digital Voice Recorder, the Comm Expander and the Printer. Figure 1 in Appendix A illustrates the

EAS DECODER system blocks in detail.

9.4 Main Board (Figure 2, Appendix A)

The EAS DECODER Main Board consists of three major system blocks: Audio Loop-Through and Switching,

Digital Signal Processor/CPU, and Input/Output Control.

9.4.1 Audio Loop Through and Switching (Figure 2, Appendix A)

The audio buffering, switching and control section is illustrated on sheet 1 of the Main Board schematic drawing

(6601-4060).

U1 and U2 provide two balanced input amplifiers for the Channel 1 and 2 audio inputs. Analog switches U3, U8 and

U10 route audio signals to and from the inputs, outputs and voice recorder. U4 and U5 are Coders/Decoders

(CODECs) that convert the audio signals to digital data, and vice-versa. U7 provides two buffer amplifiers at the

outputs of the CODECs. U11 is the internal speaker amplifier; U12 provides a balanced audio EAS message output.

9.4.2 Digital Signal Processor/CPU (Figure 2, Appendix A)

The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) section and its related logic is illustrated on sheet 2 of the schematic drawing

(6601-4060).

U14 is a Texas Instruments TMS320C26 digital signal processor that performs all encoding and decoding functions,

and controls all I/O activity. U13 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It generates all internal timing

signals and performs all internal digital signal routing. U15 is a real-time clock and provides battery backed-up

memory for long term storage of setup information. U16 and U18 are the system random access memory (RAM);

U17 and U19 are the system read-only program memory. U21 is a reset circuit and watchdog timer.

9.4.3 Input/Output Control (Figure 2, Appendix A)

Input/Output buffering and control for system peripherals and related equipment, is illustrated on sheet 3 of the

schematic drawing (6601-4060).

U25 through U29 are latches that control the printer, liquid crystal display (LCD), four port communication

expander, audio multiplexers and relays. U23 controls the On-Air and Alert relays. U22 and U30 provide RS-232

inputs and outputs.

9.5 Left Section Key Pad (Figure 4, Appendix A)

U501, U505. U509, U503, U507 and U511 in series form a 48-bit serial-to-parallel shift register that is used to

illuminate the 40 encoder board LEDs. The bits of LED data are shifted in to the keyboard by the I/O control

section, above, and then enabled to illuminate or flash the LEDs.

U512, U510, U508, U506, U504 and U502 in series form a 48-bit parallel-to-serial shift register that is used to sense

the 41 encoder key switches. The bits of switch data are shifted out of the encoder keyboard by the I/O control

section, above, and are then interpreted by the DSP/CPU.

9-3

9.6 Right Section Key Pad (Figure 6, Appendix A)

U601 and U603 in series form a 16-bit serial-to-parallel shift register that is used to illuminate the 12 decoder board

LEDs. The bits of LED data are shifted in to the keyboard by the I/O control section, and then enabled to illuminate

or flash the LEDs.

U604 and U602 in series form a 16-bit parallel-to-serial shift register that is used to sense the ten decoder key

switches. The bits of switch data are shifted out of the decoder keyboard by the I/O control section, above, and are

then interpreted by the DSP/CPU.

9.7 LCD Display Assembly

The LCD Display Assembly is a 16-character back-lit display with contrast controlled by setup software. The LCD

assembly is controlled by the FPGA through an 8-bit parallel data interface at U26 on the main board.

9.8 Digital Voice Recorder (Figure 8, Appendix A)

U3 is a sampling analog-to-digital (A-D) and digital-to-analog (D-A) converter that converts incoming voice

messages to digital data and stores the data in memories U5, U6, U7, U8 and U9. U10 and U11 select memory

locations for voice storage. To play back a message, U3 retrieves digital data from the memories and converts it

back into its original analog form.

U4 and U12 provide audio signal buffering, gain, and Automatic Level Control (ALC).

U2 controls the routing of the audio input and output signals. The FPGA on the main board controls U3 and U2

through an 8-bit parallel data interface at U1.

9.9 Printer

An 24-column ASCII impact printer is controlled by the FPGA through an 8-bit parallel data interface.

9.10 COM Port Expander (Figure 12, Appendix A)

An COM Port Expander provides communication links to external EAS DECODER related equipment such as a

character generator or PC controller.

U302 and U303 are Dual Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (DUARTs) that convert parallel data to serial data,

and vice-versa. They transmit data to and from the main board through an 8-bit parallel interface at U301. They

transmit data to COM2 outputs through EIA quad line driver U306. They receive data from COM2 from EIA quad

line receiver U305. The DUARTs are controlled by the FPGA on the main board.

10.5 DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR

Since most EAS DECODER users have limited diagnostic and repair facilities, the most practical maintenance

philosophy is repair by circuit card replacement. It is recommended that spare circuit cards be on hand, together with

an alternative plan for operation while repairs are being made.

Some general (and very important) observations on repair:

1. The EAS DECODER series of equipment uses static sensitive components. ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)

precautions must therefore be observed during repairs. This is extremely important.

2. The EAS DECODER breaks down into subassemblies located on individual circuit cards and, in general,

card level replacement is best maintenance philosophy.

3. The Theory Of Operation Section (Section VIX) is helpful in understanding how the EAS DECODER

equipment functions and will help you with diagnostics, as it covers the jobs performed by each major

component and subsystem.

10-6

10.6 TROUBLESHOOTING

FIPS CODE LISTINGS

How to Use the FIPS Code Listings

The Header of an EAS Alert Message contains a location code which designates the geographical area affected by

the alert. The location code contains 6-digits formatted PSSCCC, where:

P indicates the county subdivision.

SS indicates the state.

CCC indicates the county.

The P digit of the location code has a range of 0 to 9 and specifies a portion of a county:

1 = Northwest, 6 = East

2 = North 7 = Southwest

3 = Northeast, 8 = South

4 = West 9 = Southeast

5 = Central 0 = all or an unspecified portion of a county

The SSCCC portion of the location code designates the State and County affected by the Alert message. It uses the

Federal Information Processing System (FIPS) code as described by the U.S. Department of Commerce in National

Institute of Standards and Technology publication 772. Each state is assigned a 2-digit code (SS). Each county is

assigned a 3-digit code (CCC). A CCC code of 000 refers to an entire State or Territory.

State FIPS codes (SS) are 2-digit ascending numbers 01 to 56 assigned to an alphabetically ordered list of states as

shown in Table C-1. Table C-1. State FIPS Codes

EAS DECODER TO VIDEO CHARACTER GENERATOR INTERFACE

1. Introduction

This specification describes the data and audio interface between the TFT EAS 911D and a video character

generator (CG). The interconnections between the EAS 911D and the CG are through the COM2 J302, AUDIO

OUTPUT J101, and the ON-AIR relay J106 on the rear panel of the EAS 911D. See section 5 of this Appendix

for details.

2. General Sequence and Comments

The protocol between the CG and EAS 911D is a hand-shaking sequence of codes for the CG and EAS 911D to

communicate with each other in order to request or acknowledge header, audio, EOM or other data or audio

transfer. The general sequence is for the Character Generator to request action after the EAS 911D informs the

CG that a message is available. Please see the Protocol Table in Section 3 for details.

3.1 Remarks

A. The EAS 911D will attempt to notify the CG that a message is available (Step 1A) up to 3 times with a 2

second pause between each attempt. The CG should acknowledge this notification with a request for more

information about the message - for instance by requesting a translation of the EAS header, Step 3A. If the

CG does not respond the EAS 911D will abort message transmission.

B. The above protocol describes a sequence for initial message transmission. The CG may request information

on the last transmitted message at a later time. However, in the interim the optional alert voice message may

have been updated by an incoming non-forwardable message.

C. During the initial message transmission protocol sequence, the EAS 911D will wait a maximum of 2

minutes for a request from the CG. If 2 minutes elapses without a request from the CG, the EAS 11 will

timeout. After a timeout the EAS 911D transmit an exception code (Step 8) and abort message

transmission.

D. The EAS 911D will not interact with the CG when in Practice Mode.

E. This command is intended to allow the On-Air relay to remain closed after each segment of the audio

transmission, until the Open On-Air Relay command is received. When decoded, it initiates a 45-second

timer. The Open On-Air Relay command will cause the On-Air relay to open as soon as the 45-second

timer has expired.

F. This command is intended to be used in conjunction with the Inhibit Opening Relay command. It should

normally be issued after all audio transmissions have been completed. The relay will open as soon as the

45-second timer initiated with the Inhibit Opening Relay command has expired.

G. This command allows the used to close the On-Air relay independent of any EAS 911D activity. Once

closed, the relay will remain closed until another command or transmission causes it to open.

H. (Purposely omitted)

I. All “Request Audio” commands 13-17 above) will be acknowledged by the EAS 911D when the audio is

completed by sending the same command sequence to the I/F.

J. The EAS 911D response to commands 13 to 17 and 19 above is identical to the original protocol, except that

13, 14 and 15 are now subsets of the original commands for continuous audio sequences. In addition, the

acknowledge sequences reflect the new hex command values.

K. The EAS 911D response to command 18 above is identical to the original protocol output of the header to

the I/F, except wit the new command byte inserted, i.e.:

STX + Hex0x1C + EAS Header + ETX.

E-4

L. Commands 20 and 21 above are available only when enabled via ALTERNATE I/F A and when the EAS

911D is connected to an EAS 943 Telephone Access Unit.

4.0 Mode of Operation

A suggested operation and initial message transmission protocol sequence for each kind of transmission the EAS

911D may initiate follows.

4.1 When the EAS 911D is operated in Auto Mode and a non-priority message is being automatically

forwarded:

a. EAS 911D informs CG that it has a message to transmit (Step 1).

b. CG requests header translation (Step 3A).

c. The EAS 911D transmits the header translation (Step 3B).

d. The CG requests the audio header and attention signal (Step 4A).

e. The EAS 911D transmits audio (Step 4B) followed by data acknowledge (Step 4C).

f. CG requests alert voice message and audio EOM (Step 5A).

g. The EAS 911D transmits alert voice and audio EOM (Step 5B) followed by data acknowledge

(Step 5C).

4.2 When the EAS 911D is operated in Manual Mode and the last received message is being manually

forwarded by an operator:

a. Operator presses flashing SEND HEADER key on the EAS 911D front panel.

b. The EAS 911D informs the CG that it has a message to transmit (Step 1).

c. CG requests header translation (Step 3A).

d. The EAS 911D transmits the header translation (Step 3B).

e. The CG requests the audio header and attention signal (Step 4A).

f. The EAS 911D transmits audio (Step 4B) followed by data acknowledge (Step 4C).

g. CG requests alert voice message and EOM (Step 5A).

h. The EAS 911D transmits the last audio alert voice message (Step 5B*) and then flashes the SEND

EOM LED on the front panel.

i. The operator presses SEND EOM on the EAS 911D front panel.

j. The EAS 911D transmits audio EOM (Step 5B*) followed by data acknowledge (Step 5C).

4.3 When the EAS 911D is transmitting an encoded message:

Steps a - g are the same as for a manually forwarded message, described in 4.2.

h. The EAS 911D flashes the SEND EOM LED on the front panel.

Steps i and j are the same as for a manually forwarded message, described in 4.2.

4.4 When the EAS 911D is auto forwarding a priority message (event code is "EAN" or "EAT"):

a. EAS 911D informs CG that it has a message to transmit (Step 1).

b. The CG should IMMEDIATELY request the audio header and attention signal (Step 4A).

c. The EAS 911D transmits audio (Step 4B) followed by data acknowledge (Step 4C).

d. The CG should IMMEDIATELY request alert voice message and EOM (Step 5A).

e. The EAS 911D will begin audio feed-through to transmit the incoming priority alert voice message

directly out the XLR audio output (Step 5B*). The CG should monitor and broadcast this audio.

When the EAS 911D receives an EOM for the priority message it will transmit the audio EOM

(Step 5B*) and then send data acknowledge (Step 5C) to the CG.
