Digital Alert Systems: DASDEC User Manual 1

INTRODUCTIONTOTHEDASDECIIandtheUSERMANUAL

The DASDEC II is an Emergency Alert System (EAS) Analog and Digital Encoder/Decoder platform. It is easy

to use and relatively easy to learn. Generally, DASDEC Web interface screens (web pages) are self-

explanatory. Some users may be able to experiment with features with satisfactory results. However,

DASDEC offers a large number of features and automated functions, plus a variety of shortcuts. Referring to

this manual frequently will increase understanding and decrease learning time for successful, customized

operation.

All DASDEC II features are licensed. The full range of licensing permissions enables uses all available

features. Limited licensing permission allows use of only the limited features. This manual reviews every

DASDEC II screen and explains all DASDEC II features and options, regardless of the user's licensing

permissions.

We suggest you first review the manual's Table of Contents for an overview of features and tasks you need to

complete. The Table of Contents presents the SETUP chapters in the most efficient way to configure

DASDEC II step-by-step. To further assist you in setting up the DASDEC II platform, the manual has a

checklist of tasks for DASDEC II Setup, in the order they should be completed. For best results, we strongly

suggest first time users follow the instructions in order they are presented.

Besides the Table of Contents, other Chapters of the manual will improve efficiency in set up for you like:

An explanation of how DASDEC II screens are organized and how to navigate within DASDEC II. (Refer to

Chapter 3.3 DASDEC II Page Organization, Web Interface and Navigation)

An electronic version of the DASDEC II Manual is on the DAS website www.digitalalertsystems.com in both

PDF and HTML formats.

New features continue to be added to the DASDEC II platform. This manual is updated either in entirety, or by

addendum, as new features become available.

Your comments!

Your comments on the usefulness of the manual, or suggestions for improvement, are welcome. Please let us

know how we can serve you better. Send comments to Digital Alert Systems; specifics are on the second

page of this manual

A Note to the User: There are a lot of customization settings that are available for the DASDEC. Just because

they are there does not mean they need to be turned on or enabled. KEEP YOUR DASDEC AS SIMPLE AS

YOU CAN. Do not blindly turn on settings without knowing exactly how they will influence the operation of your

DASDEC. There are many major settings that need to be turned on in order for the device to run properly, but

there are many more minor settings that are there for the very specific needs of customers. Those minor settings

should be watched with care as they will directly change the outcome of emergency alerts.

Thank you for purchasing a DASDEC

The Formatting of this Manual

The manual describes all DASDEC II features, gives step-by-step instructions, and includes sample screen shots for quick

reference. Chapters are organized starting with information and configurations of the hardware, and then leads to explaining

the individual features of the software of your DASDEC II.

Organization of Manual for Setting up your DASDEC II

The SETUP chapters are in the order the tasks should be completed. The order guides a first time user through basic setup in

the most efficient way to configure DASDEC II step-by-step and set up the DASDEC II platform. Common functions have step-

by-step instructions. Example screen shots are included for quick reference. The SETUP chapters also thoroughly explain the

individual parts associated with the DASDEC II.

For best results, we strongly suggest first time users follow the setup instructions in the order or close to the order

presented.

After basic setup instructions, the manual continues with advanced configurations. When you complete basic set-up and the

DASDEC II is operating successfully, you may wish to explore advanced features. These include detailed discussion of

customizing features and integrating DASDEC II with other software applications.

Conventions used in this Manual (Symbols, Links, Screenshots, Notes)

To assist you in using this manual, we explain the following conventions.

The symbol > indicates selecting a major tabbed page in the standard page header, followed by selecting a radio button and

then a sub-tab. For example, Setup > Server > Upgrade means to first select the Setup tabbed page, then click the Server

button, then click the Upgrade sub-tab.

Screen names, or page titles, are in bold text.

Different buttons and links will be presented as they are shown in a screenshot or as you would see them on the screen. For

example, or and likewise, could be referenced to give direction to the user.

Features on the interactive web page are typically presented from top to bottom within each section of the page. Many

DASDEC II screens are divided into sections by one or more horizontal lines. The lines are intended to assist the user by

grouping related functions similarly to the way a manual is divided into sections. A feature on the interactive page is typically

presented in bold type, followed by a discussion of its use and instructions.

A screen shot is an image to show the visible items on the monitor when certain DASDEC II selections are made or activity is

ongoing. The image demonstrates a feature or particular setup. A screen shot is generally the result of following the

instructions in the manual for a particular task. Each screen shot is labeled underneath with the name of the DASDEC II

screen, or web page.

A NOTE offers general information about the feature discussed or a suggestion to avoid problems. It looks like this:

1 DASDECIIHardware

1.1 Introduction

The DASDEC II is a 2U rack mounted unit built with the latest digital PC computer technology. It is an embedded PC

platform. The front of the DASDEC II, pictured below, provides a very simple face for a very sophisticated platform. The

DASDEC II exposes the PC motherboard connectors and single PCI slot in the rear of the unit.

Front panel of the DASDEC II

1.2 Front Panel

The front panel features a 2 x 20 character backlit LCD that indicates power-on and real-time device status. There are two

LEDs - one red, one green - to indicate specific types of status. A small grill provides space for audio from the internal

speaker. One push-button can initiate a simple weekly test.

1.2.1 LCD

The backlit green LCD shows real-time status of the DASDEC II. The LCD has numerous purposes indicating

system and/or encoding/decoding and active alert and button action status. Here is a list of information available

from the LCD.

When the DASDEC II is powered on, the LCD lights up, indicating power-on state.

When the DASDEC II begins to boot load system software, the LCD displays three phases of power up

disk check status, eventually moving on to display a busy booting indicator and the clock time. After all

system startup software is loaded, the LCD displays a startup message, eventually arriving at the ready

state where the first line displays DASDEC II: ON, followed by a crawling display showing the

programmed unit name, the software version number and the IP address. The second LCD line

continues to display the current clock time.

If the system software is manually stopped or temporarily restarted due to an internal problem, the LCD

will display a Server Stopped message until the software restarts into a ready state.

During decoding of an incoming alert, the LCD displays information about the source and the stage of the

decoding.

While decoded, forwarded or originated alerts are active on the DASDEC II, the top line repeats,

displaying pertinent identification for each active alert.

If the front panel button is pressed, the bottom row of the LCD will display information about the button

push action. When the button push is to start a Weekly test, the display instructs of the need to push the

button once more in order to confirm the issue of the Weekly Test. When the button push is to

acknowledge an unforwarded decoded active alert, the display briefly displays the acknowledgment.

When a backup configuration is loaded or when the server software is restarted, the LCD will indicate

when the server is down or running again.

During a software upgrade, the LCD display will progress through server down states and eventually will

display "Upgrading'. When the upgrade is finished, the LCD will progress back to the original ready

state.
