What does the EAS Network Receiver do?
TheEASNetworkReceiverincludestworadiotunersthatworkin theAM,FM,orNational
WeatherServiceradiobands. Each tuner can be disabled, allowing a basebandaudioinput
insteadofaradioinput.Eachoftheinputsiscontinuouslymonitoredfor EAS Frequency Shift
Keying(FSK)tones.Whenthesetonesaredetected,aninternalaudiorecorderisstartedand
one-or-moreEAS Encoder/Decoders are contacted viaEthernet.Each EAS Encoder/Decoder
canthenretrievetheEASinformation (including the audio recording)fromtheNetwork
Receiver(s)viathenetwork.
Note: The EAS Network Receiver chassis is capable of housing two
NetworkReceivers.Thisallowsfourradioorbasebandaudioinputsina
singlechassis.EachNetworkReceiver in a two unit chassis is
connectedandconfiguredseparately.
What is the EAS Network Receiver?
TheEASNetworkReceiverisanEthernetcapabletwoor four channel radio tuner that can be
locatedanywhereEmergencyAlert System (EAS) radiosignalsareavailable.The purpose of the
instrumentistorelayoff-airEAS information toTrilithic EAS Encoder/Decoders over a standard
Ethernetnetwork.Theinstrument is usedtosimplifyandenhance the implementationoflarge
scaleaudio/videosystemsinwhichEAS radio monitoring assignments are difficult to receive or
aretoonumerousforanEASEncoder/Decodertohandlealone.

Application of the EAS Network Receiver
WhentheEASNetworkReceiverisusedinconjunctionwithoneormoreEASEncoder/
Decoders,theinstrument will:
•Provide reception of radio stations that are too distant for direct reception by the EAS
Encoder/Decoder.
•Provideameansto hold EAS messages in a queue, thus preventing the lossofmessages
duetosimultaneousreceptionfromradiostations.
•Provideameanstoexpandthe maximum amount of monitoring assignmentsthatasingle
EASEncoder/Decodercanhandle.
•AllowmultipleEASEncoder/Decodersto use the same EAS Network Receiver.
•AllowmultipleEASNetworkReceiverstocontactthesameEASEncoder/Decoder.
•MonitorthesamestationsastheEASEncoder/Decoderrearpanelinputsforredundancy
infringereceptionareas.
WhentheEASNetworkReceiverisused without an EAS Encoder/Decoder, the EAS Network
Receiver’s internal logs can be:
• UsedtoverifytheoperationofEASsources.
• Connected as a subscriber on a Cable or IPTV system, or as a listener to a broadcast
stationforproof-of-performancevalidation.
