Sage Digital ENDEC Quick Start Rev 2.0
1. About this Document
This Digital ENDEC Quick Start Guide provides these basics:
• Install the ENDEC hardware
• Set up the ENDEC software options
• Set up Network Security
The manual is primarily for broadcasters; the concepts are the same for all users.
This document provides some background for new users of the ENDEC. We’ve placed most of this
background into separate sections. You should review this entire manual, especially if you aren’t familiar
with the Emergency Alert System.
The early portion of this document contains step by step instructions for the barebones connection of your
ENDEC to your station, and setting the common settings to meet the FCC’s requirements. You will most
likely want to add additional settings to trigger your ENDEC through automation systems or push buttons
at the operating position. You may also want to carry some of the voluntary alerts, such as tornado
warnings and Amber alerts.
For more step by step instructions, go to our web site and read the task sheets on the FAQ page:

2. Installing Your ENDEC
Here are the basic steps:
1) Learn about the audio connections – see Hardware Connectors and Indicators on page 11, and ENDEC
Audio on page 14
2) Learn about Network Security – see Network on page 16
3) Connect power on the back panel. Use the supplied 18-19V 3A power cube. DO NOT USE THE
POWER SUPPLY FROM THE ORIGINAL GRAY BOX ENDEC.
4) Connect your monitor audio sources to the ENDEC monitor inputs, not to exceed 2Vrms. Connect as
many audio sources as you have monitoring requirements to the monitor input terminals on the back
panel of the ENDEC (one source per input terminal). Addition information on adjusting the levels is
provided at https://www.sagealertingsystems.com/SB_001c.pdf
, Service Bulletin #1, Audio Levels.
5) Follow the steps to connect your ENDEC to the network – see Connecting your ENDEC to the LAN
on page 3
6) Change your passwords.
7) Download the settings file from your ENDEC. This file will include the network settings you made
from the front panel. See Configuring Your ENDEC on page 5.
