EASyCAST - Installation Manual
36
Manual and Automatic modes provide control over the re-sending of EAS events when the
station is manned or unmanned. The EASyCAST can be changed from manned (manual) to
unmanned (automatic) mode through the front panel menu system or the configuration software.
Automatic mode: Each EAS event can be configured to be disabled (off - do not send event) or
to send immediately after receipt (send event immediately).
Manual Mode: Each EAS event can be configured to wait indefinitely for permission to send
(never auto-send), to send immediately after receipt (send immediately), or to wait a specified
number of minutes before sending (send in xx minutes). When an EAS event is waiting, an
operator can manually override the delay by either sending the message, or cancelling it. The
configurable time delays are 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes.
