Even if you have the log in for ipaws, firmware doesn't support that.

In my state, Texas, they have no state CAP server. So I have no need to 
monitor CAP - my state plan calls for me to continue to monitor my usual 
off air sources.

The ipaws firmware was due out in APRIL. I would enjoy complying.

Since SAGE is an "Approved" vendor and passed "tests" in 2011, I feel by 
having the box monitoring my state plan, that is sufficient. If I cannot 
"monitor" ipaws, well, the FCC should not have certified this box until 
it was capable of that!

That is one point of view, mine, and is not to be construed as any sort 
of legal advice! OK?!
