[EAS] CAP Test

[Ed Czarnecki]

Hi David - have you monitored RMT tests previously on the IPAWS CAP feed?

You might want to do a quick check on your DASDEC CAP alert FIPS filters.
Double check that the FIPS filters for CAP messages is set for VA.  Then,
you could also filter out those out-of-region test messages (unless you
really want RWTs for Guam, of course).

Let me know if that works...

Wayne,
I got several alerts but not any for Virginia.

My DASDEC box reports the following:

Sun Dec 11 20:05:00 2011 EST - RWT from IPAWS OPEN CAP EAS Feed
Configuration Test Message
- Guam (066000) Northern Mariana Islands (069000)
ZCZC-CIV-RWT-066000-069000+0100-3460105-IPAWSCAP-

Mon Dec 12 10:05:00 2011 EST - RWT from IPAWS OPEN CAP EAS Feed
Configuration Test Message
- Puerto Rico (072000) Virgin Islands Of The United States (078000)

ZCZC-CIV-RWT-072000-078000+0100-3461505-IPAWSCAP-

Mon Dec 12 14:05:00 2011 EST - RWT from IPAWS OPEN CAP EAS Feed
Configuration Test Message
- California (006000) Nevada (032000) Washington (053000)
ZCZC-CIV-RWT-006000-032000-014000-053000+0100-3461905-IPAWSCAP-

My box did not pick up any IPAWS/CAP tests for the Eastern, Central or
Mountain timezones.
Several things may have happened IMHO - FEMA's servers were overtaxed, my
EAS box wouldn't poll/connect due to network issues on my end and/or was
configured incorrectly, FEMA didn't issue a test message for my timezone at
11AM EST.
