[EAS] Good thing the test was shortened

[Ira Wilner]

No Randy,

An EAN automatically bypasses the timeout feature of EAS boxes locking you 
on to the incoming feed until release by an EOM header.  By shortening the 
test it'll not be confirmed live that all boxes out in the field will 
respond properly.
