[EAS] RWT from IPAWS missing this week

[Otto, Ken]

I've just one SAGE to monitor and I have never had problems with it since I upgraded to the latest firmware.

I did have problems before.  And my problems pretty much started around the time the IPAWS server went down last year.

I think this is why some people think their SAGE or other box is okay.   Because it did not start until the IPAWS server went down.

I know engineers can be stubborn to upgrade products but these are computer products and we live in the age of the Internet where a connection is up and down.  All of these products -- as with many other electronic products -- are tested in a lab.  But the real world is where things really fail.

FYI - I continually see post where some of you are missing the IPAWS RWT.
 I have several locations with multiple Sage units at several of these studios and have not missed any IPAWS RWT at any of the locations.
All are in the central Florida area. Hope this info may help you.
