[EAS] CAP EAS

[Harold Price]

Richard,

There are two different issues:

1) Device can't poll FEMA - says CAP is down, and only a reboot will 
bring it back. After version 89-2 is installed, we've only had one 
report of a device requiring a reboot to come back (yours).  All 
other loss of polling has been version 89 (not 89-2), or issues with 
static IP address duplication, small DSL routers that give out less 
DCHP addresses than there are devices connected to it, changes to DNS 
address, changes to firewalls, loose cables, etc.  I suspect yours is 
one of these cases, but because it is remote to you, we just haven't 
found out which of these things it is yet.

2) Device can poll FEMA, and never (or very seldom) missing enough 
polls for the ENDEC to blink the error light and send an email.  But, 
it misses the RWT at a time when polls seem to be occurring 
normally.  We have had a few reports of this happening, the reports 
starting in late December, though some of the missed RWTs starting in 
Mid December.

I don't think you are in the 2) group.  I think everyone in this 
group is also running version 89, not 89-2, but we've checking the 
records on that now.
