Chapter 1General InformationIntroductionThe VIAVI EASyCAP (Model EASyCAP-1) EAS (Emergency Alert System) Encoder/Decoderis a 2U rack mounted control center capable of performing manual or automated EASmessaging for Cable, Broadcast, IPTV, and Wire line systems and is in accordance with CFR47 part 11 FCC regulations.The EASyCAP Encoder/Decoder receives EAS messages from up to six audio sources(internal or external), decodes the FSK (Frequency-shift Keying) EAS message, and operatesthe target system equipment to replay the message for viewers/listeners. In addition,messages can be originated by the user via local or remote control of the EASyCAP . TheEAS Audio sources for the EASyCAP include internal AM/FM/NOAA radios and external audioinputs that can be connected to any known EAS audio source.EAS Audio is decoded by the internal AFSK circuitry, then sorted and interpreted to determinethe type of emergency or test, locations for which the emergency applies, and otherinformation supplied in the EAS Header. If a voice message is contained in the EAS message,it is recorded for possible playback to subscribers. EAS messages then pass through a seriesof tests to determine if the message matches predefined, user configurable parameters. Ifthese tests pass, EAS activation (message playback) to the system occurs. To play an EASmessage to viewers/listeners, the EASyCAP activates TTLs, Contact Closures, RS-485 datacommands, RS-232 data commands, and several IP based protocols, it also supplies pertinentvideo and re-encodes/plays the EAS FSK and recorded audio. The TTLs, Contact Closures,and serial data commands, and IP protocols activate routing equipment and end-user devicesto provide the emergency audio and video to all viewers/listeners.In addition to the EAS messaging capabilities, the EASyCAP records all received andtransmitted messages in the internal log for later retrieval.Page 8EASyCAP Encoder/Decoder User’s GuideDocument 0010340001., Rev. 19.10October 2019

Security RecommendationsWhere possible, EAS Participants should adhere to the security best practicesrecommendation for EAS participants contained in the Communications Security, Reliabilityand Interoperability Council (CSRIC) EAS Security Subcommittee report.EASyCAP Software/Firmware upgrades are available from [email protected] recommends checking for upgrades at least every six (6) months. If you become awareof security vulnerabilities for the Debian Linux operating system you should check for VIAVIEASyCAP upgrades.EASyCAP upgrades are performed using the Web GUI by accessing the Administration/Upgrade screen, which provides a means to upload and install the upgrade file. If the upgradefile has a .zip file extension it will also contain a readme text document providing importantinformation or special instructions for the upgrade.While EASyCAP Encoder/Decoders utilize an internal firewall, VIAVI strongly recommendsthe use of an external router and firewall for connections facing the internet. Alternatively anhttp proxy may be used. A three-tier architecture is recommended. If able to manage the EASyCAP from an internal private network (LAN), the internetfacing firewall should completely block incoming connections while allowing outboundconnections on port 443. If management over the internet is required, use of Network Address Translation to port443 for the Web GUI is highly recommended. The internet exposed port should be anon-standard port (not a well-known port) between 11000 and 65000, and should avoidending in common port numbers such as 21, 22, 80, and 443.- Some web browsers or other security features will not allow https connections over aport other than 443. In such a configuration there is no choice but to use port 443 forincoming connections.- If possible, restrict incoming IP addresses to known address ranges for yourorganization. If there is no choice but to place the EASyCAP directly on the Internet- The non-secure web server interface should be disabled. Turn on the option to usesecure https access in the Configuration/Web Configuration settings.- Disable the “Allow SSH” checkbox in the network settings for the internet-facinginterface.- If the web interface is not required for the internet-facing connection, disable the“Allow Web Server” checkbox in the network settings for the internet-facing interface. Where possible, the Internet facing Ethernet port should be avoided for management andsystem activation protocols.Page 12EASyCAP Encoder/Decoder User’s GuideDocument 0010340001., Rev. 19.10October 2019
Spanish Language SupportEASyCAP supports English and Spanish languages. Audio and video interfaces, messageorigination, and delivery recipients can be configured to use English and/or Spanish. Thelanguages presented during message playback will be dependent on the availability oflanguages in the received message as well as user configuration.1. Audio inputs used to receive EAS messages will always be considered English audiosources.2. If a CAP message does not include a Spanish info block, the alert text will consist of therequired FCC translation text in Spanish followed by the CAP text in English.3. If Spanish audio is not present in the received message: If text-to-speech (TTS) is enabled then Spanish TTS audio will be used. If TTS is disabled then English audio will be used.4. If English audio is not present in the received message: If TTS is enabled then English TTS audio will be used. If TTS is disabled then no voice message will be played.5. Alert text must be limited to 1800 characters. If a video output or delivery recipientis configured to use English followed by Spanish text, and the text exceeds 1800characters, Spanish text will not be included.October 2019EASyCAP Encoder/Decoder User’s GuideDocument 0010340001, Rev. 19.10Page 13
