[SBE] remotely controling an Endec

[Andy Richardson]

What we are building out in Georgia for EAS at GPB: 

We are placing receiver units out in the field at each TX site around the state. Sending the Region alert audio from the receivers back to our Main facility in Atlanta over IP ( Barix -T1). Pulling the Region alert audio back out in Atlanta and feeding it to the Sage units here in our Tech Core with the program audio running as normal through them. That way the audio leaves our HQ with the EAS signal already in the chain.  Makes for easier monitoring of EAS logs and maintenance issues.  ( Sage units use LPS wall wart power supplies).  Also working on a solution to Log all 24 TV-FM EAS units into one database.

We are planning on putting a Sage Endec at our translator, since it is 
in a different EAS area than the main station, and was wondering if 
anyone has a similar situation to this. I would like to take the 
handheld pod and run it through a couple of Black Box serial to IP 
converters and run it through a VPN to the remote site, so that the hand 
pod is at the station controlling the endec at the translator site. I am 
having some issues getting the serial ports on the black  box to work 
with the endec and pod. Anyone have this kind of a setup working?  I 
know black box support is great, and would be a good place to start, but 
I don't know if Harris could provide the required info to get them talking.
