  Others may want to chime in to answer Chad's question, but here's my 2 cents worth.


  Depending on where you are in the country there may not be any CAP-enabled EAS product that the new CAP boxes will wake up to for some time. 


  As far as CAP message polling, I am not aware that there will be a polling "pull" component. If anyone has information to the contrary, please jump in.


  FEMA has said they will act as a message aggregator and stand up national CAP servers, so when there is product CAP-aware EAS devices, my understanding right now is that said devices do not need a public IP address. There are security considerations that are still being worked out, so that may play into the final CAP design for EAS. I have not heard of any discussion about that design involving the need for a public IP address, though.


  Again, if anyone has information correcting my impressions, it will be appreciated by both myself and Chad.


  Richard

    What is the status of EAS CAP. 
    I'm helping a broadcaster add a Sage ENDEC-HD to their network. 

    Is the CAP message pushed to the ENDEC (does the ENDEC need a public IP address)
    Or does the ENDEC poll for the CAP messages? (only requires internal IP address with Public Internet Access)
