FCC Second Report & Order - Testing Required Monthly Test (RMT) –Issued by Federal Alert Gateway over the C interface CMSP shall schedule distribution of the RMT to their CMAS coverage area over a 24 hour period commencing upon receipt of the RMT at the CMS Provider Gateway –CMSP shall determine the method to distribute the RMTs –may schedule over the 24 hour period the delivery of RMTs over geographic subsets of their coverage area to manage traffic loads and to accommodate maintenance windows May forego an RMT if: –the RMT is pre-empted by actual alert traffic –if an unforeseen condition in the CMS Provider infrastructure precludes distribution of the RMT Subscriber's mobile devices do not have to be able to receive the RMT –we may provide mobile devices with the capability of receiving RMT messages –in GSM/UMTS cell broadcast, we can control reception by use of the Message Identifier Must retain an automated log of RMT messages received by the CMSP Gateway from the Federal Alert Gateway In addition to the RMT, a CMSP must participate in periodic testing of the interface between the Federal Alert Gateway and its CMS Provider Gateway –This periodic interface testing is not intended to test the CMSP infrastructure nor the mobile devices but rather is required to ensure the availability/viability of both gateway functions 7th SDO Emergency Services Workshop (ESW7) May 2010 22
