2. Interface Specification
Interface specification for EWBS server describes below.

(1) GPI (General Purpose Interface)

- GPI signal is received from Emergency Agency. - Below two services shall be executed by EWBS Server simultaneously. Service Name
1 2 Emergency Broadcast Emergency Character Super (via Ethernet) Character information which is preset by Edit PC is sent to Multiplexer. Latin Character Code refers to Chapter 3.2.

Description
Start flag of TMCC (ON/OFF) is sent to Multiplexer.

(2) Ethernet
- Emergency Information is received from Emergency Agency via Ethernet. - Below three services shall be executed by EWBS Server simultaneously. Service Name
1 2 3 Emergency Broadcast Area Code Emergency Character Super (via Ethernet) Area Code is sent to Multiplexer. (via Ethernet) Character information which is preset by Edit PC is sent to Multiplexer. Latin Character Code refers to Chapter 3.2.

Description
Start flag of TMCC (ON/OFF) is sent to Multiplexer.

Edit PC has below functions. Name of Function

1 2 3 4 5 Monitor of EWBS operation Input of Character Set of PID Set of Interface Set of health check

Function
Status indication from Emergency Agency Preset of Character Super for GPI PID of HD, SD and 1seg. Service Priority set between GPI and Ethernet Set of the duration of health check

2.1 GPI Flow chart

(1) In case of emergency condition, EWBS Server receives GPI (One of four contacts) from Emergency Agency. (2) Character Information is preset by the Edit terminal. (up to four kind of character info.) (3) EWBS Server sends Start Flag to Multiplexer by Ethernet. EWBS Server sends Character Super to Multiplexer by TS signal.
