§ 10.350 CMAS Testing requirements.
This section specifies the testing that will be required, no later than
the date of deployment of the CMAS, of CMAS components.
(a) Required monthly tests. Testing of the CMAS from the Federal Alert
Gateway to each Participating CMS Provider's infrastructure shall be
conducted monthly.
(1) A Participating CMS Provider's Gateway shall support the ability to
receive a required monthly test (RMT) message initiated by the Federal
Alert Gateway Administrator.
(2) Participating CMS Providers shall schedule the 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. Participating CMS
Providers shall determine the method to distribute the RMTs, and 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.
(3) A Participating CMS Provider may forego an RMT if the RMT is
pre-empted by actual alert traffic or if an unforeseen condition in the
CMS Provider infrastructure precludes distribution of the RMT. A
Participating CMS Provider Gateway shall indicate such an unforeseen
condition by a response code to the Federal Alert Gateway.
(4) The RMT shall be initiated only by the Federal Alert Gateway
Administrator using a defined test message. Real event codes or alert
messages shall not be used for the CMAS RMT message.
(5) A Participating CMS Provider shall distribute an RMT within its
CMAS coverage area within 24 hours of receipt by the CMS Provider
Gateway unless pre-empted by actual alert traffic or unable due to an
unforeseen condition.
(6) A Participating CMS Provider may provide mobile devices with the
capability of receiving RMT messages.
(7) A Participating CMS Provider must retain an automated log of RMT
messages received by the CMS Provider Gateway from the Federal Alert
Gateway.
(b) Periodic C interface testing. In addition to the required monthly
tests, a Participating CMS Provider 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 CMS Provider's infrastructure nor the mobile devices but
rather is required to ensure the availability/viability of both gateway
functions. Each CMS Provider Gateway shall send an acknowledgement to
the Federal Alert Gateway upon receipt of such an interface test
message. Real event codes or alert messages shall not be used for this
periodic interface testing.
