TN750C Announcement circuit pack
The TN750C circuit pack contains on-board flash memory that provides internal backup of
announcements. Thus, the TN750C circuit pack does not require the save and restore processes. TN750C
announcements cannot be backed up and restored to an external device with an S8100 system.
The TN750C circuit pack can replace a TN750 or TN750B. The difference in operation is that the
TN750C automatically restores and reports the availability of announcements from its internal flash
memory in 5 minutes, rather than the 40 minutes for the TN750 or TN750B.
If a circuit pack already has announcements in its flash memory, the yellow LED flashes as the
announcements copy to the voice RAM.
Add TN750C circuit pack
Follow this procedure to add a circuit pack:
1 Insert the TN750C into a vacant slot in a carrier.
2 Administer new announcements to the TN750C’s slot by executing the change announcements
<location> command.
3 Record the announcements, as described in Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication
Manager (555-233-506).
4 Wait until the announcements copy from voice RAM to the on-board flash memory (the yellow
LED on the TN750C starts and then stops flashing). This takes about 10 minutes.
Move a single announcement to another
Announcement circuit pack
Follow this procedure to move a single announcement to another Announcement circuit pack:
1 Enter the change announcements command to change the circuit pack locations of a particular
announcement. (You may also change the compression rate at this time.)
2 Re-record the announcement, as described in Administrator’s Guide for Avaya Communication
Manager (555-233-506).
CWY1 announcements
With CWY1 announcements, customers can produce and use professional quality announcements and
store them on the S8100 hard drive. Voice processing of the announcements is handled on the CWY1
board. The CWY1 board is resident as a component of the TN2314 Processor circuit pack. Handling
announcements on the CWY1 board eliminates the need for the TN750 circuit pack, thus freeing the slot
occupied by the TN750 circuit pack. CWY1 announcements can be stored on the S8100 hard drive and
backed up and restored to a LAN drive.
To install CWY1 announcements, you use the S8100 user interface to upload the announcements file
from a server directory to the announcements directory. The file is moved to the appropriate
announcements directory and converted from WAV format to speech format.
CWY1 announcements can also be recorded in the same manner as the TN750C. The virtual port location
is 1A13 for CWY!.
