3-93ANN-BD (Announcement Circuit Pack)
3
1. The TN750 Announcement circuit pack retains all integrated
announcements
as long as the circuit pack has power
. For this reason,
whenever there is a problem with either the Announcement circuit pack or
an Announcement Port that may require the circuit pack to be reset, it is
always best to try to reset the circuit pack via the
reset board PCSS
command first. If that does not work, replace the circuit pack.
Announcements are preserved through a software reset, but they are
lost when the circuit pack is reseated.
2.
If a customer has announcements on the Announcement circuit pack,
then announcements must be saved on the memory card to ensure
that they are not lost.
This should be done as soon as the
announcements are recorded on the circuit pack (or whenever they are
changed), assuming that the circuit pack is in proper working order (see
Note).
NOTE:
Unlike translations, announcements are NEVER automatically saved
to the memory card.
3. The
save announcements
command replaces the announcement file on
the memory card. Care must be taken not to mistakenly enter this
command and, as a result, destroy a valid file on the memory card.
4. The
restore announcements
command replaces the Announcement
circuit pack speech memory with the announcement file on the memory
card. Care must be taken not to mistakenly enter this command,
destroying valid speech memory, especially if the memory card does not
have a valid announcement file on it.
5. Whenever the Announcement circuit pack is replaced, announcements
must always be rerecorded or downloaded to the new circuit pack.
Otherwise, call processing is not able to use the pack.
6. If announcement speech memory is corrupted, announcements should
not be saved [that is, if the Announcement Checksum Test (#209) fails, or
if the speech sounds corrupted on playback]. This can ruin a good
announcement file on the memory card and potentially cause
errors/alarms on any circuit pack to which the new file is downloaded.
However, if the customer does not have a valid announcement file on the
memory card, announcements can be saved in an effort to try to retain
some of them (all of the announcements recorded may not be corrupted).
7. Due to a hardware fault in the TN750 announcement board, the following
sequence of events my cause the announcement file to become corrupted
and unusable:
■ Fill the board with recorded announcements.
■ Delete the last few announcements recorded.
■ Re-record the announcements deleted.
