2.
If a customer has announcements on the Announcement circuit pack,
then announcements must be saved on the system tape 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 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 card with the Announcement circuit pack speech memory. Care must
be taken not to mistakenly enter this command, thereby destroying a valid
file on tape.
4. The
restore announcements
command replaces the Announcement
circuit pack speech memory with the announcement file on the card. Care
must be taken not to mistakenly enter this command, thereby destroying
valid speech memory (especially if the card does not have a valid
announcement file on it).
5. Whenever the Announcement circuit pack is replaced, announcements
must always be re-recorded or downloaded to the new circuit pack.
Otherwise, call processing is not able to use the circuit 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 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, then announcements can be saved in an
effort to try to retain some of them (all of the announcements recorded may
not be corrupted).
7. Although Announcement Port 5 and Data Line Circuit Port 17 on the
Announcement circuit pack are logically two separate ports, they are
physically the same port. Therefore, if one of the ports is in use, the other
one will be busy. Also, if Announcement Port 5 is out-of-service, the Data
Line Circuit Port is taken out-of-service. However, if the Data Line Circuit
Port is out-of-service, the Announcement Port remains in-service.
Announcement Administration
A brief description of the integrated announcement administration is given here
to aid in the troubleshooting of the Announcement circuit pack and its ports. In
many cases, it is necessary to record, play back, and/or delete announcements
to resolve an alarm. It may also be necessary to save and restore
announcements as part of the maintenance procedures. For a complete
description of integrated announcement administration, please refer to
