Announcement Session
Announcements can be rec orded, played b ack, and deleted from an
announcement session. A station’s COS needs to inc lude console permi ssions in
order for that station to be ab le to enter an announcement session. To enter an
announcement session, go off-hook on a sta tion that has console permissions
and enter the approp riate FAC (administered as Announcement acc ess code on
the FACs form). Dial tone should be returned at this p oint. Enter the extension of
the announcement that needs to b e recorded, deleted or played back. Ag ain,
dial tone should be heard . To record an announcement, press station keypad
digit 1, record after the tone, and hang up when don e. To play back an
announcement, press station keyp ad digit 2. To delete an announcement, p ress
station keypad dig it 3 (confirmation tone is given if the d elete worked).
Announcements can also b e played back b y simply calling the anno uncement
extension associated with them.
Uploading/Downloading Announcements
Integrated announcements on the TN750 Announcement circuit pac k can be
uploaded to the memory card with the save announcements command.
Similarly, integrated announcements can b e downloaded to the Announc ement
circuit pack with the restore announcements command. Both of these
commands require a free data module of NETCON type to be administered, a
data module of announcemen t type (on the Announcement circ uit pack) to be
administered, and a memory card. These commands are useful in maintainin g
the customer’s recorded announcements. Depending on system traffic,
announcement uploads/ downloads take between 30 and 45 minutes.
The system automatically tries to download the Announcement circuit p ack five
minutes after it is inserted. This automatic d ownload procedure is ab orted if:
1. An announcement is recorded within 10 minutes of circuit pac k insertion.
2. An announcement download i s invoked sooner with the administration
terminal restore announcements command.
3. There is no announcement and/or NETCON data module ad ministered.
4. Either the announcement data module is b usy or all the administered
NETCON data modules are busy.
5. There is no memory card in the system.
6. The memory card in the system does not have a v alid announcement file
saved on it.
NOTE:
Unlike translations, there is no provision in the system for automa tically
saving announcements to the memory card .
