For example to save the announcements from the circuit pack at 01B18:
1. Type save announcements from 01B18 and press RETURN.
NOTE:
If you have announcement circuit packs with and without built-in
memory, save the circuit pack without built-in memory.
If you have a duplicated system with an active processor and a stand- by proc essor ,
you can save announcements from the announcement circuit pack to both
processors. Simply add system memory for both processors to the save
announcements command.
If the save announcements procedure fails on one of the processors, it continues
on the other processor, which results in inconsistent announcement data between
the two processors.
To verify that the save announcements command was successful:
1. Type display integrated announcement boards and press RETURN.
The Integrated Announcement Boards screen appears.
This screen shows the date, time, and location of the announcement circuit pack
most recently saved. If the save announcement command failed or the save
translations were not run before rebooting, “N/A” appears in these fields.
Copying announcements
You can copy recorded announcements between back-up disks and tapes when
you want to store your recorded announcements in more than one place.
Instructions
Let’s copy the announcements stored in our weekly disk back-up to the tape
back-up we take off company premises for a month. To copy announcements
between your back-up disk and tape:
1. Type copy announcements and press RETURN to save the changes.
This process can take up to 40 minutes. You cannot administer your system
while it is copying announcements.
