[G3sV2, G3iV2-386, G3vsV2] 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 system tape
[G3iV1.1-286] or memory card [G3sV2, G3iV2-386, G3vsV2],
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.
If the announcement file becomes corrupted, the only solution is to
re-record all announcements. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Remove the announcement board.
b. Remove the tape cartridge from the tape drive. Do this so that
announcements are not automatically restored from tape.
c. Re-insert the announcement board.
d. Re-record all announcements.
e. Insert the tape cartridge in the tape drive.
f. Issue the save announcements command to save all the
announcements on the tape.
This hardware fault is fixed in the TN750B announcement board. However,
the TN750B board will not automatically correct an announcement file
which has previously been corrupted by a TN750 board. The only way to
correct an announcement file corrupted by the TN750 board is to follow
the steps above.
Announcement Administration
A brief description of the integrated announcement administration is given here
to aid in troubleshooting 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 the following manuals:
