Notes:
a. The Announcement circuit pack can exhibit a condition that does not allow
recording.
If the circuit pack gets locked into this state (this is an extremely rare
condition), two of the Announcement Ports on the circuit pack will be
unusable by software, one of which is the record port. Also, save/restore
announcements will not work since the record port looks busy to the
circuit pack. Note that software does not have any way of knowing this,
and attempts to use the ports.
If the circuit pack is locked into this state, the following symptoms are
observed:
1. When attempting to record an announcement, users hear the
proper record tone, but the announcement does not record (they
do not know it until the announcement is played back).
2. Performing a test board long when the circuit pack is in this state
yields the following abort codes:
■ Ports 1 AND 9 abort Test #206 with code 1024
■ Ports 1 AND 9 abort Test #205 with code 2000
■ Board level Tests #209 and #210 abort with code 1024
1-3 FAIL Test failed. The error code indicates at which speech compression rate the
test actually failed (one being the first rate tested, three being the last).
1. Reset the circuit pack via the reset board PCSS command and then
run this test again. If the test still fails, replace the circuit pack (see
Warning) and run this test again.
2. If there are recurring alarms on this circuit pack caused by this test
failing, replace the circuit pack even if Step 1 works (see Warning).
!
WARNING:
Replacing the circuit pack results in loss of integrated
announcements. See "General Notes" near the beginning of this
Maintenance procedure.
PASS The record channel on the Announcement circuit pack is functioning
properly. User-reported troubles on this circuit pack should be investigated
using other circuit pack and port tests. Refer to "ANN-PT (Announcement
Port)" Maintenance documentation for a description of the port tests.
