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 the
following manuals:

Announcement Session
Announcements can be recorded, played back, and deleted from an
announcement session. A station’s COS needs to include console permissions in
order for that station to be able to enter an announcement session. To enter an
announcement session, go off-hook on a station that has console permissions
and enter the appropriate FAC (administered as Announcement access code on
the FACs form). Dial tone should be returned at this point. Enter the extension of
the announcement that needs to be recorded, deleted or played back. Again,
dial tone should be heard. To record an announcement, press station keypad
digit 1, record after the tone, and hang up when done. To play back an
announcement, press station keypad digit 2. To delete an announcement, press
station keypad digit 3 (confirmation tone is given if the delete worked).
Announcements can also be played back by simply calling the announcement
extension associated with them.
Uploading/Downloading Announcements
Integrated announcements on the TN750 Announcement circuit pack can be
uploaded to the system tape with the administration terminal save
announcements commands. Similarly, integrated announcements can be
downloaded to the Announcement circuit pack with the administration terminal
restore announcements command. Both of these commands require a free
data module of NETCON type to be administered, a data module of
announcement type (on the Announcement circuit pack) to be administered, and
a tape cartridge to be in the system’s tape drive (must not be write-protected).
