ANN-BD (Announcement Circuit Pack)
Whenever new announcements are recorded on the circuit pack, save
them on disk as soon as possible to ensure that they will not be lost due to
a disruption. Periodic saves to removable media provide further backup if
the disk files are lost or corrupted. This is also accomplished when the
entire disk is backed up.
The save announcements command replaces the announcement files on
disk or removable media with those in Announcement circuit pack speech
memory. Take care not to inadvertently destroy a valid file on removable
media or disk with this command.
The restore announcements command replaces announcement circuit
pack speech memory with announcement files on the disk or removable
media. Take care not to inadvertently destroy valid announcements on the
circuit pack by restoring from a device that does not contain a current
announcement file.
Whenever the announcement circuit pack is replaced, you must re-record
announcements or restore them from disk or removable media. Otherwise,
the circuit pack will be unavailable to call processing service.
If the circuit pack's speech memory is corrupted, announcements should
not be saved (for example, when the Announcement Checksum test (#209)
fails or announcements sound corrupted when played back). This can ruin
a good announcement file on disk or removable media, and potentially
cause errors and alarms on any circuit pack to which the saved file is
downloaded. If, however, the customer does not have a valid
announcement file on removable media or disk, You may wish to save
announcements in an effort to try to retain those that are not corrupted.
Announcement Session
The recording, playing back, and deleting of announcements is called an
announcement session. The station used must have a COS (class of service)
that includes console permissions.
1. To enter an announcement session, go off-hook on the station and enter
the announcement FAC (Feature Access Code) administered on the
Feature Access Codes form.
2. You should now hear dial tone. Enter the extension of the announcement
to be recorded, deleted, or played back.
3. You should again hear dial tone. To record an announcement, press 1,
record after the tone, and hang up when finished.
4. To play back an announcement, press 2. Announcements can also be
played back by simply calling the announcement extension associated with
them.
5. To delete an announcement, press 3, and confirmation tone will be given if
the delete was successful.

Unlike translations, announcements are never saved automatically
by the system. so you must do it manually.
