ANN-BD (Announcement Circuit Pack)
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 Feature Access Code (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
press (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 [G3iV1.1-286] or memory card [G3sV2, G3iV2-386,
G3vsV2] with the administration terminal save announcements command.
Likewise, integrated announcements can be downloaded to the Announcement
circuit pack with the 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) or a memory card (must not be write-protected). These
commands are useful in maintaining the customer's recorded announcements.
Depending on system traffic, announcement uploads and/or downloads take
between 30 and 45 minutes.
The system automatically tries to download the Announcement circuit pack five
minutes after it is inserted. This automatic download procedure is aborted if:
1. An announcement is recorded within 10 minutes of circuit pack insertion.
2. An announcement download is invoked sooner with the administration
terminal restore announcements command.
3. No announcement and/or NETCON data module is administered.
4. Either the announcement data module is busy or all the administered
NETCON data modules are busy.
5. No tape [G3iV1.1-286] or memory card [G3sV2, G3iV2-386, G3vsV2] is in
the system.
6. The tape or memory card in the system does not have a valid
announcement file saved on it.
NOTE:
Unlike translations, there is no provision in the Generic 3 system for
automatically saving announcements to the system tape or memory card.
