Announcement file format requirements
In order to be compatible with the TN2501AP circuit pack and Avaya Communication Manager,
announcement recordings must have the following parameters:
CCITT A-Law or CCITT µ-Law companding format (do not use PCM)
●
8KHz sample rate
●
8-bit resolution (bits per sample)
●
Mono (channels = 1)
●
The µ-Law (Mu-Law) companding is used in the United States and A-Law is used
●
internationally. Use the companding format specified on the
File names for the TN2501 (VAL) boards cannot contain blank spaces nor any of the
●
following characters: '.', ',', '/',':', '*','?', '<', '>', '\'. The file name itself is case sensitive, but
the .wav file extension must be lower case.
Announcements that are recorded in this format occupy 8K bytes per second of file space for
every second of recorded speech. For example, a 10-second announcement creates an 80K
bytes .wav file.
Professional or computer recordings
In order to be compatible with the TN2501AP circuit pack and Avaya Communication Manager,
