Information source
Each G700 Media Gateway that will be used to
provide announcements through the embedded
VAL circuitry on the Gateway processor circuit
pack must be assigned on the Media-Gateway
screen and enabled using the enable
announcements command before
announcements can be recorded using the
telephone or played from that gateway.
Note: For more information about the
Media-Gateway screen, and for a description of
commands, see Maintenance Commands for
Avaya Communication Manager, Media Gateways
and Servers, 03-300191.
Announcements can be administered to a
gateway and files can be FTPed to that gateway
even though it is not enabled. However, the G700
Media Gateway first must be assigned on the
Media-Gateway screen so as to be used for
gateway announcements.
Each G700 Media Gateway when enabled is
counted as a VAL circuit pack towards the system
limit of either 1 VAL circuit pack (if the VAL
Maximum Capacity field is n) or 10 circuit packs
(for the S8700 series, or S8300 Media Servers) if
the VAL Maximum Capacity field is y.
First the G700 Media Gateway must have the V9
field assigned to gateway-announcements on
the Media-Gateway screen before the G700
embedded VAL (v VAL) can be enabled.
Then the G700 Media Gateway embedded VAL is
enabled using the enable
announcement-board gggV9 command
(where ggg is the gateway number assigned on
the Media-Gateway screen).
The G700 Media Gateway embedded VAL also
can be disabled using the disable
announcement-board ggV9 command. This
removes that gateway from the VAL circuit pack
count but announcements already assigned and
recorded/FTPed on that circuit pack remain but
will not play.
