Recording with the PC:
Announcements can also be recorded with a PC through a connected microphone
(e. g. with the Windows Audio Recorder). The recordings have to be stored as wave
files in a particular format under a predefined name.
• Format: CCITT A-Law, 8 kHz, 8 bit, mono
• File names: court_xx.wav (lower case required)
"xx" can take on the values 10...29.
The wave files with the announcements must be uploaded onto the communica-
tion server’s file system:
1. From the AMS Shell select the communication server, enter the access data and
log in.
2. In the AMS shell under

, use the

3. Use

to upload the Wave files onto the file system.
The files are available to the application as soon as they are on the communication
server file system. We recommend that you use the corresponding function codes
to check the texts by listening to it (see
Notes:
– Wave files with incorrect format cannot be played.
– Wave files that are longer than the time available as defined in AMS
under CM_7.2_
File management
cannot be loaded and will generate a
corresponding error message.
Tips:
– Before the announcements are used for the first time, the wave files
are automatically renamed (from name.wav to name.used.wav). This
allows new recorded announcements texts to be uploaded onto the
file system while announcements are being made. Before an
announcement is restarted a check is carried out to see whether the
file system contains a new file with the original name (name.wav). If so,
the old file is deleted, and the new file is renamed and played back.
– To prevent existing files from being overwritten, they can first be
renamed in the communication server’s file system using AMS under
CM_7.2_
