Copying Announcements

November 2003
If you have a duplicated system with an active processor and a stand-by processor, you can save
announcements from the announcement circuit pack to both processors. Simply add system memory for
both processors to the save announcements command.
If the save announcements procedure fails on one of the processors, it continues on the other processor,
which results in inconsistent announcement data between the two processors.
To verify that the save announcements command was successful:
1
Type display integrated announcement boards and press
ENTER
.
The Integrated Announcement Boards screen appears.
This screen shows the date, time, and location of the announcement circuit pack most recently saved. If
the save announcement command failed or the save translations were not run before rebooting, “N/A”
appears in these fields.

This task only applies if you are using a TN750-series announcement circuit pack.
