Moving announcements from the VAL circuit
pack
When you move a file from the VAL circuit pack, you are either
•
backing up (archiving) an announcement file.
•
copying an announcement to another VAL circuit pack (restoring).
Moving a file in an FTP session means copying the file from the VAL circuit pack to the FTP client’s
default directory. If you want to move the file to another circuit pack or LAN device, see
Moving
announcements to a VAL circuit pack or to another LAN device
.
Before you start
•
Ensure that the steps in
Setting up an FTP session
are complete.
•
Ensure that you have adequate storage space for backup on the remote host computer. Depending
on the number of announcements and file type, 60 minutes of recording may require up to 32
megabytes of storage space for backup on the remote host computer.
•
Know the IP address and location of the TN2501AP circuit pack as well as the filename (
list
directory board
) for the announcement that you want to move.
NOTE:
The announcement directory on the TN2501AP circuit pack is /annc.
Instructions
To backup or save an announcement from the VAL board to the client computer through an FTP session:
1
Ensure that the steps in
Setting up an FTP session
are complete.
2
At the FTP client, type get filename.wav and press
ENTER
.
Example: get Closed.wav
The announcement file is written to the directory from which you initiated the FTP session.
NOTE:
FTP upload or download of announcement files does not preserve the created timestamp.
The file receives the current date and time when it is written to the circuit pack or on the
computer.

List the FTP client directory contents and ensure that the announcement file is among those listed.
4
Terminate the FTP session (see
Ending an FTP session
).
