ANN-PT (Announcement Port)
Issue 4 May 2002 10-155 555-233-123
2. If a customer has announcements on the Announcement circuit pack
that cannot be re-recorded easily, then announcements must be
saved on the system tape to ensure that they are not lost. This should
be done as soon as the announcements are recorded on the circuit pack
(or whenever they are changed), assuming that the pack is in proper
working order (see Note).

NOTE:
Unlike translations, announcements are NEVER automatically saved
to the system tape.
3. The administration terminal save announcements command replaces the
announcement file on tape with the Announcement circuit pack speech
memory. Care must be taken not to mistakenly enter this command,
thereby destroying a valid file on tape.
4. The terminal restore announcements command replaces the
Announcement circuit pack speech memory with the announcement file on
the system tape. Care must be taken not to mistakenly enter this
command, thereby destroying valid speech memory (especially if the
system tape does not have a valid announcement file on it).
5. Whenever the Announcement circuit pack is replaced, announcements
must always be re-recorded or downloaded to the new circuit pack.
Otherwise, call processing is not able to use the circuit pack.
6. If announcement speech memory is corrupted, announcements should
not be saved, that is, if the Announcement Checksum Test (#209) fails or if
the speech sounds corrupted on playback. This can ruin a good
announcement file on tape and potentially cause errors/alarms on any
circuit pack to which the new file is downloaded. However, if the customer
does not have a valid announcement file on tape, then announcements can
be saved in an effort to try to retain some of them (all of the
announcements recorded may not be corrupted).
7. Although Announcement Port 5 and Data Line Circuit Port 17 on the
Announcement circuit pack are logically two separate ports, they are
physically the same port. Therefore, if one of the ports is in use, the other
one will be busy. Also, if Announcement Port 5 is out-of-service, the Data
Line Circuit Port is taken out-of-service. However, if the Data Line Circuit
Port is out-of-service, the Announcement Port remains in-service.
