Add Multiple Announcement

Return to Task List

TN750C and TN2501AP circuit packs are required if the system has more than one announcement circuit pack. No more than 1 TN750 or TN750B can reside in the system. The TN750C or TN2501AP can install in any port or service (TDM) slot, and need not reside in a control carrier for extra power holdovers.


Note: Do not copy or restore announcements from a TN750C to a TN750 or TN750B circuit pack, as this process may corrupt the announcement data.

This section provides information on

TN750C Announcement Circuit Pack

The TN750C circuit pack contains on-board flash memory which provides internal backup of announcements on the circuit packs. Thus, the TN750C circuit pack does not need the save and restore processes. However, you can use the save and restore processes to copy announcements from the TN750 or TN750B to a TN750C circuit pack.

The TN750C circuit pack can replace a TN750 or TN750B circuit pack. The difference in operation is that the TN750C circuit pack automatically restores and reports the availability of announcements from its own internal flash memory in 5 minutes, rather than the approximately 40 minutes for the TN750 or TN750B circuit pack reporting from the mass-storage system.

If a circuit pack already has announcements in its flash memory, the yellow LED flashes as the announcements copy to the Voice RAM.

Important File Specifications

Voice Announcement over LAN (VAL) requires that announcement files are in the following .wav formats:

You must convert other wave ( .wav) file formats to those listed above. Telephone access creates the correct file formats.

Save and Restore Recorded Announcements


Caution! If the yellow LED is on, do not remove the circuit pack. This will corrupt the announcement data.

The syntax for saving from any TN750 circuit pack is save announcements [from PCSS] and press Enter. Where P is the port network number (1 for PPN, and 2-4 for EPN), C is the carrier designation (A, B, C, D, or E), and SS is the number of the slot in which the circuit pack resides (01 to 21).

The syntax for restoring to a TN750C circuit pack is restore announcements [disk | removable media [to PCSS]] and press Enter. Where P is the port network number (1 for PPN, and 2-4 for EPN), C is the carrier designation (A, B, C, D, or E), and SS is the number of the slot in which the circuit pack resides (01 to 21). When executing a restore command and there are existing announcements on the circuit pack, the following warning message appears:


Danger! This restore announcement command will overwrite the existing announcements on the specified board.

After 5 minutes (with no alterations to the announcements), the TN750C automatically copies the announcements from the Voice RAM to the internal flash memory. The yellow LED on the front of the TN750C flashes.

You can only save the announcement contents of 1 circuit pack to mass storage at a time. For the contents of every circuit pack, save to separate translation cards. Label each card to match the circuit pack saved to it.

TN750 and TN750B Announcement Circuit Packs


Note: The following save and restore procedures are only necessary for TN750 and TN750B announcement circuit packs.

The recorded announcements in the system can be saved on the mass-storage system by typing save announcements spe-active/spe-standby and pressing Enter. These commands should only be used after business hours or when the system is operating during a low-usage period. The system takes about 40 minutes to transfer the recorded announcements from the announcement circuit pack to the mass-storage system. During this time period, the management terminal cannot be used to administer the system until the transfer finishes; however, all other administration terminals, if provided, are allowed to perform administration procedures.

The recorded announcements in the system can be restored to system memory from the translation card by entering the restore announcements command.
