Here are the steps to follow to get or put a copy of the announcement files on your Avaya gateway(s). Same can be done to VAL Boards as well. 1. First, login into your Avaya Site Administration (ASA) and determine the announcement board you would like to retrieve the announcements from. All announcements on gateways are on slot V9. So, an example would be that you have a location that is assigned to Media Gateway 1. The announcement board target will be 001v9. 2. In ASA, issue the following command: enable filexfer (in release 5.2, in prior releases use the command: enable filesystem) and press Enter. In the login and password fields type something you will remember. I typically use my name. Fill out the form like the below example. You will receive a “successfully completed” once you enter it. 3. Next, enter the command: list media-gateway and note the IP address of the gateway you want to retrieve these announcements from (in this example we are using media gateway 1). See ASA screen shot. 4. Enter the next command: list directory board 001v9 /annc. This command will give you the list of the announcement WAV files that you have on that announcement board. The file names will be required for FTP. You may choose to print this screen out, otherwise you can leave this screen up and available to you. See screen shot below. 5. Next create a folder named 001v9 on the root of your hard drive. Example C:\001v9. The C drive might not be your local PC so use your appropriate root location. 6. Open a DOS prompt and change directory to your folder you just created. See next screen shot. 7. You will now begin the FTP session and transfer of announcements. Enter FTP and the IP address of the gateway you are pulling these specific announcements from. It will respond with a User name and Password. Use the login and password that you created in the enable filexfer command with ASA. You must enter into binary prior to retrieving the WAV files/announcements that you want. If you do not, the WAV files will not be usuable once you have extracted them. Once you have completed this step you will be able to “get or put” the announcements where you want them to be. To retrieve a WAV/Announcement file you use the word get. See example below. As you can see in line item 226 "Transfer complete means that you have received the file. You can look in your folder now (001V9) and see the WAV file in your folder. If you need to put a file on this announcement board from this folder on your PC just use the word put instead of get with the WAV filename. Note : Please follow till binary and do put filename instead of get filename.
1. Login into your Avaya Site Administration (ASA) and determine the announcement board you would like to retrieve the announcements from. All announcements on gateways are on slot V9.

2. In ASA, issue the following command: enable filexfer (in release 5.2, in prior releases use the command: enable file system) and press Enter. In the login and password fields type something you will remember. Keep the secure filed set to 'n'. In board address enter the board number of the VAL board of which you want to copy announcements.
3. Enter the next command: list directory board 001v9 /annc. This command will give you the list of the announcement WAV files that you have on that announcement board. The file names will be required for FTP. You may choose to print this screen out, otherwise you can leave this screen up and available to you.
4. Enter the command: list ip-interface val and note the IP address of the VAL board from which you want to retrieve the announcements. login using the enable filexfer credentials.
5. From go shell prompt go to var/home/ftp/pub location or any desired location of CM and run command 'ftp xx.xx.xx.xx' where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of the val board. Type bin to enter binary.You must enter into binary prior to retrieving the WAV files/announcements that you want.
6. Now enter command 'get announcement file name.wav' . The file will get transferred to var/home/ftp/pub or the desired location of CM which was used.
7. To delete enter command 'remove announcement file name.wav. The file will be deleted from the 01V9 announcement board.
