Setting up continuous-play announcements 

You may also want to remove the announcement extension from the system. To 
remove the extension, use your system administration terminal to complete the 
following steps:

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

The 

Announcements/Audio Sources

 screen appears.

2. Delete the information in the Ext and Type fields.

3. Press 

ENTER

 to save your work.

Finally, to erase announcements on the announcement circuit pack located at

A warning message appears.

2. Press 

ENTER

 to erase the announcements on the circuit pack.

You can set up announcements to keep on repeating while callers are connected to 
the announcement, so a caller listens until the system plays the entire 
announcement.With a “barge-in” queue, you do not need a separate port for each 
announcement.

For example, you can set up an Automatic Wakeup announcement to repeat and 
use a barge-in queue. When guests pick up the phone to hear an announcement at 
a particular time, they use only one port and the message repeats on that port until 
the last guest goes off-hook and the message ends.

You must use an integrated, multiple-integrated, or external announcement for 
barge-in announcements.

Let’s set up a continuous-play announcement for our integrated announcement on 
extension 1234:

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

The Announcements/Audio Sources screen appears.
