Communication Manager Maintenance-Object Repair Procedures
466 Maintenance Procedures for Avaya Communication Manager 3.0, Media Gateways and Servers
 
3. Save announcements replaces the announcement file on the card 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. Restore announcements replaces the Announcement circuit pack speech memory with 
the announcement file on the card. Care must be taken not to mistakenly enter this 
command, thereby destroying valid speech memory (especially if the card 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 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, 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.
Announcement administration
A brief description of the integrated announcement administration is given here to aid in the 
troubleshooting of the Announcement circuit pack and its ports. In many cases, it is necessary 
to record, play back, and/or delete announcements to resolve an alarm. It may also be 
necessary to save and restore announcements as part of the maintenance procedures. For a 
complete description of integrated announcement administration, please refer to Administrator
