Copying announcements 

For example to save the announcements from the circuit pack at 01B18:

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

If you have announcement circuit packs with and without built-in 
memory, save the circuit pack without built-in memory. 

If you have a duplicated system with an active processor and a stand-by processor, 
you can save announcements from the announcement circuit pack to both 
processors. Simply add system memory for both processors to the save 
announcements command.

If the save announcements procedure fails on one of the processors, it continues 
on the other processor, which results in inconsistent announcement data between 
the two processors. 

To verify that the save announcements command was successful:

1. Type 

 and press 

RETURN

.

The Integrated Announcement Boards screen appears.

This screen shows the date, time, and location of the announcement circuit pack 
most recently saved. If the save announcement command failed or the save 
translations were not run before rebooting, “N/A” appears in these fields. 

You can copy recorded announcements between back-up disks and tapes when 
you want to store your recorded announcements in more than one place.

Let’s copy the announcements stored in our weekly disk back-up to the tape 
back-up we take off company premises for a month. To copy announcements 
between your back-up disk and tape: 

1. Type

 and press 

RETURN

 to save the changes. 

This process can take up to 40 minutes. You cannot administer your system 
while it is copying announcements.
