Recorded Announcements
The Recorded Announcements feature allows you to create several different
recorded announcements for wakeup calls and Call Vectoring procedures. For
example, you may want to have different messages for different times of day. For
early morning wakeup calls, you can advertise breakfast at your coffee shop. For
afternoon wakeup calls, you can advertise dinner at your restaurant. These
announcements are recorded using the Announcement circuit pack and are
assigned manually to wakeup calls when the wakeup calls are scheduled using the
attendant console or a backup telephone.
