About Avaya G700 announcement software
Voice announcements are used in a call center environment to announce delays, direct 
customers to different departments, and entertain and inform calling parties. The announcement 
capability is standard and comes co-resident on the G700. The G700 announcement software 
has many of the functions of the TN2501AP VAL circuit pack.
