Recording VAL announcements
You can record an announcement for callers to hear when they dial a specific
extension or as part of call vectoring. You can use the same steps to change an
existing announcement.
You can record announcements in many ways:
■ Professional or computer recordings
■ Recording new announcements at a computer
■ Recording announcements at a system phone
Before you start
Ensure that the announcement administration is complete before proceeding. You
must have assigned a name before you can record an announcement (see ‘‘Adding
announcement extensions’’ on page 441).
If you are replacing a TN750C announcement circuit pack with the TN2501AP,
■ get a list and description of the announcements stored on the TN750C
circuit pack.
■ re-record the announcements on a computer or at a professional recording
studio as .wav files (CCITT
µ-Law or A-Law, 8KHz, 8-bit mono), so that
they are ready to transfer to the new announcement circuit pack after it is
installed and administered.
Replacing old announcement circuit packs with the new TN2501AP circuit pack
requires that you
■ remove previous announcement administration
■ record new announcements for the TN2501AP
■ re-record any announcements currently resident on the TN750 circuit packs
that you are replacing. You cannot transfer or restore TN750
announcements from flash card, tape, or optical disk to the TN2501AP.
