Recording The DVA Messages
Description:
You or the system attendant must record the messages that the DVA plays to the callers. You do
this in one of two ways: either by delivering them from the telephone handset at the attendant
station or by playing the contents of a professionally-supplied tape recording into the DVA
memory. Each DVA stores up to four unique messages. The total message storage time is
two
minutes and you can divide this time as necessary among the four messages or use the entire
two minutes for one message if needed. Because of the time constraints, it is a good practice to
script your messages ahead of time so that you can read them aloud in a clear and concise
manner as you store them in the DVA memory.
piiifq
It
is important to keep in mind that the system shares the messages among
all
installed
DVAs.
You do not control which DVA stores which message. For example, if
you make eight different recordings with two
DVAs,
the system distributes the
messages in both units. If someone later removes one unit from service, the on/y
messages that will play are those stored in the remaining DVA. To locate which DVA
stores which message, use
Section
16.2.2 to obtain a DVA status report.
