    Interactions
    The following features interact with the Recent Change History feature.
    nCall Processin g
    There are no interactions with any call processing features.
    nOther Users
    When a user requests a Recent Change History report, it takes a little time 
    to read all the pages of the report.  If during this time other users are 
    entering data commands and altering the transaction log, the oldest 
    entries in the transaction log may have been overwritten by the data 
    commands entered by these other users.
    nSet Time Command
    The use of the maintenance Set Time command to change the system 
    clock could make the ‘Recent Change History’ report look as if it were not 
    in true last-in, first-out order.
    Administration
    None.

    Recorded Announcement
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with all Generic 3 releases. Barge-in announcements are 
    available with G3V3 and later releases. The c a pability to install multi ple 
    Integrated Announcement b oards is available with G3V4 and later releases. Also, 
    the capa bility to install external lineside T1 (DS1) connected announcements is 
    available with G3V4 and later releases.
    Description
    Provides a recorded announcement to callers under a variety of circumstances. 
    For exam ple, announcements can be used to let callers know that a call cannot 
    be completed as dialed, that their call is in queue, or that all lines are busy. By 
    letting announcements p erform these tasks, attendants and other users are free 
    to p erform other operations.
    Announcements may be required under any of the following circumstances:
    nDID calls c annot be completed as diale d
    nIncoming Private Network Access calls c annot be completed as dialed
    nCalls enter a split or skill (first announcement)
    nDDC, UCD or Direct Agent calls have been in queue for an assigned 
    interval
    nACD calls have been in queue for an assigned interval
    nA call’s destination is a Recorded Announcement extension
    nA call routes to a vector that contains an ‘‘announcement,’’ ‘‘disconnect 
    with announcement,’’ or ‘‘collect after announcement,’’ step. When a 
    vector “wait-time” step is programme d with an alternative audio/music 
    source. Or when a “route-to” step routes to an announcement extension.
    nAn announcement extension is specified as a coverage point
    nAn announcement is specified as the incoming destination of a trunk 
    group
    nVDN of Origin Announcement
    nSecurity Violation Notification
    nThe Hospitality Automatic Wakeup feature is in use
    The following are types of recorded announcements:
    nAnalog line
    An analog announcement requires an external announcement machine 
    connected by way of an analog line port. 
    						
    							Recorded Announcement
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1001
    nDS1 (DS1FD, DS1SA or DS1OPS)
    An analog-type announcement connected by way of a DS1 line port. This 
    announcement type is used with Conversant VIS equip ped with lineside 
    T1 circuit packs providing standard announcements for the DEFINITY 
    switch.
    nAuxiliary Trunk
    An auxiliary trunk announcement requires an external announcement 
    machine connected by way of an auxiliary trunk.
    nIntegrated
    An Integrated Announcement is stored internally on the switch on an 
    Integrated Announcement  board (TN750). Each circuit pack has 16 ports 
    available for playing announcements.
    With all announcement types, multiple callers can be c onnected to the b eginning 
    of an announcement. In addition, auxiliary trunk and Integrated Announcements 
    can be administered to allow callers to “ b arge-in” to announcements. The 
    following paragraphs describe announcement operation when barge-in is not 
    administered. Barge-in operation is described later in this section.
    If an announcement port is available when a call arrives, the call is connected to 
    the announcement. If an announcement port is not available, and the 
    announcement is administered with “n” for the queue option, then the caller 
    hears busy or other feedback depending upon how the announcement was 
    accessed.
    If an announcement port is not available, and the announcement is administered 
    with a queue, a call enters the announcement queue. When a port becomes 
    available, the switch takes the oldest call waiting in queue for the announcement 
    as well as any other calls in queue for that announcement up to the maximum 
    number that can b e connected. All these calls are connected to the beginning of 
    the announcement. The announcement queue length is predetermined for 
    Integrated Announcements and is administered for analog or aux-trunk 
    announcements.
    With barge-in announcements, only one p ort plays the announcement at any 
    time. Calls routed to that announcement connect immediately to the port and 
    hear the announcement from whatever point it was playing when the call 
    connected. Barge-in announcements are generally a dministered to repeat 
    continually while any callers are connected to the port. In this way, a caller that 
    connects to the middle of an announcement can continue listening until the 
    whole announcement is heard . 
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-1002Issue  3   March 1996 
    Integrated Announcements
    An Integrated Announcement is stored on the DEFI NIT Y swi t c h  on  a TN750 
    Integrated Announcement  circuit  pack. Multiple announcements can be stored 
    on each b oard up to the system capacity. (See Ap pendix A, System Parameters 
    for Integrated Announcement board system capacities.)
    Each Integrated Announcement board has 16 ports, and can play up to 16 
    simultaneous announcements. Multiple users can  be connected to each of these 
    announcements.
    Any announcement stored on a board can play through any port on the board. 
    And, any announcement (not administered for barge-in) can play simultaneously 
    through multiple ports. All 16 ports could play the same announcement at the 
    same time.
    Integrated Announcements stored on a TN750(A) are stored at a compression 
    rate of 32 Kb ps. With the TN750B and TN750C, Integrated Announcements are 
    stored at one of three compressions rates. The compression rate is a dministered 
    individually for each announcement extension. In this way, announcements with 
    different compression rates can be stored on the same board. During playback, 
    the switch sets the port to the correct comp ression rate for the announcement 
    that is being played.
    n64 Kbps compression rate allows for 128 seconds of recorded 
    announcement per board.
    n32 Kbps compression rate allows for 256 seconds of recorded 
    announcement per board. This is the default compression rate.
    n16 Kbps compression rate allows for 512 seconds of recorded 
    announcement per board. The 16 Kb ps rate does not provide a high 
    quality recording. It is not recommended for customer announcements b ut 
    is ad e quate for VDN of Origin Announcements.
    Single Integrated Announcement Boards
    With releases prior to G3V4, only one Integrated Announcement board can be 
    installed in any DEFINITY switch. This board can be a TN750, TN750B, or 
    TN750C.
    With a TN750 or TN750B when a board  is removed from the switch, or when 
    power is lost to the switch, any announcements stored on the board  are lost. 
    Therefore, announcements stored on the TN750 and TN750B b oards must be 
    backed up to the Mass Storage System (MSS).  W h en  a   board is inserted, reset, 
    or during system powerup, the switch  determines if announcements are present 
    on the board. If announcements are not present, they are automatically restored 
    from the MSS. See the 
    DEFI NIT Y Com munications System Generic 3 Version 4 
    Implementation,

    							Recorded Announcement
    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-1003
    The TN750C board has on-board FLASH memory backup. When the board is 
    removed from the switch or power is lost, the announcements are retained on the 
    board. Therefore, the TN750C does not require the Save and Restore  procedure. 
    However, the Save and Restore procedure c an still be used to  copy the contents 
    of a TN750C to another board.
    The TN750C substantially reduces the time required for power-up restore and 
    eliminates the need for a manual save of the board contents. However, a manual 
    save can also be performed if additional backup is desired.
    Multiple Integrated Announcement Boards
    With G3V4 and later releases, multiple Integrated Announcement boards can be 
    installed in G3i and G3r switches. Only one of these boards can be a TN750 or 
    TN750B. Be cause the switch will Save and Restore only one board, all additional 
    boards must b e TN750C. The use of multi ple Integrated Announcement boards 
    greatly increases the announcement capacity of the switch.
    !CAUTION:
    Do not c o py announcements from a TN750C to a TN750 or TN750B, as it 
    may corrupt the announcement data.
    End User Operation
    Integrated Announcements can be recorded, played back, or deleted by 
    initiating an announcement session. Announcement sessions can be accessed 
    only by users with console p ermissions assigned to the Class of Service (COS) 
    for the internal station or Remote Ac cess b arrier code. Announcement sessions 
    always use port 0 on the Integrated Announcement board.
    To begin an announcement session, the user must dial the administered Feature 
    Access Code (FAC) followed by the announcement extension. If an 
    announcement session is already in progress, or if a save or restore command 
    is in progress, the caller hears reorder tone (fast b usy) and is dropped from the 
    call.
    If port 0 is in use, the user hears reorder tone followed by silence. This indicates 
    that the port has been reserved for an announcement session. The user should 
    repeatedly redial the FAC and extension to gain access.
    Once an announcement session is accessed, the user can dial “1” to record an 
    announcement, “2” to play an announcement, or “ 3” to delete the announcement. 
    If the user gains access to an announcement session and hears stutter dial tone, 
    it indicates the board memory is more than 90% full. The user should still begin 
    speaking to record the announcement.
    If “1” is dialed, the switch attempts to start a recording session for the extension. 
    If the announcement is protected (designated as protect=y), the user hears  
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-1004Issue  3   March 1996 
    intercept tone. If the announcement is currently being played to callers, the user 
    hears reorder tone. If the record ing session is started, the user hears record  tone 
    and can begin recording. 
    When the record ing is complete, dial # if using a hybrid telephone or hang up if 
    using an analog or digital telephone. When using an analog or digital telephone, 
    ending with a “#” puts a tone in the message. After hanging up, the user may 
    record another announcement session operation for this extension. If the board 
    memory becomes full during recording, the user hears reorder tone and is 
    dropped.
    Upon comp letion of the recording session (drop), a 15 second timer is set. 
    During this time, announcements can be recorded but playback is restricted for 
    the just recorded message. To listen to the record ed announcement, dial the 
    FAC, the extension, and p ress 2 (playback). This allows the user to listen to the 
    announcement before it is available for general playback.
    The announcement is not available by directly dialing the announcement 
    extension or by other call processing features using the announcement extension 
    until the 15 second time period expires. During the 15 seconds, the 
    announcement can be heard by dialing the announcement FAC, the 
    announcement extension, and pressing 2 (playback).
    If “2” is dialed, the user hears the announcement recorded for that extension 
    followed by dial tone. Once dial tone is heard, the user can perform another 
    operation, such as record ing a new announcement.
    If “3” is dialed, the announcement is deleted and the user hears confirmation 
    tone. If the announcement is protected, or is currently being played, it is not 
    deleted and the user hears reorder tone.
    Considerations
    In G3V3 and later releases, the Recorded Announcements feature enhances the 
    Automatic Wakeup feature by allowing Automatic Wakeup to use the built-in 
    TN750B or later suffix announcement board in place of the more expensive 
    Audichron adjunct.
    Interactions
    Recorded Announcement is used in conjunction with ACD, Automatic Wakeup, 
    Call Vectoring, VDN of Origin Announcement, Call Promp ting, Intercept 
    Treatment,  DDC, and  UCD features.

    Recorded Telephone Dictation Access
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with all Generic 3 releases.
    Description
    Permits voice terminal users, including Remote Access and incoming tie trunk 
    users, to access dictation equipment.
    The d i ctation e quipment is accessed by dialing an access code or extension 
    number (depending on how the feature is a dministered).  After the dictation 
    equipment is accessed, the start/stop function can be voice- or dial-controlled. 
    Other functions such as initial activation and playback are controlled by 
    a d ditional dial c o des.  The specific dial codes depend on the dictation 
    equipment selected.
    Considerations
    This feature provides dictation equipment which users can access at their own 
    convenience.  Dictation can be recorded, corrected, and played back by the 
    user.
    Interactions
    The Recorded Telephone Dictation Access feature cannot be used  with the 
    following features:
    nAutomatic Route Selection 
    nConference — Attendant 
    nConference — Terminal
    Administration
    Recorded Telephone Dictation Ac c ess is administered on a p er-system b asis by 
    the System  Manager.  The following items require administration:
    nOne p ort on an Analog Line circ uit pack (per dictation machine) and an 
    extension number
    or
    nOne p ort on an Auxiliary Trunk circuit pack and a trunk access code
