ANN-PT (Announcement Port)
There are 16 announcement ports on the announcement circuit pack. Each port
can play any integrated announcement, independently of the other ports. In
addition to the 16 ports, the announcement circuit pack also has one data line
circuit port (Port 17). The data line circuit port is used for uploading/downloading
the announcement memory to/from the system removable media or disk devices.
If there are any errors associated with Port 17, see ‘‘DAT-LINE (Data Line Port)’’
maintenance information. If there are any errors associated with the circuit pack,
see ‘‘ANN-BD (Announcement Circuit Pack)’’ maintenance information.
Essential Service Information
There are a number of important basic principles that should be understood
before undertaking work on the announcement circuit pack. These are described
under ‘‘Essential Service Information’’ on page 8-120 of the “ANN-BD“MO.
Although announcement port 5 and data line circuit port 17 on the announcement
circuit pack are logically two separate ports, they are physically the same port.
Therefore, if one of the ports is active, the other one will be busy. Also, if
announcement port 5 is out-of-service, the data line circuit port will be taken
out-of-service. However, if the data line circuit port is out-of-service, the
announcement port will remain in-service.
