Table 3-1, Add Announcement Page Parameters
Name Provide a name for the announcement.
Note: Valid characters include uppercase letters (A-Z), low-
ercase letters (a-z), numerals (0-9), space, and the following
special characters: !@$*?-.,.
Type Use the drop-down menu to select if the announcement is
Normal or Emergency.
DTMF Code Provide a DTMF code for this announcement to use when
manually starting the announcement from an Admin
Phone. The number can have from 1 to 10 digits. You can-
not assign the same DTMF code to multiple announce-
ments.
Note: When you record an announcement by dialing *990
or by selecting Record Announcement on the Admin
phone’s Announce menu, the initial DTMF Code for the
recorded and saved announcement will be set to the
announcement’s row ID. You can change the DTMF Code
after the announcement is saved by editing the announce-
ment in the Admin Web Interface Announcements view.
The saved announcement has Play to Zone set to blank (no
zone selected). This means that when you play an
announcement via an IP phone Announcement menu
selection, you will be asked to enter a zone number (where
0 = All Speakers). You can define a permanent zone number
for the saved announcement by updating Play to Zone
after the recorded announcement has been saved.
File Upload Select Choose File, navigate to the audio file for this
announcement, and then select the file. C4000 supports
both WAV and MP3 file formats.
Note: This option only appears if you have selected the File
Upload tab.
Times to Play Select the number of times the announcement will play.
Parameters are between 0 and 10.
Note: A setting of 0 results in the playing continuously until
it is manually stopped via the dashboard.
