RECORDING VOICE FILES
Voice Files recorded for Auto Attendants and Loops Tapes are stored as files using Pulse Code
Modulation (PCM) format. These files can be identified by the file extension .pcm. The file name
begins with $va followed by a three-digit number such as, $va001.pcm or $va123.pcm. The
three-digit number after $va is the number you set up for that voice file. Voice files can be recorded
in one of two ways:
• Using the Voice Message Recorder
• Using the base system Port Expansion Unit Model 205 (PEU 205) or Dry Contact Unit
(DCU) and the TVS Command Prompt.
For the best possible sound quality, Telecor recommends that you use an audio source connected to
a PEU 205 or DCU.
Recording Using the Voice Message Recorder
To record using the Voice Message Recorder, complete the following steps:
1. Dial 7239 from any station option on the VS1 phone system. The following message is heard:
“You have activated the Telecor System Voice Recorder. Please enter your passcode.”
2. Dial 86423 (V-O-I-C-E). The following message is heard: “Thank you. To record, press 1. To
play, press 2. To exit, press *.”
3. Press 1 to record. The following message is heard: “Enter the number of the file you wish to
record.”
4. Enter a file number between one and three digits. For example, enter 100 for the file number.
Note: Files can be numbered 0-10 and 14-899. Telecor reserves prerecorded voice file numbers
11-13 and 900-999. See page 222 for a list of those messages. If a file number is already
in use, the new voice file replaces the existing voice file.
5. Wait for the beep, and then speak into your handset or headset. Press # to end the recording.
Record the message. Hang up or press * to end your recording session.
For example, if you choose to record and enter 100, the voice file $va100.pcm is created and
stored on the TVS in the c:\ops\va directory. To listen to any message you record, press 2
after Step 3, and then enter the number of the file you want to hear. If you enter a file number
not recorded, you hear a two-beep error tone.
Recording Using the PEU-205 or DCU
An audio source, such as a tape recorder, connects to one of the two music inputs on the PEU-205 or
DCU. The VS1 System accepts 600 ohm, low-impedance signals. A cable is required to connect the
audio source to the terminals on the PEU-205 (or DCU). The PEU-205 and DCU accept spade
connectors, number 6 stud, or bare wire. Use 24-gauge wire or larger. See the Hardware section for
connecting an audio source.
