Professional or computer recordings
If you are using the VAL (TN2501AP) announcement circuit
pack, you can record announcements at a computer, rather than at
a system phone. You can also record announcements at an off-site
location and transfer them to the board using VAL Manager or
File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
To be compatible with the TN2501AP circuit pack and the
DEFINITY system, announcement recordings must have the
following parameters:
■ CCITT A-Law or CCITT µ-Law companding format (do
not use PCM)
■ 8KHz sample rate
■ 8-bit resolution (bits per sample)
■ Mono (channels = 1)
Recording new announcements at a computer
To record an announcement at a computer:
1. At the computer, open the application that you use to
record .wav files.
2. Set the recording parameters.
3. Record the announcement by speaking into a microphone
connected to the computer.
4. Play the announcement back at the computer before
transferring the file to the VAL (TN2501AP) circuit pack.
