Announcement recordings
There are no default queue announcements for user and hunt groups. The maximum length
for announcements is set according to the number of seconds configured in the Maximum
Record Time field provided in the System > Voicemail tab. The maximum value that can be
configured in the Maximum Record Time field is 180 seconds. There are two default short
codes that enable you to record announcements. On existing and upgraded systems these or
similar short codes need to be added manually. The default short codes are:
*91N; / N “.1” / Record Message: Used to record an announcement 1. For example, to record
announcement 1 for a hunt group on extension 300, dial *91300# and follow the instructions
to record the new announcement.
*92N; / N “.2” / Record Message: Used to record an announcement 2. For example, to record
announcement 2 for a hunt group on extension 300, dial *92300# and follow the instructions
to record the announcement.
