announcements
 will not work, since the record port looks busy to the 
circuit pack. Note that software does not have any way of knowing this and 
attempts to use the ports.
If the circuit pack is locked into this state, the following symptoms are 
observed:
1. When attempting to record an announcement, users hear the 
proper record tone, but the announcement does not record (they 
do not know it until the announcement is played back).
2. Performing a 
test board long
 when the circuit pack is in this state 
yields the following abort codes:
■ Ports 1 and 9 abort Test #206 with code 1024
■ Ports 1 and 9 abort Test #205 with code 2000
■ Board level Tests #209 and #210 abort with code 1024
3. The 
save/restore announcements
 command times out with:
Error encountered, can’t complete request
The Announcement circuit pack lock-up can be cleared remotely by 
performing a soft reset to the circuit pack:
■ busyout board PCSS
 (this command drops all calls in progress on 
the Announcement circuit pack)
■ reset circuit pack using the 
reset board PCSS
 command
■ release circuit pack using the 
release board PCSS
 command
140AY Channel Sanity Inquiry Test (#222)
The Angel keeps a sanity status bit for each of the 16 channels on the 140AY 
device. This test queries the Angel to determine the status for a particular 
channel. If a channel is insane, that implies that announcements cannot be 
played back on that channel.
