Recording Announcements on VAL 1

You would need the Val Manager. Should be around $300 from Avaya. Here is the user guide if you want to make sure it can do what you want...
In the future everything will work...

The nickel tour of the val board is as follows:
To record messages via the phone, its the same as the old 750c. Build the announcement in cha ann, give it a name, board location, and extension, and bit rate. Dial FAC to record.
To upload wav files to the VAL is alot simpler than you might think, even without the VAL manager. My VAL manger app has a problem so I been just using the dos FTP client.
Let's assume you already have the wav file and its called test.wav. It must be in U-law, 8khz, 8bit, mono format. You can save it by opening it in windows sound recorder, and do a save as, and change the format. Also save it into a directory that is easy to find, IE. c:\Wavs
Next you have to build the announcement on the val board. Do a cha announcemnet exactly like you would if you were going to add a new announcement and record it via the phone. Remember to name it test and lets use extension 4444 (naming scheme is important)
Next you need to enable the file system on the val board.
The command is: enable filesystem board 1a08 login ayava avaya01 (use your board location)
avaya is my login, and avaya01 is my password.
next go to a dos window. make sure you are in the C:\Wavs directory. and FTP into your val board. ie. ftp 192.168.1.73 (use your ip address)
You will be prompted for a user name (avaya) and a password (avaya01). At this point you are in the annc/ directory. Do a LS or DIR and you will see all the existing wav files.
You must be in Binary mode for the file transfer or it will be corrupted (note this is the same for all transfers to the clan\val boards etc.) at the ftp prompt type: Binary
Next do: put test.wav (note the wave file must be named the same as the announcement, but include the .wav extension it is also case sensitive. .wav extension must be in lower case)
You should be all set. Dial 4444 and you will hear the announcement.
This document talks about the various features of the CM 2.x and how to implement them. It is very helpful. It is also relivant for older revs.
