You can downgrade from using up to 1024 announcements on a compact flash to using up to 256 announcements on the internal flash.
Important:
The internal flash can only store up to 256 announcement files, totaling no more than 45 minutes.
Procedure
Backup the announcements from the compact flash to a USB device by entering the CLI command backup config usbusb-devicebackup-nameannouncements-compact-flash.
If you have only a few announcement files, you can use the CLI command copy announcement-file usb to copy them one by one.
At the SAT interface of the Communication Manager, enter disable announcement-board, and then set enable CF to n on the change media-gateway screen.
Important:
Ensure the yellow CARD IN USE (CF BSY) LED associated with the compact flash is not flashing.
If a compact flash is removed while it is in use, the announcement files on the compact flash may become corrupted and the Branch Gateway may reset, causing all announcement files in the RAM to be lost.
Remove the compact flash memory card.
Optionally replace the 512 MB RAM card with the 256 MB RAM card.
At the SAT interface of the Communication Manager, enter enable announcement-board.
Make sure there are no more than 256 announcement files in the backup.
If the number of announcement files exceeds 256, manually delete as many as necessary in the backup directory.
Restore the announcements from the USB device to internal flash by entering the CLI command restore usbusb-devicebackup-nameannouncements-internal-flash.
Note:
In FIPS mode, identity certificates are not backed-up nor restored to the USB device and must be downloaded again after the restore operation. In FIPS mode backup performed on the same gateway can be restored but backup performed on non-FIPS mode cannot.
If you copy the announcement files one by one, you can restore them using the CLI command copy ftp announcement-file.
Attach the blank plate with screws to cover the compact flash (CMPCT FLSH) slot.
