Converting announcement files to VAL format

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |
Prolog information
If you share recordings in a multisite environment with Communication Manager and Avaya Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, you can convert announcement files for use on either system. If you want to convert an announcement file to the required format, you can use a sound recording utility application, such as Microsoft Sound Recorder.
  1. Open the sound recording application on your computer.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For example, you might use Microsoft Windows Sound Recorder.
  2. Open the file that you want to convert.
  3. Check the file properties to determine if you must change the parameters.
  4. If you must change the recording parameters, look for a conversion tool.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Some tools have a
  5. function.
  • Change the file parameters to parameters that are listed in Announcement file format requirements.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    In some applications, assigning the format (for example, CCITTμ-Law) sets the remainder of the default parameters. Check each parameter carefully, and change the default setting to match the required parameters if necessary. Note that CCITT μ-Law or A-Law can be referred to as ITU G.711 μ-Law or ITU G.711 A-Law, respectively.
