|
Ensure that the same companding mode is administered on page 1 of the Location Parameters screen (type change location- parameters) for both environments.
|
|
An announcement does not play.
|
If a working VAL announcement file is deleted, the next attempt to play the announcement fails, and the system adds a software event to the Denial Events Log.
|
View the Denial Events log to determine if the announcement was deleted. If the announcement was deleted, restore or rerecord the announcement.
|
|
The system displays error code E28 when you attempt to restore announcements.

An integrated announcement source is not installed in the system.
|
Install an integrated announcement source.
|
|
The system displays error code E31 when you attempt to restore announcements.
|
A call is connected to the announcement on the announcement source and the port is busy.
|
Wait for the call to disconnect, and try to restore announcements again. If the system has an abnormal shutdown, or if there is a processor interchange during the restore announcements process, the restore process fails. There is no valid announcement on the announcement source. Repeat the process when the system is operating properly.
