The Announcements feature provides a v VAL source for each branch gateway that is registered to either an S8300E, S8300D, or an Avaya duplex or Avaya simplex server. The duplex or simplex system supports 250 v VAL sources, and Avaya Aura® Media Server. S8300E and S8300D support 50 v VAL sources and Avaya Aura® Media Server (MS).
In Communication Manager 7.0 or later, the duplex or simplex system with the Increased Capacities Configuration supports 250 v VAL sources per system.
Note:
The software resources for integrated announcement sources and branch gateways are separated. The Branch Gateways v VAL sources are counted separately towards the limit of 50 on S8300E and S8300D, and 250 on the duplex or simplex system.
