ANN-PT (announcement port)
Issue 1 June 2005 471
Notes:
a. The Announcement circuit pack can exhibit a condition that does not allow recording.
If the circuit pack gets locked into this state (this is an extremely rare condition), two of the
Announcement Ports on the circuit pack (one of which is the record port) is unusable by
software. Also, save/restore announcements do not work because the record port looks
busy to the circuit pack. Note that software does not have any way of knowing this and attempts
to use the ports.
If the circuit pack is locked into this state, the following symptoms are observed:
● When attempting to record an announcement, users hear the proper record tone, but the
announcement does not record (they do not know it until the announcement is played
back).
● Performing a test board location long when the circuit pack is in this state yields
the following abort codes:
● Ports 1 AND 9 abort Test #206 with code 1024
● Ports 1 AND 9 abort Test #205 with code 2000
● Board level Tests #209 and #210 abort with code 1024
● Save/restore announcements times out with Error encountered, can’t complete
request
FAIL Test failed. Announcements played back on this port may sound corrupted.
1. Reset the circuit pack via reset board PCSS and then run this test
again. If the test continues to fail, replace the circuit pack (see Warning).
2. If there are recurring alarms on this port caused by this test failing,
replace the circuit pack even if Step 1 works (see Warning).
!
WARNING:
WARNING: Replacing the circuit pack results in loss of integrated
announcements. Refer to General notes
on page 465.
PASS This test verifies that the Angel processor can properly set up this port for
playbacks. User-reported troubles on this circuit pack should be investigated
using other port and circuit pack tests. (Refer to ANN-BD (Announcement
circuit pack) on page 447 for a description of the circuit pack tests.)
