Nortel DMS-100 Announcement Table (ANNS)

Table Name

Announcement Table

Functional Description of Table ANNS

This table contains data for each analog and digital announcement that is assigned in the switching unit.

For all line connections to announcements, the Central Control (CC) instructs the connecting Peripheral Modules (PM) to use a 0 dB (zero) pad level on the line card gain setting.  This is a default value and cannot be administered.  A 0 dB pad level is the Nil Pad Group (NPDGP).  For further information, refer to table PADDATA (Pad Data).

Datafill Sequence & Implications

The following tables must be datafilled before table ANNS:

The following tables must be datafilled after table ANNS:

Before a Subscriber Activated Call Blocking (SACB) announcement can be entered in table ANNS, an announcement CLLI must first be entered in table CLLI.  An entry for SACB announcements can then be entered in table ANNS.  Once value SACB is entered in table ANNS, the data for each announcement member must be entered in table ANNMEMS, and the phrases recorded on the Digital Recorded Announcement Machine (DRAM) cards must be entered in table DRMUSERS.

DMS-100 Service Switching Point (SSP) standard announcements are datafilled in table ANNS and are mapped to the system announcement ID in table AINANNS (Advanced Intelligent Network Announcement).  DMS-100 SSP customized announcements are datafilled in tables ANNS and DRMUSERS and are mapped to the system announcement ID in table AINANNS.

Table Size

0 to 255 tuples.

Memory for table ANNS is allocated dynamically.

Note:  The size of table ANNS increases if tables CUSTANN (Customer Group Announcement) and NSCANNS (Number Service Code Announcement) and if options XN26AA (announcement enhancements) or X983AB (SSP private virtual networking) are present in the office.  With these tables, the size of table ANNS increases to 2,047 tuples.  This increase is needed to support a larger number of customer groups (300 to 500).

                                               Each loudspeaker location must have its own

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAFSNO                    0 to 127            Traffic Separation Numbers
                                               If the switch has feature package X085AA (Traffic 
					       Separation Peg Count), enter the Traffic
					       Separation number, 1 to 127, that is assigned
					       to the announcement.  If the traffic separation
					       is not required, enter "0" (zero).
  

                                               For switches with package X085AA, the range of 
					       values for the traffic separation number depends 
					       on office parameter TFAN_OUT_MAX_NUMBER in table 
					       OFCENG.

					       For switching units without package X085AA,
					       the range of values for the traffic separation 
					       numbers is 0 to 15.

                                               Reserve the traffic separation numbers 1 to 9 
					       for generic traffic separation numbers.

					       Refer to table TFANINT (Traffic Separation 
					       Intersection) for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAXCONN                    1 to 255            Maximum Connections
                                               Enter the maximum number of simultaneous 
					       connections that are permitted on the 
					       announcement.  An entry outside this range 
					       is invalid.

                                               If ANNTYPE is equal to VPSA or CNAT, a value 
					       of 255 must be entered.

					       For XA-Core, Nortel recommends "255" be
					       entered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CYTIME                     1 to 18, or 0       Cycle Times
                                               Enter the time, in seconds, for one announcement 
					       cycle on one channel (see the second, third, and 
					       fourth tables in this document).  An entry
					       outside this range is invalid and will cause the
					       recorded announcement to be cut-off, at which
					       point the line will be placed in a SYSBSY state.

                                               Note 1: If the announcement cycle is longer
					       than 18 seconds, field CYTIME can be changed to 0 
					       (zero).  This allows flexible announcement timing,
					       which does not have a maximum limit for 
					       announcement length.  The length of the
					       announcement is always matched without datafill 
					       change.

                                               Note 2: If your office is equipped with a
					       Cook or equivalent announcement machine and table 
					       AUDIO is datafilled as ANNS, 0 is datafilled in 
					       field CYTIME.

                                               Note 3: The cycle time for an Audichron is
					       0 (zero) due to the variable length announcement 
					       feature on Audichron.  By setting the value of 
					       this field to 0 (zero), the length of the 
					       announcement is always matched.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAXCYC                     1 to 255            Maximum Cycles
                                               Enter the maximum number of times the complete 
					       announcement is heard before the call is 
					       advanced to the next route in the route list. 
					       An entry outside of this range is invalid.

                                               This field must be set to "1" for multilingual 
					       NTC service.  For multilingual NTC service, 
					       since one tuple represents one language and 
					       one announcement cycle contains several 
					       languages, each tuple in table DRMUSERS is 
					       used only once before advancing to the next 
					       tuple (language) in the same cycle.  Thus, the 
					       number of announcement cycles datafilled in 
					       table ANNS must be one to ensure that languages 
					       are repeated in the proper sequence.

                                               This field should be set to "1" for ADS 
					       announcements.
