Overview

The DSP-ONE cards can provide Voice Recorded Announcements (VRAs) on the VRA SIMM.

On the DSP-ONE card, the VRA feature physically resides on the VRA Module. Each VRA Module has two "logical SIMMs." One of these logical SIMMs performs the VRA function, and the other logical SIMM provides four general purpose DSP chips.

Managing Voice Recorded Announcements

A voice recorded announcement is managed using a numeric Recorded Announcement ID (RAN ID) which must be a number between 0 and 4,095. The host assigns a RAN ID to each announcement as the announcement is downloaded. This RAN ID is then used whenever the host, using the Recorded Announcement Connect message (0x0055), commands the Excel platform to play out the announcement.
