Operating Mode
Operating Mode This is used to select an operating mode for programming the mode specific pointers. Examples
of operating modes are Day, Night or Holiday. This field does not set the operating mode for the system, that is done
in the Schedule Table. This selection allows you to program different destinations called event pointers for each
mode. Press return on this field and all the mode blocks will be displayed. Choose the mode for which you would like
to program. If you select 'Default' it means all the time - unless another mode is entered to override the default set-
ting. If you want the same setting to be in effect all the time, simply program the 'default' mode and leave the set-
tings for all other modes blank.
Call Director
This is used to program the target for specific conditions or events. In the case of the announcement block there is
only one target. That is the 'Next' event. This determines what block the control will pass to after the current block.
CallDirector Event Pointers To edit an Event Pointer, position the cursor on the event (in this case NEXT is the only
available option) and press ENTER to bring up the Target Generator. Select and open the appropriate block type from
the Target Generator pick list. This will be the destination to go to 'NEXT’ highlight and open an existing block or cre-
ate a new block. Press 'Ctrl + O' to review or edit the selected block.
NEXT Pointer The next block to go to after an announcement has played. This may only be another announcement.
If left blank, this announcement is the last to play unless a wild card digit was used to select a list of announcements
to play (see the 'Audiotext Librarian' which is used to control Announcement Blocks). Once the last announcement
has played, control returns to the audiotext.
AudioText Librarian
Description
This provides the control for Announcement Blocks.
The Audiotext Librarian controls all the prompting and parameters used when recording and playing back announce-
ments. This information includes the allowed length of the message and the number of days it will be retained. The
Audiotext Librarian Block is used in conjunction with a Menu Block to disseminate information. This block does not
contain pointers to announcement blocks. To play an announcement block, a menu is used to collect digits from the
caller that match the number of the announcement block, and then the menu block passes control to an Audiotext
Librarian. The Audiotext Librarian calls the announcement that matched the digits entered by the caller.
There is no limit to the number of Announcement Blocks a Librarian may manage. Also, an individual Announcement
Block may be accessed through different Librarians. This is useful for setting different control conditions for the per-
son administering the recordings. The Librarian determines when an announcement should be discarded, based on
either elapsed time, or how many times it should be played. The retention time may also be reinitialized each time the
Announcement plays. These controls assure the information available is always current.
The CallDirector section of the Audiotext Librarian uses Event Pointers to pass control of the caller after the appro-
priate announcements have played.
