About Avaya G700 announcement software
Voice announcements are used in a call center environment to announce delays, direct
customers to different departments, and entertain and inform calling parties. The announcement
capability is standard and comes co-resident on the G700. The G700 announcement software
has many of the functions of the TN2501AP VAL circuit pack.
See Table 26: Comparison between the G700 Announcement software and the VAL circuit
pack on page 390 for differences between the Avaya G700 Announcement software and the
VAL circuit pack. For more information on Avaya G700 Announcement software, see the
