Modify ASVP alarm message repetitions

As standard, all the ASVP alarm messages are repeated endlessly, but for some applications it is required that the message is played once or a few times and then stop. For every alarm message there is a parameter that controls the number of repetitions. As this parameter is not available from AlphaPro, it has to be changed directly in the AMC memory, using the nvram editor in the TST console.

NOTE: Before continuing it is highly recommended to do a backup of AMC memory to Flash. Dial 7820+M from a SuperUser station.

• Enable the TST-console

.ex_mi.announce_tab[1].repeat

Change the number of repetitions of the Alarm Messages:

• Change parameter for message 1 (Directory number 8191)
