4.5 Annunciator_Device

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the annunciator resource usage for a Communications Manager. An annunciator enables Communications Manager to play recorded announcements and tones to Cisco IP phones, gateways, and other configurable devices.

This script raises an event if the number of times annunciator resources were unavailable exceeds the threshold, or if the percentage of resource usage exceeds the threshold. In addition, this script generates data streams for the number of active resources, the number of available resources, the number of times resources were unavailable, and the percentage of resource usage.
