Network Announcement (NETANN)

Network Announcement (NETANN) is an announcement server that can be directed to play media files and put callers into a conference by adding directives to the SIP URL used to contact PowerMedia XMS.

Routing a SIP call to a specific application server is accomplished through the Routing > Routes page from the Console. By default, any SIP call whose URL begins with sip:annc or sip:conf= will be directed to the NETANN service. Refer to the Dialogic® PowerMedia™ XMS Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.

Setup and Configuration

NETANN uses Native mode rather than the default MSML mode. After installing PowerMedia XMS using either the ISO or RPM installation method (refer to the Installation Process section), access the PowerMedia XMS Admin Console (also referred to herein as "Console") to change the mode.

Switching to Native mode is accomplished as follows:

  1. From the Console, click the System > Mode page.

  2. Click the Native radio button.

  3. Click Apply.

Note: System services must be restarted each time you change the mode. To do this, select System > Services page.
