Bulk delete announcements 1

[BIS]

Anyone have a clever way of deleting announcements (from a G450) in bulk? I hate to do it 1 by 1 in ASA, there must be a smarter way.

I've used WinSCP to connect to a G450 to delete and add announcements easily. When you connect I think it will put you in the /annc directory so it should be simple.

This can be done via FTP.

In CM:
enable filex
login
password
secure = n

From a DOS prompt
c:\ftp 10.1.2.3

To show file structure.
dir
or
ls

To remove a file
delete filename.wav
If the file name has a space in it.
delete "file name.wav"

You can stack your delete commands and paste them all at once like this:
delete "test1.wav"
delete "test2.wav"
delete "test3.wav"
delete "test4.wav"

in CM:
disable filex board X

Command: list directory /annc board 3v9
Command: erase announcements 3v9
Command: remove file board 3v9 /annc/5816.wav

Thanks all.
Above related to the actual wav files, I am aware they can be accessed via FTP.
But how would delete the actual announcement (extension) from CM, without doing one by one ?

 

[Sean655]

In ASA you can use the Import tool to remove announcements.

Hmm, nice one. Didn't think of that. Will try this out - have a star

That worked a charm - thanks!
