Broadcast Announcement Files - Select Files dialog box
This dialog box lets you select the announcement files that you want to broadcast to
other VAL/virtual VAL boards.

How do I use this dialog box?
To use this dialog box, complete the following steps:
1 At the top of the Local Files box, be sure the correct folder is displayed.
If it is not, click Select Files to select the folder that has the files you want to
broadcast.
2 In the Local Files box, select the files you want to broadcast, and click the > button. If
you want to broadcast all of the files, click the >> button.
The files you selected appear in the Selected Files to Broadcast box.
If you make a mistake, highlight the mistake in the Selected Files to Broadcast box and
click the < button, or click Cancel to start over.
3 If you want the files to overwrite the protected announcement files, select the
Override Protected Bit check box.
For example, suppose an administered announcement titled hello.wav is present on a
VAL board 01A05. (Both the audio file and the announcement property for hello.wav are
present on the VAL board 01A05.) Also, the protected bit for the announcement property
is set to y (that is, the announcement is protected).
Now, you try to broadcast hello.wav onto VAL boards, including the VAL board 01A05,
which already contains the administered announcement hello.wav. If you selected the
Override Protected Bit check box, the property on VAL board 01A05 will be
unprotected, hello.wav will be copied, and the property for that announcement will be
protected again.
