Instructions
In this example, we administer the system to allow local callers and incoming trunk callers to hear music
while on hold. Note that if you use Tenant Partitioning, you cannot set up Music on Hold this way. See
Providing Service for Multiple Tenants
on page 72 for more information.

Now administer a class of restriction with
Hear System Music on Hold
set to y, to allow your
local users to hear music on hold.
More information
If a call with either Data Privacy or Data Restriction activated is placed on hold, the Music/Tone on Hold
is withheld. This is to prevent transmission of a musical tone that a connected data service might falsely
interpret as a data transmission.
If you administer the
Music/Tone on Hold
field to provide music, the system provides the music after a
hunt group or Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) split delayed announcement.
Music on Hold may sound distorted when played to IP trunks or to IP phones through certain codecs,
particularly the G.723 codec. You can provide different on-hold materials for these endpoints. Using the
instructions for
Providing Service for Multiple Tenants
, create one tenant partition for all endpoints that
do not use the G.723 codec and administer Music on Hold for this tenant. Create another tenant partition
for endpoints that use the G.723 codec and administer silence, news, or other material that does not sound
distorted for these endpoints.
