Configuring Music Channels
The Music Channels section of the configuration allows you to determine the music or message to be
played to an external caller while their call is on hold. A Call Server can support up to 6 Music Channel
entries allowing a different message or piece of music can be played to callers to a specific Company,
Department or User.
Music can be stored on the Call Server as a WAV file or supplied via an external music source. The ability
of a specific Call Server to support this facility is controlled by the relevant Voicemail Port. Within this
Voicemail Port ensure that Music Server option is ticked. Please refer to the Voicemail Ports section from
212 for further details.
Please note: A music channel will not use a voicemail channel.

relevant Call Server.

format or Goldwave is available at a modest cost (www.goldwave.com).) There is no limit to the number
and size of WAV files that can be stored on the Call Server (other than disk space). (Please note that
8000Hz mono 16bit (128kbps) WAV files can also be used but they are twice the size.)
Please note: WAV files are a general resource. If used for messages callers will not be automatically
played the message from the beginning.

The Play List field is blank, which indicates that the
default WAV file should be used. This entry will play
“Please hold” to all external callers placed on hold;
however this default configuration can be changed as
