Appendix D: New Music for the Music-on-Hold Feature

Overview

The System provides a default internal music file for music-on-hold. This is the music file heard by callers when
their calls are placed on hold or in the parking lot (call park feature). You can use a TFTP transfer to replace the
default file with your own music file.
This appendix describes how to convert your music file to the appropriate format and then configure the System.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following for the computer you are using:
• TFTP server software
• a program to convert the music file (for example, MP3) to the raw G711u format
• its local IP address
You can use any TFTP server software and any music conversion program that supports the raw G711u format.
To find the local IP address of this computer, follow these instructions:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Enter cmd in the Open field, and click the OK button.
4. At the prompt, enter ipconfig and press the Enter key.
5. The local IP address of the computer will be displayed. Write it down; you will use it later.
