hi all
in a flash car to insert for an embeded vm if there enough space is possible to insert a hold music or must be managed in another way?
 
the IP will take an embedded MOH fiel (max 30 seconds) even without the flash card.

if a file "musiconhold.wav" is in the manager directory it will be uploaded on a reboot
unfortunatly the manager application must be running (but not necessarily logged on) for this to work. This means if your maintainer performs maintanence & needs to reboot the system MOH may be lost.

Personaly considering the above & the low cost of cd & MP3 players I do not consider the embeded MOH to be a worthwhile option.
 
thank you,
so just to know,is possible to insert the MOH in the flas card?
 
yes and it gets you around having to have Manager with the wav file running when the system reboots. Several steps which to the best of my memory are:

1) Set the File Writer IP Address to the IP address of your PC.

2) Set the TFTP Server IP Address to the IP Office LAN1 IP address.

3) You should be able to then use TFTP from the Windows command line to send the holdmusic.wav file to the IP Office (something like TFTP PUT holdmusic.wav 192.168.42.1 -i (working from memory here)).

4) Each time the IP Office reboots it will look for the file on the Compact Flash card.

ps. If your not using emebedded voicemail, then you can do this with non-Avaya compact flash memory cards.
 
Speaking of this has anyone got any good moh wav files that they could let me try out. The alcatel has a brilliant one but have been unable to pull it from the system. abc_matt at hotmail dot com
 
Good point sizbut, I completly missed it
mos definetly worth a star!
 
would I be correct in assuming the same can be done for phone firmware?
 
In theory yes, but at the expense of a lot of message space - the full set of phone bins was weighing in at some 15MB plus last time I looked. On the SOE card (64MB) that would be a signifcant hit unless you weeded out bin files not needed by the phones the customer has. On the 406 V2 (512MB) maybe not so significant.

Of course if they're not using the card slot for embedded then no pain and a nice gain.

As with all things IP Office I don't know how robust a TFTP option it would be for more than 5 or 6 IP phones.
