Music on Hold w/out boards 1

[TeeJayWA]

Does anyone have a solution for Music on Hold for a G3si on MultiVantage, but without the MOH board and without an announcement board?

Connect a music source to an analog port.
Assign the music on hold to that port.

Take a look at IMS Telephone On-Hold Player. It runs on most Windows platforms, so you can use PCAnywhere, or VNC to remote to it. It can be configured to automatically download music and announcement files from the internet. You can also add your own announcements/advertisements, and schedule to frequency that they play. The application is very configurable and very cheap (about $60). The web site for this is

You can connect the audio output of the PC to a trunk/aux port on the switch.

Both idead presented demonstrate a method to create the music...how/what type of connection is used from the music source (CD player, radio, or PC sound card) to the analog port?

I've already posted before on this.
thread690-506975 here it is again:

On my definity, I use these Audiotrak TEL-1 transformers.
Its a little black box with 2 screws for input wires from an audio source and 2 screws for output to a telephone line.

The input I went to an electronics store (or Radio Shack if you are desperate and don't mind paying a bit more), get a 1/8" headset type plug and some speaker wire, and hook this up to the input side. Plug the 1/8" plug to your CD, MP3, PC soundcard or whatever a headset can fit into.

Then on the output side, put some phone wire and bix it into your analog port that you use for your music on hold.

I got mine through Avaya, but you can try the manufacturer.
