This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates the MUSIC ON HOLD jack on the primary processor module. The jack must be active and an audio source must be connected to the jack in order to provide recorded music or messages to callers on hold.

Considerations

If Music On Hold is Not Active or if no audio source is connected, callers on hold hear silence.

The audio source must be connected to the control unit using an RCA phono plug. For more information, see the PARTNER II Communications System Installation guide.

The volume of the audio source can be adjusted using the music-on-hold volume adjustment screw on the primary processor module. For more information, see the PARTNER II Communications System Installation guide.

If the audio source develops trouble (such as a bad tape), you can quickly turn it off by changing the Music On Hold setting to Not Active until you are able to solve the problem.

If you use Music On Hold to broadcast certain copyrighted music or material, including songs or other material from radio broadcasts, you may be required to obtain the permission of the copyright owner. One way to obtain permission is to contact ASCAP, BMI, and/or similar performing rights organizations, to obtain a license. Lucent Technologies disclaims any liability arising out of the failure to obtain such a license, if required.
