3.5 MUSIC ON HOLD

TalkSwitch can play music to callers when they are on hold, parked or queued. The music played to the callers is provided by the source you have connected to the MUSIC port or from a .wav file (8 KHz, 8 bit, mono, u-law, wav format) stored internally on the unit(s).

When a .wav file is loaded on the TalkSwitch units, the file is duplicated to all units on the LAN for redundancy in case the LAN goes down or a particular unit is unavailable.

Music on Hold and Call Forwarding to Remote Extensions

If you are using the telephone company’s 3-Way Calling/Conference service (Same Line Connect) to activate TalkSwitch’s Call Forwarding, callers do not hear your music while they are forwarded to a Remote Extension. When calls are forwarded, the caller is put on hold by the telephone company’s central office switch rather than by TalkSwitch and the caller hears silence while being transferred.

A system prompt indicates that callers hear silence while the system tries to locate their party. This prompt explains to callers why all of a sudden they hear silence for an extended period of time before connecting to the Remote Extension. This prompt cannot be disabled.

If you have two or more units on a LAN, we recommend that you load a .wav file to the system of units. If you use an external music source, supply a music source to each TalkSwitch unit. 1/8" audio splitters are available at most electronics stores.
