6.3 Generating Your Own MoH Files
The file format for non-resident Music on Hold is *.wav. If you have a Windows
operating system, you can use the “Sound Recorder” program to generate your
own MoH file. This program is usually located in the Windows directory called
“Multimedia”.
The MoH file must be coded with 8000 Hz, 8 bit mono in accordance with CCITT, A-
Law. This coding is required for the Aastra 800 and can be set in the “Sound
Recorder” when you save the file under Format (CCITT, A-Law) and Attributes
(8000 Hz, 8 bit mono). The maximum allowable size for a MoH file is 640 KB
(approx. 80 sec. play time). If a larger file is loaded then this will be “truncated” and
thereby will also only be played for 80 seconds. The MoH capacity can be subdi-
vided in a maximum of 5 files. These files can be used for different companies or
for internal and external calls.
Note: If you don't have the Sound Recorder program or the
appropriate codec on your Windows operating system, you
should install these components from your Windows CD.
Load your MoH file in the Web console's Configurator, in the System: Compo-
nents menu.
Note: When generating your own MoH file, you may incur a
fee for the use of non-resident melodies (e.g. a GEMA fee in
Germany or MCPS fee in the UK). The MoH files that come
with your Aastra 800 can be used free of charge.
