What do I need to do to have Music On Hold be heard?

•  Connect a MOH music source using a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo post connector.  Recommended cable has separate red/white RCA connectors on the opposite end.

•  Attach the red lead to the music source.

•  No administration is required on the PBX

 

How do I prevent MOH from being played when I place a call on hold?

Administratively disable “Provide Hold Music” parameter on the Handset page.

 

With “Provide Hold Music” disabled on a handset, held calls still hear music. Why?

•  The handset must be rebooted after a change is made to the “Provide Hold Music” parameter.

•  The call is being Parked instead of held; the “Provide Hold Music” parameter only affects calls that are privately held on one's phone.
