UC320 Music-on-Hold ... details... ?

1) What's the real media format the UC320 expects for internal MOH files? Knowing means we can prep the file beforehand or give info to services that provide professional recordings to customers, and minimizes conversion loss or distortion. ... if it's uLaw, wav, 8 bit mono, etc... it makes it clearer for the producer.
2) Also, is there a way to extend the internal MOH playing time beyond 1 minute?   We have a new customer (dental practice) that often has 3-5 minute hold times and uses a service with their old system that loops at 3 minutes giving dental facts and special offers. They tell us 1 minute is not enough.
We havent used external input, which I assume would be "whatever's playing" ... but the customer wants to keep this clean and no added parts or iPods sourcing the MOH file.
Thoughts?

Music on Hold and Call Transfer

Got a weird issue that popped up recently. When a user places a call on hold and then transfers the call to another Lync user, the caller will hear the ring back transfer tone but also hear the music on hold playing in the background. This just started recently
after a reboot of the front end. Anyone have any ideas on what can be causing this. Below is some information that can be helpful. Thanks.
-Trunk is configured with no refer support since our SIP provider's gateway does not support it.
-Music on hold is set globally for all users with a user policy. The music on hold file is the default Lync .wav file.
-This happens with calls coming in from the PSTN, internal Lync calls that are transferred to other Lync users, and calls that come into an RGS and are transferred.

Hi,
Please update to the latest version for Lync server 2013 and Lync client 2013 on Microsoft Website and then try again:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lync/dn146015
Please also try to disable Music on hold, then able Music on hold again and test again.
If the issue persists, you can use the Lync server logging tool to test the process of call transfer.
If Lync server 2013 not have Lync server logging tool, you can download Logging debugging tool in link below for troubleshooting.

Is there in easy way for end-users to regularly update the music-on-hold audio file (.wav) - without having to learn or install CCA?

I want to give client the ability to change the MOH file themselves - they want to create a new announcement audio each week. They're not going to be comfortable using CCA. I was hoping to let them use FTP (from a PC Desktop) to replace the MOH file in Flash with updated .au file. Is this possible?
If not, what's the Easiest end-user method to have them place the new MOH file into the UC560?
Thanks in advance!
Sam

Hello Sam,
There is an audio port on the front of the UC560. What my clients have done is develop their MOH announcements with associated background music and upload it to an iPod or MP3 player. We plug the audio cable from the iPod into the MoH port and configure the MoH port via CCA 3.2(3). Select the Configuration - Telephony - Voice Features-Music on Hold and select to enable the external MoH port.
As your client wants to add or change the announcements, they just need to play the track and loop it.
Hope this helps.

After F110 run in the payment file the account holder details are missed

Hai
After running the F110 pament run, In the payment file the ACCOUNT HOLDER name is missing . The ACCOUNT HOLDER details must picked up from VENDOR MASTER. This is happening when ACCOUNT HOLDER and VENDOR are different. When ACCOUNT HOLDER and VENDOR are same it is displaying Correctly.The Bottom line is when VENDOR=ACCOUNT HOLDER, in the payment file it is displaying the VENDOR name correctly. But When VENDOR is not= ACCOUNT HOLDER, in the Payment file ACCOUNT HOLDER name is blanked out. The bank requires the name in that field in the payment file.
Kindly Assist me
Thanks in advance

Music on Hold working correctly on incoming line on hold, but not working on another, hearing Tone on Hold instead

Hello, we are experiencing an issue where we have a local main number and a toll-free number both coming into the Cisco switch as PSTN incoming and routed to the same voice translation rule line. Two weeks ago we updated the Music on Hold (MOH) file in flash, first disabling the previous file. The new file appears exactly the same as the previous file, and we successfully set it through the CUCME portal. The new MOH file is playing correctly when a incoming user is put on hold when dialed in through the local main number. However, when a user has dialed in through our toll free number they are instead hearing a Tone on Hold beeping tone (I googled that multiple times to realize what it was we are hearing). Anyone have any ideas as to why or how it could be working on one incoming line but not the other and how to resolve?

Not sure how the Express works but on the CuCM you need to go into the administration pages and change the MoH file number there. I had this issue a few years back and changed the information there. I also made sure the router was setup correctly with the incoming lines. Make sure that the 800 number is not coming in on (1) T1 and the local numbers on a different T1, if you are using T's. If not make sure you WIC card is set correct for hold music.

Default Music on Hold on 64 bit Lync 15.0.4551.1005

Hi all,
I've noticed something strange on one of my deployments when it comes to music on hold, both on the Lync desktop client (15.0.4551.1005 64bit) and the Polycom CX600 hardphone.
I set the global csclientpolicy to enableclientmusiconhold 1 and left the musiconholdaudiofile as "", which is the recommended course of action when using the CX600s to enable music on hold. The CX600 works perfectly, but the Lync client does not.
The Lync client shows the correct file in the ringtones and sounds menu, and the file exists, but music on hold will not play when a caller is placed on hold. Callers hear the initial hold ding, and then silence.
It appears that the Lync client will ignore the enableclientmusiconhold when it is being assigned by the global csclientpolicy. Creating a new csclientpolicy with enableclientmusiconhold 1 and musiconholdaudiofile "" will allow music on hold to
function correctly on both the Lync client and the CX600.
Does anyone else have the 64bit client installed who can verify this is the case and I'm not imagining things? And if so, should I log it with Microsoft as a potential bug?
Cheers,
Leigh.

Please run the command Get-CsClientPolicy to check the parameter EnableClientMusicOnHold is set to true.

Thanks first, will vote 5* if you can help

Hi HD,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Here is some additional information;
Music On Hold
From this good doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803f3a9f.html#wp59089
You may install the Cisco CallManager Music On Hold Disk that **ships with your Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server, or you may download one of two following files via the web:
ciscocm-MusicOnHold, which is a set of wav files providing the entire music selection from the disk
ciscocm-MusicOnHoldSampler, which is a small set of files offering a sample of music available on the disk
** I just looked and these files can be found at the attached link with CCO Login (Right down towards the bottom of the page)**
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/callmgr-33
As far as your last question, maybe you are looking for the setting "Auto Available" for Agents. Check out Chapter 17- Page 15;

Multicast IP address keep changing on music on hold

Hi
I am trying to set up multicast for music on hold on the cucm 9.
on the cucm, I enable multicast audio sources on MOH server, using base IP 239.1.1.1, and set increment multicast on " ip address"
however the multicast IP address keep changing, sometimes its 239.1.1.1, then after a while it suddenly change to 239.1.1.2 etc..
here is the config on our srst router ( which specify the multicast ip is 239.1.1.1):
is there any way that the multicast ip do not keep changing as its affecting the MOH at the moment.

Hi Rachel,
If the Increment Multicast on radio button is set to IP address, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to different IP addresses but uses the same port number. If it is set to Port Number, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to the same IP address but uses different destination port numbers.

Music on Hold: Best Practice and site assignment

Hi guys,
I have a client with multiple sites, a large number of remote workers (on and off domain) and Lync Phone Edition devices.
We want to deploy a custom music on hold file. What's the best way of doing this? I'm thinking
Placing the file on a share on one of the Lync servers. However this would mean (I assume) that clients will always try to contact the UNC path every time a call is placed on hold, which would result in site B connecting to site A for it's MoH file. This
is very inefficient and adds delay onto placing a call on hold. If accessing the file from a central share is best practice, how could I do this per site? Site policies I've tried haven't worked very well. For example, if a file is on
\\serverB\MoH\file.wma for a site called "London Site" what commands do I need to run to create a policy that will force clients located at a site to use that UNC path? Also, how do client know what site
they are in?
Alternatively, I was thinking of pushing out the WMA file to local devices via a Group Policy, and then setting Lync globally to point to %systemdrive%\MoH\file.wma. Again, how do I go about doing this? Also, what would happen to LPE devices that wouldn't
have the file (as they wouldn't get the GPO)?
Any help with this would be appreciated. Particularly around how users are assigned to sites, and the syntax used to create a site policy for the first option. Any best practice guidance would be great!
Thanks - Steve

Hi StevehootMITS,
If Lync Phone Edition or other device that doesn’t provide endpoint MOH, you can use PSTN Gateways to provide music on hold. For more information about Music On Hold, you can check

Extract a Music on Hold File

I have taken over a position in a company that has a Cisco Call Manager.
I know basic administration, but am not familiar with the rest of the system.
We have Call Manager 6.0.1.2000-3
The company has a need to change the Music on Hold and the Marketing Dept. has asked for an electronic copy of the file so they can work with an outside company to produce a new recording.
Via a web browser in Cisco Unified CM Administratior I went to "Media Resources" > "Music On Hold Audio Source"
I see information listing it as stream Number 2, but It I have no idea how to say extract it as a wav file.
Is there a place I can go and see the file to copy to my local PC.

You'll have to do this from the command line. The following post contains a document outlining the steps to download the file.

Music on hold stops in forwarded call

Hi,
We receive Lync 2013 calls into Anywhere 365, a workflow where we can pick up incoming calls. So an outside user calls, and we pick up the call on an agent, let's say Lync1. Before transferring the call to Lync2, the call will be placed
on Hold, and the uotside caller hears MusiconHold. Now when we have transferred the call, and the Lync1 has left the call. Lync3 and Outside are connected. When Lync3 places the call on Hold, the oustide caller hears nothing.
We have tried it in other ways like calling directly from outside caller to Lync3 and tha works Ok. Also Lync to Lync internal works fine.
We tried with Lync to Lync external. So an external Lync calls the same Lync1 user. When Lync1 places the call on Hold, the Lync1 screen says "Call on Hold" But the External Lync does not give any sign of being on Hold.
Does anybody recognize this?

Can you reproduce this first issue with other Lync users?
Please run Lync Logging Tool to collect the log information on Mediation Sever.
When you tried with Lync to Lync external, did you mean you make a Lync call between internal Lync user and external Lync user?
These users should be Enterprise Voice enabled.
There is no music on hold option if the Lync user is not an Enterprise Voice user so if a non EV user puts someone on hold there will not be MOH.

Music on hold issue

Hi everyone,
I am working on a voip class project. I configure the Music on Hold for branch and HQ phones.
When I call from " A" HQ phone to "B" HQ phone and put the call on hold, "B" can hear the music.
When I call from branch phone to HQ phone and put the call on hold, HQ phone can hear the music.
But When I call from "A"branch phone to "B" phone and put the call on hold, the "B" branch phone cannot hear the music. It just goes to silent.
Also when i call from "A" HQ phone to "B" branch phone and put the call on hold, the "B" branch phone cannot hear the music.
I dont know why Branch office phones cannot hear Music. It only seems to be working in HQ phones.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is some better info on the interoperability portal

In particular this doc talks about that problem and other caveats / resolutions.

I am only assuming you are doing a SIP integration but the portal covers several other types of integrations to Avaya.

Music On Hold on working on a cluster

Hi Everyone,
                  We recently added a Subscriber in a cluster and the subscriber is in a remote location. All the operations are working as usual except for Music on Hold feature.
     If the remote phone registered to the remote subscriber places the call on Hold, the music would not be heard instead there is a silence. Kindy let usk now if at all there are any configurations to be made in the PBX.
     Call Manager versions - 7.1.3 ..
     Conf and Transcoder resource - Cisco 2951 Router.

Have you uploaded the MOH files to ALL the MOH servers??
In windows version they would replicate but in Linux you manually need to upload them
