Q: How can I use the "Music on hold server" functionality?
A: "Music on hold (MOH)" refers to the audio you might want to play to callers while they are waiting after their call was placed on "hold". The MOH Server (can be configured Line/Identity X -> SIP Tab) is an application acting as SIP client which automatically answers to SIP INVITE messages and immediately plays audio from any source or format located anywhere (LAN, Internet). The same syntax as for SIP URIs is used:
Music on hold server: sipaccount@mohserver (e.g.
[email protected])
snom does NOT provide MOH Server applications and has got NO knowledge about currently accesible public MOH servers.
Music on Hold Server [user_moh[1-x] ]
Firmware Version:
Description: If you specify a SIP URI pointing to a media server account, the phone will, when a call is put on hold, invite this SIP URI to call the held phone to play music on hold.
Valid values: e.g. <sip:
[email protected]>, <mh>, <192.168.0.40>
Default value: blank
Note: SIP Address of music on hold server of that specific line. The music is automatically played if this line is on hold.
