Locally sourced music and announcements

Last Updated : Aug 07, 2015 |

Call centers can use any or all of their VAL announcement sources in the gateways as sources for the same announcement.

Note:

You refer to the Avaya Aura® Media Server-based announcement source by the letter M followed by its media-server number. For example, you must enter M5 when you are entering media-server 5 into the announcement form or the audio-group form.

Locally sourced music offers the following benefits:

  • Improves the quality of the audio.

  • Reduces resource usage, such as VoIP resources, by selecting the nearest available source when playing the announcement.

  • Provides backup for announcements because a working announcement source with the same announcement file is selected from the sources if the primary announcement source is not available.
