This section provides information about how the Locally Sourced Announcements and Music feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of Locally Sourced Announcements and Music in any feature configuration.
Automatic Server Failover Feature
The operation of local audio and music-on-hold sources might not work as intended in cases where the primary server migrates to a backup server. This interruption occurs because the audio sources might be unavailable from the backup server due to physical fragmentation of the network. However, the best available local audio source is still chosen by the backup server.
Multi-Location Dial Plan (MLDP)
Under the Locally Sourced Announcements and Music feature, an audio source is selected based on where the source is located with respect to the user’s location. However, under the MLDP feature, the audio source to be used is predefined and based only on the location of the call’s ingress point. Also unlike the locally sourced music-on-hold, the MLDP feature does not support music files.
