Creating and Installing a Message on Hold File

 

Xcelerator IP 07005 

 

 

This Application Note addresses the process for creating and installing the Message on Hold 
file for Xcelerator IP. 
 
All audio files on Xcelerator IP are saved and run as Dialogic .vox format files. Any files that 
are changed in Xcelerator IP must be saved first as a .vox formatted file before you attempt 
to upload the file to the ftp server within the system. The files will not play properly if they are 
not in the .vox format.

 

 

There are two steps to converting and installing the Message on Hold files for Xcelerator IP. 
The first step is to identify and convert the file you will be using for Message on Hold. The 
second step will be loading the file to the ftp server on Xcelerator IP. 
 

Converting your audio file to the Message on Hold file  

 
To convert files to .vox, you will need a conversion tool that allows you to convert mp3, wav, 
or other audio file formats to the Dialogic .vox format. 
 
We have used a program called Goldwave (http://www.goldwave.com) with Xcelerator IP 
testing. There are other programs available for your consideration; however, for the purposes 
of this Application Note, we will use Goldwave as the conversion tool. 
 
Step 1: Launch the Goldwave application. This is the main screen from where you will load 
and convert your Message on Hold file.
