ScopTEL Prompt Management

Module 10 - ScopTEL IP PBX Software - Prompt Management

Prompt Management


Many telephony applications will require you to create audio prompts to be used for playback.


Caveats


Playback of WAV/wav source file with Microsoft encoded output is not supported by Asterisk using Microsoft or Asterisk conversion tools.

The recommended conversion method is:

Using Switch Sound File Converter available from http://www.nch.com.au/components/switchsetup.exe

Set output format to .wav and set encoder options to

16 bit format, sample rate 8 kHz, mono


Upload the file(s) to the required /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ directory or sub directory after conversion.


IVR Prompts Manager


This tool allows you to add numbered prompts which can be used in multiple destinations.
The Sound Manager automatically assigns a prompt number if you choose type IVR from the drop list selector.

Example:

Choose Type IVR

Give the IVR prompt a useful name

Give the IVR prompt a password to prevent unauthorized users from erasing or re-recording the prompt

Click Add when done and click Commit before attempting to record the prompt.




Recording an IVR prompt Using the Phrase Management Features Code


To record a prompt using this method you must first use the IVRP Prompts Manager to create a numbered IVR Prompt.

From a registered extension with a Class of Service that allows the Phrase Management feature code

Dial the Phrase Management feature code (default *55)

When prompted enter the prompt number followed by #

If the prompt is password protected enter the password at the password prompt and press #

Press 1 to record the prompt at the beep and press # to stop recording but do not hang up

Press 2 to review the prompt

After pressing 2 to review a prompt press 1 to re-record the prompt as many times as needed

Hang up to save the recording.



Sound Manager|Upload File






Using the  File Manager to Upload Audio/Custom Prompts after you have converted the sound files to a supported CODEC.
