Enhanced Music on Hold revisited - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

Rachelle · 10-22-2003, 09:35 AM

I know that this topic has come up several times. I have been digesting all of the posts and the software feature guide's simplified directions. I have more questions.

1) In an option 11C, only 2 cabinets, would it be safe to assume that I would only need one music trunk? Would I only pull a member from another route and rebuild it as a music route member? Then I would need to wire that TN to what?

2) In an option 81C, with 4 network groups my questions grow. If I have to have 2 conf loops per group I am currently covered. I think. I have at least two conf/tds cards in each group. Do I pull a member from one or both of these conf/tds cards and rebuild it as a music route member? Where does the Universal Trunk card come in to play? Then do I wire that TN to what?

3) In an option 61C, only one network group, I have the same questions as above.

I have pkgs 7, 44, 119 in all three system types. If one conf loop can provide 29 simultaneous listeners, does that mean with one member to this route 29 people will be able to access it at the same time? In the smaller locations this seems enough but what about in larger systems?

If anyone has experience in this type of engineering or would be willing to share your current method feel free to email me directly if posting is awkward. (rachelle.l.cassetta@census.gov).

I will thank all of you for your time and thoroughness in advance. I realize this is no small matter.

I did get some private messages on this issue and thank you so much for your detailed support. This isn't nearly as painful as the NTP had me believing it would be. I do have two follow up questions:

1) In the 81's, would I need multiple CD players or would daisy chaining the trunk TN's be acceptable?

2) If more than one Universal TN points to a single Conf loop, do these members need to be associated with different MUS routes? In the 11's and 61's it appears that only one TN will be needed. However, in the 81's I will assume that I will need more than one TN per Network Group. Is that a fair assumption? What has been the real world experience with that?

This is how my system is setup....I use Universal Trunk Cards

I have a 81C Network Goups 0, 1, and 2.
(7) columns and (2) remotes.

I have music being piped on a single pair from Music and Page (They have a cable DMX receiver).

That single pair is then punched down on a bunch block and ran to the
following Universal Trunk TN's:

DES MUSIC
TN 060 0 01 00 MBER 1 MUSIC_ON_HOLD
TN 092 1 00 04 MBER 2 MUSIC_ON_HOLD
TN 012 1 01 00 MBER 3 MUSIC_ON_HOLD

My Route Programming:

TYPE RDB
CUST 00
ROUT 44
DES MUSIC
TKTP MUS
ICOG OGT
SRCH LIN
STEP
ACOD 8044
TARG
CLEN 1
OABS
TIMR ICF 512
OGF 512
EOD 13952
DSI 34944
NRD 10112
DDL 70
ODT 4096
RGV 640
GRD 896
SFB 3
TFD 0
SST 5 0
NEDC ETH
FEDC ORG
HOLD 02 02 40
SEIZ 02 02
RGFL 02 02
CDR NO
MUS NO
TTBL 0
OHTD NO
ALRM NO
SGRP 0
AACR NO

Some recomendations:

Conference loops
The Conference loop is a part of the dual loop NT8D17 Conf/TDS
card. It can broadcast music from a source to a maximum of 30 users
simultaneously. One Conference loop is normally recommended for
each half network group or 14 traffic loops.

You can connect music trunks to NT8D14AA Universal Trunk Cards.

Set Type: to MUS (ic) when creating your Trunk Route.

Post back if you have any questions...
