Configure Prompts for an Extension

This topic describes how to customize audio prompts, such as Music on Hold and ringback tone, for individual extension.

Customize Music on Hold for extension

By default, extensions' music on hold follows the system's global prompt settings (set on PBX Settings > Voice Prompt > Prompt Preferences > Music on Hold / Music on Hold for Call Forwarding). You can customize music on hold for a specific extension to provide a more personalized experience. This includes customizing the music played when the extension user places a call on hold, as well as when a call is forwarded to another destination.

Requirements
The firmware version of PBX server is 37.15.0.22 or later.
Prerequisites
You have prepared and uploaded music for the following scenarios:
  • Music on Hold: The music played to the other party when the extension user holds a call.
  • Music on Hold for Call Forwarding: The music played to the caller when the call is forwarded to another destination.
Procedure
  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Extension and Trunk > Extension.
  2. Click beside the desired extension, then go to Features > Prompt.
  3. In the drop-down list of the music on hold settings, select the desired audio prompt that you have uploaded.

  4. Click Save and Apply.

Configure ringback tone for extension

You can set a custom ringback tone for an extension, which is played to the caller before the extension user answers the call.

Requirements
The firmware version of PBX server is 37.23.0.23 or later.
Procedure
  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Extension and Trunk > Extension.
  2. Click beside the desired extension, then go to Features > Prompt.
  3. In the Ringback Tone drop-down list, select the desired prompt.
    Note:
    • The available prompts are synchronized from PBX Settings > Voice Prompt > Custom Prompt.
    • If you can not find the desired prompt in the list, you can click Record New / Upload / Text-to-Speech to create a new one. The newly added prompt will also be synchronized to PBX Settings > Voice Prompt > Custom Prompt.

  4. Click Save and Apply.
