The preferred volume level can be adjusted by listening to the stream, or by examining the RTP trace captured from the SIP call leg of the call. Use the receive gain settings on the FXS port to make any additional fine-tuning volume adjustments.

1. From the Music on Hold drop down list (via applicable SIP Signaling group) select Enables for 2-Way Hold only or Always Enabled.
2. Click Apply.

Note
icon false title Note:
If your system does not have transcoding licenses, be sure your MOH file is encoded in the same Law as your calls use. For instance, if you're using A-Law for your calls, be sure to use an A-law encoded MOH file. If your system has transcoding licenses, then the system will automatically transcode between different types of codec compressions.

Info
Under certain conditions, after multiple, consecutive attended transfers, Music On Hold will not be heard on the SIP phone when the call is put on hold.
