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 |
