Timed Signalling and Messaging
From Zenitel Wiki
Dispatch a prerecorded message at a preset time |
The built-in Scheduler function in ICX-AlphaCom can be used to dispatch prerecorded messages or time signals at preset times and preset days.
Typical applications:
- Timed signaling at schools
- Alert message before closing time at libraries and shopping malls
- Information messages at airports and train stations
Configuration
Upload WAV file to the ICX-AlphaCom server
Configure the Scheduler event
The Scheduler feature is a part of the Event Handler module in ICX-AlphaCom.
In AlphaPro, select Exchange & System > Events, and Insert a new event. Set the Owner Type = Scheduler. A new window is opened, in which you fill in the weekdays and time, or alternatively the date and time.
Setting time and weekdays. Here: trigger at 16:45 Monday to Friday. |
Next step is to fill in the Action Command. For distribution of prerecorded wav-file we normally use the DP Command $GM (GROUP_MSG).
Specify which message to send to which group |
