Kx t7436 Background music

If you're reading the programming instructions in order, keep going :-) I have no clue what SLT hold mode has to do with music on hold or background music, but when you get to 111-BGM-Music On Hold source, you can set it to external and you're in business.

All of your phones plug into a Panasonic Key Service Unit. The music source plugs into a port on the KSU. A TA series has 11 modular jacks on the main board and 2 1/8" jacks labeled EXT MUSIC and PAGING. Guess which one goes to the music source :-).

There will be a cable plugged into it and into the music source. That's where you change the messages or music.

Wow. If we told you, we'd have to kill you :-)

There's an easy way and a hard way to do it, and both require you to know the Installer password to the sytem. In the Maintenance Console, you need 2.2 BGM and Hold Music, or from the main phone, programs 710-712. 710 is the source for BGM which you change to EXTERNAL, 711 is the source for MOH which becomes BGM 1 (the only port on a 50) and 712 is the source for transfer calls (either ringback or MOH.)

If you don't have the magic password and instructions for getting into the system, you'll need to call your Pana installer for access.

You don't actually need the whole kit, just the BGM unit. I have these in stock, please email [email protected]

Since a TD system BGM is just a single press "1" on an idle phone to turn on or off, I'm hard pressed to understand what you mean about BGM being a key. If you press "1" on a display phone and it says BGM On, and it doesn't work, go back to wherever the system cabinet is and look for the BGM port on the side of the phone system. It probably means the source is turned off or disconnected.

Carl

Well, it depends. You can have 2 BGM sources on a TDA-100 or higher system. The system in the back room will have 2 MOH jacks and you can select the source from a phone. Since this is also the Music that the callers hear, there may be copywrite issues on playing commercial radio on hold. Most places actually use MOH 1 for a Promotion on hold, and MOH 2 for employee's BGM.

Hi,

i have the 1015 OMT Ipod edition. It works just how you say however mine has the BGM module. The ipod is plugged in as back ground music. The BGM module then swithes the input over to cd when someone selects a disk

HANG UP THE PHONE AND PRESS 1 THIS WILL STOP THE BACK GROUND MUSIC.
