The channels on even standard specification musiphone® THE NEXT LEVEL systems can be switched to the so-called HIC function. In this function, the channels can be called via the PABX system’s analogue ports and will then continually play out the information provided until the caller hangs up again. The relevant channel on the musiphone® unit then also becomes immediately free again for the next call. With the NEXT LEVEL ADVANCED unit, the system can be built up step-by-step to 16 ports, enabling up to 16 callers to listen to the information simultaneously and independently of each other.
Information to be played out is stored within the NEXT LEVEL system. There is a 4-minute internal memory to do this, which can be extended to several hours via an additional SMC card. Speech can be recorded onto the unit in a variety of different ways: As WAV files by PC via fast USB or LAN transfer (LAN only with NEXT LEVEL ADVANCED); by simply calling the unit from any telephone and verbally leaving a message on the system; by remote import as a service from the BEYERTONE studio; or fully automatically and time-controlled via the Internet using the integrated musiw@b® download facility. The produced audio is stored on the BEYERTONE musiw@b® server and any number of musiphone® systems are able to access this reserved area of the server via remote data transfer connection from anywhere in the world!
As an alternative to storing information on the NEXT LEVEL system, this can also be fed in as a live audio signal in real-time via the standard specification external audio input. This audio input can be connected, for example, to the line output of a radio or satellite receiver. Alternatively, it could also be connected to the sound output from a PC. At a central point in the system, this PC could then be used, for example, to receive an Internet audio stream or, using appropriate software, to generate a continuous speaking clock service.
Additional tip:

Any audio signal stored or fed in live for information distribution can also be delivered in parallel at any time into the telephone equipment’s call-waiting system as the music-on-hold feed.
