Using a PC as a MOH system 1

[tapicomms]

I want to use a pc as a music on hold source, can someone tell me the pinout to make the cable from the 2.5mm jack for the pc to the rj45 plug to go to the MOH port

I would try pins 4 and 5

Yes, pins 4,5 work for us. (we're using the "headphone" jack on the PC as our input to the switch MOH port. By the way, we used to burn through a CD player about every 6 months for MOH (yes we have legal CDs). Finally got smart and ripped the CD's to a flash drive and just play them on an old PC using Windows Media Player in a continuous loop. This is MOH with "no moving parts." Works great.

We just use a cheap MP3 player. much smaller no windows OS, no Hard Drive.

You can also record music to a VAL card. The VAL has pretty good up time compared to a windows box or even an MP3 player if you have some space available.
