MOH for IP workpoint clients  
For this feature, MOH channels (= number of MOH data streams for IP workpoint clients) of the HG 1500 boards will be provided. For load limitation, the maximum number of possible MOH data streams per HG 1500 board is limited to 10 (i.e., max. 10 IP workpoint clients can simultaneously listen to MOH).  
HiPath Xpressions Compact-based announcements for HiPath 33xx, 35xx and 38xx
As of HiPath 3000 Version 5.0, HiPath Xpressions Compact supports announcements for UCD and announcement before answering.
An Xpressions Compact-based announcement replaces music on hold (MOH) in certain situations such as during hold or while a station is busy or being transferred. Up to 32 stations can be connected in parallel to the HiPath Xpressions Compact-based announcement.
Xpressions Compact supports announcements in order of arrival (announcements are played once completely) and continuous announcements (Music On Hold).
HiPath Xpressions Compact-based announcements are configured according to port. The announcement ports are licensed separately. The announcement ports are no longer available for voicemail operation and should be removed from the voicemail port hunt group.
Each announcement port features an announcement mailbox. Callers who are transferred to an announcement port hear the first greeting of an announcement mailbox.
The first greeting of an announcement mailbox can be easily customized via HiPath 3000 Manager E/C. The music or announcements to be played should be available in PCM WAV format, 8kHz, 16 bit, mono.
The announcement function of an available HiPath Xpressions Compact board can be remotely configured.
The general model-specific data also applies to HiPath Xpressions Compact-based announcements (see above).
