Introduction
The Cisco Audio Message Utility is an interactive GUI that enables you to record and replace messages and upload new messages to the call routing mechanisms in Cisco devices.
Each Cisco device has a built-in set of audio messages. The default messages are in English. The Cisco Audio Message Utility allows you to record new messages in a different language or with different content to suit your requirements. The Cisco Audio Message Utility also enables you to replace and upload new messages to the target Cisco device.
There are two ways of using the Cisco Audio Message Utility. The standard utility functions enable you to play, record or replace messages. The Express Setup guides you through the recording, replacing and upload procedure for each of the voice messages.
Before You Begin
Before you can record, play and upload messages to the target Cisco device, you must
•Save recorded messages as WAV files.
•Know the IP address of the target device.
Launching the Utility
This section describes how to install and launch the Cisco Audio Message Utility.
Procedure
Step 1 Download the Setup.exe file from the distribution CD.
Step 2 Launch the utility from the Start menu by selecting Programs and clicking Audio Message Utility.
Playing a Message
This section describes how to play an audio message. Available messages depend upon the device selected in the Target Type field.
Note The devices available in the Target Type drop-down list vary according to the Cisco devices included in your installation.
