Overview
VOSS Automate allows an administrator to manage Music On Hold (MOH) servers and files from within the Admin Portal, and to upload MOH files to Cisco Unified CM (CUCM).
To access the flowcharts, view the topic via Documentation and Resources at: https://voss.portalshape.com
Managing MOH files involves:
Note
Deleting a .wav file from VOSS Automate does not remove the file from CUCM MOH clusters.
A MOH file you're adding is uploaded to the VOSS Automate database, and if you selected a MOH cluster, the file is also added to the MOH cluster (to the publisher, and to any subscriber servers flagged as music servers). A data sync is triggered to add the files to CUCM, and any MOH files on CUCM are imported to VOSS Automate in the sync. These MOH files are available for selection when adding or managing MOH audio source files.
Call Managers (CUCM), MOH Files, NDLs, and Upgrading VOSS Automate
When uploading MOH files at site level, the CUCM MOH cluster is automatically selected based on the site Network Device List (NDL).
Since data syncs export and import MOH files between VOSS Automate and CUCM, when upgrading from a previous version of VOSS Automate, a workflow creates a new data sync entry for each of the existing call managers, and adds the call managers to the correct NDLs.
To view data sync entries, go to (default menus) Administration Tools > Data Sync. Data sync entries are prefixed with the name of the API (CMCCS - Call Manager Control Center Services)

Add a CUCM MOH Cluster
This procedure adds a CUCM MOH cluster.
Note
MOH files are uploaded to the CUCM MOH cluster.
Log in to the Admin Portal.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > CUCM Music On Hold > Manage MOH Clusters.
On the Manage MOH Clusters list view, click Add to open Manage MOH Clusters/New Record.
Fill out details for the new MOH cluster:
Cluster Name | Add a name for the CUCM MOH cluster. You can use the same name as the CUCM cluster, or a unique name. |
Publisher Server Name | Choose a CUCM publisher server from the list of available CUCM publisher servers at the hierarchy. |
Publisher Hostname or IP Address | This field is auto-populated once you choose a publisher server name. The value must match the SERVICE_PROVIDER_SPACE hostname or IPv4 address of the CUCM publisher server. Note By default, the port used to connect to the publisher is 443. |
Publisher username | Specify the username of a user with administrative access to the CUCM server GUI. |
Publisher Password | Specify the password of the publisher username. |
CUCM Subscriber Details | Click the Plus icon (+) to add CUCM subscriber servers (one or more), and specify details for each subscriber server you're adding. These CUCM subscriber servers are part of the CUCM cluster. For each server you add, you will need to provide the following details:

Save your changes to add the CUCM MOH cluster.
View MOH Files
This procedure displays the list of files that exist on the Call Manager Publisher.
Note
Files uploaded to MOH clusters in VOSS Automate are imported to the database. An automatic sync is created for each of the CUCM (Call Manager Control Center Services MOHFile model sync, or CMCCS sync) so that you can run a manual data sync to update the list of files on this page.
If you're upgrading to v21.2, you can immediately execute this data sync to import the files; else, they will be automatically imported automatically the next time you upload a new file to the CUCM.
The menu for the MOH list view functionality is added to the default menus and access profiles for the following admin roles: Provider, Reseller, Customer
To view the list of MOH files:
Log in to the Admin Portal as a Provider, Customer, or Reseller admin.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > List MOH Audio Files.
In the list view, you can:
Note
WAV files are stored in the database as XML files.
Upload a Single MOH File
This procedure uploads a .wav MOH file to the VOSS Automate database, and optionally also to a CUCM MOH cluster.
Note
You can upload the MOH file to the relevant CUCM at the same time as you add it to VOSS Automate, or after you've added the file to VOSS Automate.
When files are uploaded to a CUCM MOH cluster, files are uploaded to the publisher server, as well as to CUCM subscriber servers that have the Is Music Server setting enabled.
To upload a MOH file:
Log in to the Admin Portal.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > CUCM Music On Hold > Manage Files and Upload to MOH Cluster.
In the list view, click the Plus icon (+) to open the Manage Files And Upload to MOH Cluster / New Record page.
Click Choose to locate the .wav file from your filesystem.
Note
Optionally, add a description for the file.
Optionally, at CUCM MOH Cluster, choose the relevant CUCM MOH cluster.
Note
Save your changes.
Upload Multiple MOH Files
This procedure uploads two or more MOH files to CUCM MOH clusters.
Log in to the Admin Portal.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > CUCM Music On Hold > Upload Multiple Files to MOH Clusters.
On the Upload Multiple Files to MOH Clusters page:
Note
Use the right and left arrows to move your choices to the relevant sides of the transfer boxes. Use the up and down arrows to re-position items in the transfer boxes.
Save your changes.
Add a MOH Audio Source
This procedure adds a MOH audio source instance, once MOH files have been added to CUCM.
Note
A MOH audio source instance is required in order to make use of the MOH files that have been uploaded to CUCM MOH clusters.
To add a MOH audio source:
Log in to the Admin Portal.
Go to (default menus) Apps Management > CUCM Music On Hold > Add MOH Audio Source to open the Add MOH Audio Source page.
At CUCM MOH Cluster, choose a CUCM MOH cluster where the audio source will be added.
At MOH Audio Source Name, provide a unique, descriptive name for the MOH audio source.
Note
The MOH audio source name and the MOH audio file may be modified once you're created the MOH audio source.
At MOH Audio Stream Number, choose an available audio stream number.
Note
At MOH Audio Source File, choose the MOH file previously uploaded to the CUCM MOH cluster.
Save your changes.
Once you've added the first MOH audio source, VOSS Automate triggers a sync from CUCM to fetch all MOH audio sources. When you add a new MOH audio source, the workflow sync adds the new file to CUCM.
MOH audio source files you add in VOSS Automate may be viewed, updated, or deleted via (default menus) Apps Management > CUCM Music On Hold > Manage MOH Audio Source.
Manage MOH Audio Sources
This procedure allows you to view and manage existing MOH audio sources.
Note
MOH audio sources you've added to the system are used for:
