Avaya Classic Magic on Hold (407988500) is a digital message-on-hold system designed to play a prerecorded announcement over the message-on-hold bus of compatible telephone systems. Unlike traditional tape-based message systems, the Classic Magic on Hold uses solid-state digital audio storage to provide consistent playback without the tape wear and mechanical maintenance associated with older message-on-hold equipment.
Avaya Classic Magic on Hold (407988500) Features
The Avaya Classic Magic on Hold system uses Message Mate digital audio cards for convenient prerecorded message playback. Once a compatible card is inserted, playback begins automatically, allowing the message-on-hold program to operate without an internal recording process. The unit itself does not provide internal recording capability, so programming is supplied through the digital audio card.
