Tools — Audio Messages

"Here you can control all the system's audio messages. You can preview, record, edit and upload audio messages."

Navigate to Tools > Audio Messages. A dropdown at the top ("Manage messages for user:") selects whose messages to manage (e.g. SYSTEM for shared messages, or a specific user for personal voicemail greetings).

Prerequisite — HTTPS required for browser recording. Recording a message directly from your browser microphone (the Record New tab below) only works when you access the Abilis web interface over HTTPS. Browsers block microphone access on plain HTTP connections. If you have not enabled HTTPS yet, do that first at Networking > Settings > HTTP (see Activate HTTPS) before using Record New. Uploading existing audio files, Edit, and Text-To-Speech work on either HTTP or HTTPS.

Manage Existing

Audio Messages — the list of existing audio files with play, download, and delete actions.
Audio Messages — the list of existing audio files with play, download, and delete actions.

View and manage audio messages already stored on the Abilis. Messages are organised by location:

LocationWhat It's For
VoiceMailMessages callers hear when reaching voicemail. You can set separate Welcome (OGM in the underlying CLI) and Goodbye (END) messages.
DISAAudio prompts for the auto-attendant (IVR). Each DISA service can have its own message.
MIXAudio messages for MIX services (conference rooms, announcement mixes). Each service can have its own message.
Music on holdWhat callers hear while waiting on hold.

To assign a message: select the location, choose Welcome or Goodbye, click the preview button to listen, then select the audio file. For VoiceMail, MIX, and Music on hold, you can also upload a new audio file directly (max 60 seconds, .wav or .mp3 format).

Underlying audio format. The Abilis stores audio as WAV — CCITT A-law (or µ-law), 8 kHz, 8-bit, Mono (per v9.0 reference manual ch73s13). The 9.1 GUI accepts MP3 and other WAV encodings and converts on upload, but if a file is rejected, convert it to that exact spec with an editor like Audacity (Export → WAV (Microsoft) — A-Law 8 kHz mono) and try again.

Record New

Record New — interface for recording a new audio message directly from the browser.
Record New — interface for recording a new audio message directly from the browser.

Record a message directly from your browser using your microphone.

  1. Click Start recording. (Your browser may ask for microphone permission — allow it.)
  2. Speak your message. A timer shows the recording duration. Use Pause/Resume if needed. Adjust volume with the slider at the bottom.
  3. Click Stop.
  4. A playback window appears for preview and editing.
  5. Enter a filename and click Save.
If your browser doesn't ask for microphone permission, you may have previously blocked it. Click the "View site information" icon (locked or ⓘ) to the left of the URL and enable microphone access. (Reminder: this only works over HTTPS — see the prerequisite at the top of the page.)
