Title: SAIL greetings
Post by: guest22 on May 20, 2010, 01:14:24 PM

Hi,

is there a way to use pre-recorded greetings vs recording on the fly?

What format do they have to be
Where are they located
How does Sail know what greeting number is what recording

Thanks,
guest

You can use pre-recorded greetings but you'll probably need to change the sample rate.  Asterisk sound files need to be 8k mono.

Read here

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+sound+files

Sound files are stored in ~/asterisk/sounds (this directory is either in /var/lib or /usr/share depending upon the Asterisk version.

Sail stores its greetings as ~/asterisk/sounds/usergreetingnnnn where nnnn is the greeting number.  If you save a pre-recorded sound file (of the correct format) as ~/asterisk/sounds/usergreetingnnnn then it will be accessible to you from Sail.

Kind Regards

S
