Gate-and-Way
messages in your power !

GWCP Voice tab

 

In this tab you can configure your autoresponder to incoming voice calls and you can create your modem-specific messages.

In the Now frame you can see the actual status of the autoresponder. Of course it makes sense only if you set the Status frame to AUTO

If the autoresponder is ON, when an incoming voice call arrives, Gate-and-Way will wait for a few Rings, then will play a Message File, choosing the correct one in the grid depending on the current time.

When you change the Status, the grid, or the number of Rings, you have to click on the Save button to have your changes applyed.

 

How to create a Message File

Under the modem's status box you have a few controls to create your modem-specific messages.

First of all you have to record a .wav message file. You can do it using a Windows PC and a microphone, then save it in the Voice shared folder of your Gate-and-Way server

Now your .wav file must be converted in a format your voice modem can independently play (formerly called rmd).
To do so you have to choose you Modem's voice chipset, the Samples rate and the number of Bits.

If you don't know which voice chipset is installed into your modem, you can see in the status box which one is detected by Gate-and-Way, then clicking on the ? button you will see which other parameters are supported by that chipset.

Once you have chosen the .wav Message File to convert, click on the Create rmd button to obtain a file.modem_type.rmd. For example, the pc.wav file, with a MT_5634 voice modem will generate a file called: pc.wav.MT_5634.rmd.

You can now insert this file name in the grid, in the desired position.
Please note that the case is significant, so pc.wav.MT_5634.rmd is different from pc.wav.mt_5634.rmd

All done, you can now dial your telephone number and listen for your modem playing your message.
