EX-12
REMOTE Updatable MOH MP3 Player
The system consist of two basic parts:
1- The EX-12 MP3 Player
2- A Windows based Computer that is connected to the internet, and is running the “EX-12
Manager” Software.
How Updates are Made:
To UPDATE the existing audio production, the DEALER simply emails a new MP3 audio production, as
an attachment, to the customer’s EX-12 email account. The “EX-12 Manger” software automatically
checks for new emails every 5 minutes. When “EX-12 Manager” detects the presence of a properly
formatted UPDATE email, it automatically downloads the attachment onto the computer. It then waits
until 3AM to make the UPDATE. It first erases the old productions, then transfers the new Audio
Production(s) to the EX-12. After the “EX-12 Manager” software has successfully transferred the new
audio production, it sends the DEALER a confirmation email showing that the UPDATE has been
completed. The UPDATE transfer is done at 3AM, due to the fact that the EX-12’s audio output is halted
during the transfer process. Updating at 3AM insures that there will not be any interruptions in
Promotion-On-Hold during normal working hours. A large 10 meg file could take up to 16 minutes to
TRANSFER . We have found that most MOH MP3 files are about 6 Mbytes, which takes about 9 and a
half minutes to download.
If the DEALER needs an immediate UPDATE, it can be forced to transfer immediately by placing the
word “-NOW-” anywhere on the subject line of the email. For security purposes, all UPDATE emails
require a DEALER assigned 4 digit security access code. This prevents unauthorized Production Updates.
