Updating Your SwitchVox Sounds
Warning : Not Recommended unless you are comfortable with Linux
NOTE : Switchvox recommend you update each sound via the web interface of the Switchvox PBX. Below are some instructions on how to update all the sounds in one go. Please note, this information is supplied without warranty and should only be completed by suitably qualified professionals.
In General, we need to boot into Single user mode, start the network service, backup the sound files, download and extract the Australian sound prompts. This example is for the Australian Free soundset, a complete set is also available including around 1800 Australian prompts.
1. Boot into Single user mode.
As your switchvox is booting (just after you have turned it on) press the [space bar] when you see the GNU GRUB boot screen. The countdown timer should stop.
Press a to add a kernal argument.
it should say something similar to : grub append > ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
Add a space and the word single to the end so it should look similar to
grub append > ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 single
Now press enter. The system should boot and display a prompt like sh-3.1.
2. Start the network service.
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : service network start [enter].
It should say Bringing up loopback interface [OK] Bringing up interface eth0 [OK]
3. Change to a working directory.
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : cd /usr/src [enter]
It should just display the prompt again.
4. Backup the current sounds.
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : tar cvfz backupsounds.tar.gz /var/lib/asterisk/sounds-allison/ [enter]
You should see a list of files as they are backed up.
5. Download the new sounds
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : wget http://voicestudio.com.au/ausounds.tar.gz [enter]
You will see a progress status bar as the file is downloaded.
6. Extract the new sounds.
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : tar -zxvf ausounds.tar.gz -C /var/lib/asterisk/sounds-allison/ [enter]
You should see the sounds displayed as they are extracted.
7. Reboot
At the prompt sh-3.1# type : reboot [enter]
The system should reboot and the Australian sounds are now installed. Well done!
