What is the difference between graceful and immediate shutdo

A graceful shutdown will wait for any currently active calls to finish before shutting down the platform. An immediate shutdown will abruptly terminate any active calls and bring the platform down as quickly as possible.

The number of rings before the platform answers only applies to analog systems. The administrator of the platform has access to the "Server Config" section of the Plum Voice Portal. In this section, there is an option to set the number of rings for the entire system. If the number of rings is set to...

How can the Plum Voice Platform be remotely monitored?

The Plum Voice Platform core maintains an internal monitoring function that operates on TCP port 7587. If you open a socket to this port, the core will return a string with status information before closing the socket.

Why can't I configure a port as DNIS '0'?

The Plum Voice Portal web interface is currently limited in that the administrator cannot configure a DNIS to '0'. Plum recommends using 4 or 5 digit DNIS values that match your current phone numbers sent to the system (i.e. 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). If you have set the DNIS to '0' you may notice som...

Why am I getting error messages about tags/elements that I k

There is more than likely an error (syntactical, runtime, or otherwise) in the scripting code used to generate your VoiceXML (PHP, ASP, Perl, etc.). Typically, messages for such errors are rendered in HTML by the scripting language's interpreter... and then plopped directly into your VoiceXML script...

How does file caching work?

When a file is requested from the proxy cache, the proxy cache first checks to see whether the file is currently stored locally. If so, it then checks when the local copy of the file is set to expire. If the local has not expired, it is immediately sent back to the platform. If the local copy has ex...

Why do my prompts sometimes stop playing in the middle?

There is one reason audio prompts will stop playing: user input. VoiceXML scripts that utilize speech recognition are susceptible to "speech bargein" (barge-in). In the code segment below (and across the platform in general), speech bargein is enabled by default. If the user says something or there ...

Why won't my .wav file play?

There are two primary reasons why a .wav file won't play properly. 1) The .wav file is encoded in an unsupported format. The event log file will report something similar to the entries below: Mon 09 Jun 2003 02:17:54 PM EDT (000000;002;1055182515) [prompt] ERROR: File: http://test.plumgroup.com/gsm....

What are "bridge" and "blind" transfer?

When the platform is directed to perform a "bridge" transfer, it first claims an unused channel and makes an outbound call to the number specified in the <transfer> tag. When the party being called picks up, the platform patches together the original inbound call and the newly established outbound c...

If you are using <record> to collect audio data, check the following: 1. RECORD: Verify that the audio is being recorded correctly. Before posting to your application server, you can preview the recorded audio by using the <value> tag in a prompt. e.g. <record name="name" beep="true"> <prompt> Say y...

How long can I record using the <record> tag?

The VoiceXML Platform software does not set a limit on record time. At some point you are likely to run into problems, most likely because the script or the application server receiving the binary data times out. We've tested <record> with audio of over 30 minutes. The Programmer's Reference Guide l...

In what format is audio saved by the <record> tag?

Audio is recorded as headerless 8 kHz 8 bit data, encoded as either u-law or a-law, depending on the Plum Voice Platform configuration setting. The default setting, which is used for Plum Voice Hosting, is u-law. Format conversions: If you need recorded audio to be accessible in other formats, a var...
