There are two kinds of acoustic signals which can be used with Cordaware bestinformed. You have the opportunity to play a sound file in the format WAV or a signal/system beep.
WAV file: If you want to play a WAV file, you can upload it via the App Content (Contents -> Content). Click here on the folder symbol and select a sound file from the Content Management.
After the installation of the infoserver sound examples are stored automatically. These sounds can be used when you insert the corresponding path to the soundfile. (e.g. http://infoserver:8000/sounds/tada.wav
•tada.wav •siren.wav •print.wav •ms.wav •destruct.wav |
If you want to provide the WAV file externally to use it in an info message, the following steps must be followed:
1.Store the WAV file on a web server The desired sound file must be stored on a web server. Since the Infoclient can only access the sound file if it is provided via HTTPS, it is essential that the web server has a valid SSL certificate. When retrieving the file on the client, no certificate errors should occur. You can check this by entering your server address (e.g., https://my-server.com/) in the browser and verifying that the certificate is valid on your client. All clients in the network must be able to reach the web server through port 443.
2.Link the sound file in an info To link the sound file in an info message, go to the Sound tab when creating your info message. In the following view, enter the link (e.g., https://my-server.com/sounds/alarm.wav) to the location where the sound file is stored in the Sound text field.
The Infoclient will call the link specified under Sound upon receiving the info and play the sound file stored there. |
Signal beep: Beside the WAV sounds you can play various system sounds which will be entered in the same text field. The following values/system sounds can be entered here:
psOK, psError, psWelcome, psEmergency, psWrong, psCall, psOfficial, psDaze, psFall, pfChord, psWhisle, psHanging, psClimb
Please note: If this text field stays empty and the option Signal On Info is activated concidently, the default sound of the client will be played back automatically. On the other hand corrupted inputs will automatically generate a beep sound.
With the option Sound only, no visible message! will not be displayed a newsticker, only the named sound will be played back.
Signal: The activation of the option Signal on Info will set, that a signal sound will be played back once the Info started.
