Add Distinctive Ringtone

You can configure the characteristics of each ring tone using a ring tone script. When phone receives SIP
Alert-INFO message and the message format is correct, then the phone plays the specified ringtone. Otherwise,
the phone plays the default ringtone.
Procedure
In a ring tone script, assign a name for the ring tone and add the script to configure a distinctive ringtone in
the format:
n=ring-tone-name;h=hint;w=waveform-id-or-path;c=cadence-id;b=break-time;t=total-time
where:
n = ring-tone-name that identifies this ring tone. This name appears on the Ring Tone menu of the phone. The
same name can be used in a SIP Alert-Info header in an inbound INVITE request to tell the phone to play the
corresponding ring tone. The name should contain the same characters allowed in a URL only.
h = hint used to SIP Alert-INFO rule.
w = waveform-id-or-path which is the index of the desired waveform to use in this ring tone. The built-in
waveforms are:
• 1 = Classic phone with mechanical bell
• 2 = Typical phone ring
• 3 = Classic ring tone
• 4 = Wide-band frequency sweep signal
You can also enter a network path (url) to download a ring tone data file from a server. Add the path in this
format:
w=[tftp://]hostname[:port]/path
