This example will answer the call and route to extension..

exten => s,1,Answer()           ; RING RING - CLICK
exten => s,2,Playback(transfer) ; "Please hold while I transfer your call"
exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/100,20,m) ; 20 sec. with MOH and then give up.


This example will route the call and wait for the extension to answer the call...

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/100)      ; RING RING RING ......


On the other hand, if you specify..

exten => s/5551234567,1,Dial(SIP/100)

Your SIP phone will only ring if incoming CID is 5551234567.

I have never tried distinctive ring as I do not subscribe to the service but Google would know.. :-)

dring1context, dring2context, dring3context: Along with setting up to three distinctive ring patterns with dring1, dring2 and dring3, you also set corresponding contexts for incoming calls matching those distinctive ring patterns to jump into. If an incoming call does not match any of the distinctive ring patterns defined, then of course it will enter Asterisk with the default context defined for this channel.
   dring1context=line2incoming
   dring2context=business
   dring3context=chocolate
