[Asterisk-Users] Use of Alert_Info with C7960?

[Christopher Lee]

The custom ring tones are selectable through the Ring Type option in the
Settings menu. When the phone rings, it will play that custom ring tone.

Perhaps it's a memory limitation or an issue with the way Cisco are
implementing the SIP firmware as to why you can't select a custom ring tone,
you'd be better asking a Cisco engineer (open a TAC case)

The phone will only download the currently selected custom ring tone
(defined in RINGLIST.DAT) from the TFTP server each time it boots, or when
you select another custom ring tone from the Ring Type option.
