Hi Kerry, I'm also using grandstreams on a few places, have the 'same' 
issue/question. Afaik it can't be done with the current Grandsteam 
firmware. (at least, you can't command the phone to use tone X, like you 
can do with Cisco's)

You can use the phone's built-in "Distinctive Ring Tone:" setting 
(Advanced settings), but I'm not aware of any 'wildcard' you can fill in 
there, I only got it to work when filling in an 'exact' number.

It could be that the next firmware (should have arrived end of oct) 
gives us distinctive ring tones and working hint leds.. Let's hope..

If you do find a way to get any working, please report back to the list, 
meanwhile, i'm eagerly waiting for the firmware :)

cheers!
