I think you're misreading the documentation. The Sipura doesn't detect
incoming distinctive ring at all. The cfw sel command makes the sipura
use a distinctive ring internally when it sees a specific caller-id.

I asked Sipura support about it when I first got my box and was told
it wasn't supported yet.  We can hope it happens it a later version of
the firmware.
