[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79XX SIP Ring Tones

[slwatts at winckworths.co.uk]

I think there is a bit of confution over the term 'ringtone'  I started 
out thinking that I could use Alert_Info to define a different ringtone 
that I had setup on the tftp server - ie it was the same as going to the 
phone and changing the ringing settings manually.

This is not the case and the release notes for firmware version 6 say that 
you can only use Alert_Info to define a ringtone that is held internally 
within the phone, and not a url or external tone. When testing it would 
seem that settings Bellcore-dr1 to Bellcore-dr5 only change the number of 
times the phone 'rings' per ring if you get my drift!! ie:

Bellcore-dr1 goes ring.....ring 
Bellcore-dr2 goes ringring.....ringring
Bellcore-dr3 goes ringringring......ringringring

Be aware that it seems that  if you set alert-info in asterisk it will 
override any ringer settings on the phone and always use the default 
rintone.

I have only found this out by testing it all out for a morning - if anyone 
knows how to set the rintone to a completely different one held on the 
tftp server then pls let me know. I am running Firmware 7.2 and none of 
the release notes since 6.0 highlight any changes in the behaviour of 
alert_info - very annoying.
