In the 'distinctive ring' section on that page is this paragraph:

-
Beware that firmware prior to 0.9.5 exhibits an off-by-one error. For 
example, if you want to ring "Classic-1" in an older firmware then you 
have to use "Classic-2". This bug has been corrected in version 0.9.5.
-

So setting it to "Simple-1" will actually use "Classic-4" on pre-0.9.5 
firmware (like the one on my desk).  And asking it for "Classic-1" will 
give you silence.

The real issue is that you need to use:

SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=Simple-2)

This is mentioned in a correction to the Sipura SPA-2000 wiki page, but 
not the SPA-841.
